Viper Challenge 2013 held last weekend on 17 and 18th
August 2013. It was a 20km run with 20 obstacles along the way. We got EFR
representative took part on this Asia Biggest Challenge. EFR 7, EFR 31 and EFR
35 joined as a team under Team Stallenator with their Chief Original Bootcamp
gang. It was called Stallenator as they sometimes stalled during bootcamp
session and to make it interesting, they changed the tabata protocol to 20 seconds
active 60 seconds rest (the real one is only 10 seconds rest). EFR 35 was the
captain of the team and she never left her teammates behind, she was walking
with one of the teammate who got injured badly and they still managed to
complete the run within 4 hours together with EFR 31. As for EFR 7 who run with
other teammates completed the run in 3 hours and 20 mins. On the same day, EFR
3 also take part and completed the run within 3 hours and 15 minutes.
All of
them compete on the first day itself where the event was poorly organized.
There was no water station (only big giant black tank of Syabas pipe water
where all the runners need to drink it from the pipe), medical help also was
very poor as they don’t have any deep heat cream or spray and medical supplies
are not enough. Despite all that, the route and the obstacles was awesome and
all the runners seems to enjoy the run.

On the very next day, EFR 25 took part and she said the
organizer did lots of improvement after so called “guinea pigs” runners (on the first day) already
complained about the event. They got plenty of proper water
station, they provide mineral water, 100plus, bananas and ice cream where none
was provided in the first day itself. EFR 25 also managed to complete within 4
hours with her teammates. We hope next year they will provided a better
organize event and makes all the runners happy as we pay a lot for this event.
Some maybe paid for RM99 for early bird, but some of us paid RM173, so we do
expect better organizer for the run with that sum of money.
