... CONQUERED!
Boy oh boy am I so glad that I made it through and completed Viper Challenge. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's Asia's First Biggest Obstacle Challenge. It's a 20km obstacle course challenge with 20 obstacles. There is no time limit or strict restrictions that you will need to complete every obstacles before moving on.
I signed up many months ago and got the early bird pricing, not even sure why and then CON-vince 5 others to join along with me. Trained here and there for it but I must say that I was not diligent in my training and did not train at all 2 weeks leading up to the Challenge.
Proud to say, I completed all 20 obstacles but only managed to go half way for the monkey bar before falling into the pool. But.. half way is still good la for my standard :)
I could not have done the challenge without my team mates.
We had so much fun and just helped each other on throughout the entire challenge, from boosting each other up the wall, encouraging each other to go on when it got really hot and tiring, waiting for each other before starting each obstacle to ensure that everyone makes it through, and makes it through well and of course just had a ball of fun.
I had never ever ran 2km straight in my life before and here I had signed up for a 20km challenge (what was I thinking??). Each obstacle came as such a welcome as it meant we did not have to jog for a bit :) The last 2km were the toughest for me.
The man stayed by my side every step of the last 2km and encouraged me to go on and complete it. I couldn't have done it without his support.
When I saw the last 2 obstacles and the finish line, I got my second wind and ran for it!
Ultimately I had loads of fun. I soft of conquered my fear of heights, had scratches and bruises here and there, couldn't walk for 2 days, got sun tan crazy.
Would I do it again? If you had asked me that same week, I'd probably say NO!!! If you ask me now, my answer is 'most probably' :)
