Viper Challenge 2013


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.

Port Dickson International Triathlon 2013: Who's gonna take up the challenge this time?


Event: Port Dickson International Triathlon 2013
Venue: Avillion Admiral Cove, PD, Negeri Sembilan
Date: 6 & 7 July 2013

We're still remember that last year EYKL Fun Runners had 1 representative - EFR 16 - joined this event. He finished his battle in Olympic Distance Triathlon category of 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run. Actually, some of EFR runners are being spotted training hard to join triathlon. As the admin searching through the start list, we only able to find 1 name - EFR 11. He will participate in Sprint Triathlon category, which he must finish 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run.



This year actually the organiser introduced the Triathlon Challenge category instead of Olympic Distance Triathlon (last year). The person who registered for this challenge will have to go through 1.6km swim, 2km beach run, 45km bike and 8.5km run. Crazy?? But I'm sure a true runner will love it.

Individual entitlements:
Event t-shirt
Carbo-loading dinner
Swim cap
Race number
Bike number
Helmet number
Timing chip with strap (for Sprint & Triathlon Challenge category)
Goodies bag

Finishers:

Check Your Result Here!

3rd March 2013, Singapore once again set their bar high in organizing such an awesome event called Singapore City Race 2013. This is their first time organizing such a race, the event consist of four categories: Mini Distance for 5km, Short Distance for 10km, Mid Distance for 20km and Long Distance for 40KM. All the runners get to explore Singapore in the first The North Face Singapore City Race, a race like no other. This free-form foot race get the runners running through Singapore’s iconic landmarks, discover Singapore in a day from their modern city center, through Singapore River, to Chinatown, old Colonial Singapore, their beautiful gardens and much more. Runners get a glimpse of the rich heritage and color of Singapore.

EFR 7 together with EFR 25 and her husband and kids join the race as team called EFR representing our blog. They registered for short distance- 10KM as they ran with kids in 2 strollers. They are given a map of Singapore and 5 checkpoints that they need to go to collect a sticker at each checkpoint and complete the race with all 5 stickers. 


EFR team (EFR 7 and EFR 25 with her family)
For short distance, the race flag off at 9.30am, EFR 7 as the leader and the person in charge to lead the run (as she is good in reading map) planned the route for the race. She decided to go to Checkpoint 2 (near Chinatown) then Checkpoint 4 (near riverside point) then Checkpoint 3 (on top of the hills of Fort Canning Park), followed by Orchard Road as Checkpoint 6 (in front of Ion Orchard) and the last Checkpoint 5 (at Bugis area) before heading back to finish line across Millenia Walk where the race started.

As they run or they called it strolling with the kids, they don’t really run during the race, they walk and pushing the stroller along the way. They didn’t get the best timing, infact 6th place from the last (368 out of 373 teams), with a timing 4hrs and 39 mins,yet they didn’t bother about the timing as they had so much fun exploring the city. Most of the time they were camwhoring, taking picture of the iconic landmarks and their running moments, not to forget had to change the diapers for the baby, feed the baby and make some milk, toilet break, window shopping (can u imagine they had a window shopping time during the race), having their lunch break at Shiraz Mazzeh having premium lamb kebab and beef kebab, and eating the famous 1 dollar ice cream in a bun along orchard road.

The race is a good way promoting Singapore and a good tourism idea to attract people to join the race in the future. Some of Singaporean runners who did 40km run also said there are many place that they haven’t explore in their own country and they also had so much fun in that race.


At the finishing line, all the runners are provided with isotonic drinks, yogurt bar, apple, orange, banana, chicken subway for non muslim, veggie subway for vegetarians and the one that caught our attention was they even provided food for muslim runners. The meal was awesome.


Food after the run
All and all, from the feedback of EFR 7 and EFR 25, they definitely wanna join the race again next year if the Organizer decided to have it, as they are totally happy and enjoy the race. For EFR 7, she said she love the idea of the race and the sightseeing so she plan to join the mid distance in the future and get a better timing for sure. Thumbs up to the organizer, it was an awesome event.
