Go Mudder Girls!

Like many people all over the world
These obstacles we will conquer
Tough Mudder Whistler here we come
Oh, what the heck are we in for?

Full on training and finding muscles
We some how never felt before
Ice and massage and long hot baths
And carefully stretching what is sore

Get up early or stay up late
Prioritize the time to train
Increasing muscles and endurance
The saying is "no pain, no gain"

But oh, the joy when at the juncture
Of doing what we previously could not
The boost in confidence when we see
The strengthening we have so sought

Don't over do it--listen to your body
Tenacity that knows the limit
Don't compare yourself to anyone else
We will each individually "win" it

Get together and know your team
For each other we will loyally support
Push and cheer and give a helping hand
And don't let any comrade abort!

I think I can! I think I can!
I truly believe you can too
All of us will rejoice together
When we discover what we really can do

We will scale walls that tower above
Crawl through closed and cramped spaces
We will jump from heights and over trenches
And manoeuvre through muddy places

We will be one with biting snow and slush
And mud and dirt and rocks
We will experience nature like never before
It'll be in our ears and underwear and socks

And in that discomfort we will try
To traverse the unnerving monkey bars
Trying not to slip and fall
Oh my word, I think I see stars!

Use your balance, use your strength
Beams and logs to traverse
Over and under and swinging on rope
Which obstacle will be the worst?

Maybe the ice cold bath to cross
Will our limbs be able to function?
Or, possibly the ten thousand volts
Do these organisers have no compunction?

Can you do a pull up--lift up to your chin?
Can you run for a couple of miles?
Are you afraid of heights--can you jump?
Will your face be frowning or all smiles?

Keep up the good work, this'll be great
It will actually be so much fun
Some of us pray for a cool, breezy day
While others really need that sun

There are people think it's way too much macho
And they can't understand why we'd do it
Some think we are absolutely crazy
(Maybe we are but we won't regret it)

So glad to be doing this with you girls
So proud of each and every feat
Mind over matter and "Hoorah, hoorah"
We will soon have TOUGH MUDDER beat!
