Viper Virgin No More

Another achievement unlocked! After wanting to try for some time I finally had the guts to do Viper Challenge. Well, we registered as a team of 4 but 2 of my friends had a problem with their registration so ended it was just the 2 of us. We signed up for the 6.45am flag off and it was a good decision as it wasn't that hot and we managed to finish everything in 4 hours. It was quite challenging especially the upper body obstacles and out of 20 obstacles I completed 18 as the 2 that I missed are actually wall kind of challenge which I don't have the height and support to complete it. Besides that, it was pretty muddy as well. Overall, it was quite a fun and interesting experience but will I do it again? Maybe not. Yup, definitely survived My post Viper meal, soo good!

The Zombie Invasion

Yesterday I went for Zombie Run 2014 at Putrajaya in conjunction with Hari Belia 2014. There are various time slots and each time slots last 1 hour and we registered for the 5pm slot. Since there’s a few event going on at the same time in Putrajaya, we decided to gather at Wan Ling’s house, parked our car there and car pool to Putrajaya.  We left Wan Ling’s house about 3.30pm and reached Putrajaya at 4.10pm. There was congestion on the road heading towards Precinct 2, 3 and 4 so we decided to just park along the road side and walked to Precinct 4 as the Zombie Run was next to Galleria Precinct 4. The walk to the starting line was about 2km, but we had no choice as we can’t get any closer parking to the event place.  Once we reached at the registration counter, we registered ourselves and we were given the race bibs. The bibs have a small triangle flag attached to it which will represent our lives during the run. We have to keep the flag safe from the zombies...

Run Chicken Run

After one year and a half of not running, I finally ran again this morning for Kenny Rogers Chicken Run. The unique thing about this run was you have to balance an egg on an ice cream cone during the run. The organizers claimed that the distance of the run was 4.8km but when my friend tracked the run it was 6.55km.  Early Sunday morning All runners gathered at Sunway Lagoon entrance at 7am to collect our egg, cone and entrance ticket to Sunway Lagoon. Yes, we were entitled to one day pass into Sunway Lagoon but as all of us wanted to rest as its Sunway, our tickets just burned like that.  Getting in the mood to run with an egg My running partner We finally flagged off at 8.20am after the men’s started their run. Since I was out of practice, I only managed to run 1.5km before I lose my strength and started to walk. It was a mistake on my part to stop running as after that I started to get stitches on my right abdomen which slowed me down. The sun was alread...
