My soundtrack for the Sampson Stomp 5k run ended up being Industrial Strength Nightmares Radio episode 205. During the final stretch of the run, I listened to Clan of Xymox’s “Wake Up My Darling”. The song will not be on any of the Jock Jams compilations. Listening to the song helped me finish the race off strong. I was wearing all black for the race minus the Sampson Stomp ‘84 T-Shirt that was grey. Grey still counts.
Roller Derby is back. An organic rebirth of this predominately women’s sport has brought derby to hundreds of cities across North America and around the world. It’s full-contact, it’s fast, it’s fun, and chances are it’s somewhere near where you live.

Scientific American (blog)
I will try some of these techniques for the next bout that I am at.
