Viper Challenge - Genting King of Mountain 2016

The first Viper Challenge was the famous 21KM Viper Sepang started in year 2013. Now, Viper Challenge has evolved into 3 Viper events, which are the

  • VIPER ARENA
  • VIPER CHALLENGE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN
  • VIPER CHALLENGE SEPANG
One who finished the 3 events within the same year is entitle the Series Finisher Medal!! 

We have done the Viper Arena on March 2016, hence left the Viper KOM and Viper Sepang. 
Soon after we done Viper Arena, we just register ourselves for Viper KOM once the registration commenced. As usual, we so wanted to grab the launch sales tix! LOL~ 

Viper KOM was held in Genting, around the Gohtong, Skyway, and golf range area.The weather is always awesome to run unless it's raining. We tried the first Viper KOM last year, it was a great experience, no long Q, challenging obstacles with fun elements, cooling weather to run, nice food (I'm guessing anything edible will be delicious after the run). 
This time, we have more teammate joining as Team Real Steel! 

The starting point and carnival zone was same as last year, with more food choices and mobile toilets (Bravo for this!). Starting from registration, claiming wristband, baggage drop, area for warm-up, everything smooth with no complaints! 
We gather at the carnival area to have our breakfast and little chit-chat as usual, then follow by warm-up lead by team captain.
Our team captain A.K.A Evil Trainer - Vkey has become more strict on us and wanted to push us more. *Ask anyone in Team Real Steel, they definitely understand it!*

First stretch of starting was same as last year, it was a ascending road with additional tyre jump. We just run all the way up for around 3km until lung explode and heart bursting. There were few new obstacles and the one that we loved the most was Rotating Cube!!! We even did it twice! Even though we're wet and freezing, it definitely worth to Q for second time! You must try it then you know the fun of it! 

Here are some obstacles in Viper KOM: 

 This swing need both arm and core-strength! 

 I have underestimated this!! Careless mistake cause to fall into red-pool!! Urgh!

 Vkey trying to skip 3 bars per grab! 

 The fun Rotating Cube!

"Are you ready? Who go first?!"

Just trying to be Koala resting on top

 "Yeah, I'm good!"

Show off again! 5 pull-ups before go over, sap-sap-sui la!

We actually quite enjoy ourselves at the last few obstacles because we run all the way and potong many walker, giving us more time go play around before getting our finisher medal! 

 Real Steel! We nailed it!

 Sexy back show-off

 "Hmm... what should i eat later?"

 Finish jor, tee-hee! 

Pose nice nice!

Comparing to last year Viper KOM, it has fewer obstacles with mud, hence easier for us to wash-down. We're just rinse through our arms and legs, claim our bags, get change and done!! 
Some people complaint about the "less-mud" part, but i think it is a wise idea. Last year, participants were "showering", washing clothes and shoes at the wash-down area. And it is at Genting, no matter how hot the sun, it still chilling. I think the "muddy-level" for 3 Viper Challenge series would be like: Viper Sepang>Viper KOM>Viper Arena. 
So, if you're looking for muddy experience, Viper Sepang would be a better choice. And it is on 5-Nov, get yourself register for that mud-spa! 

All of us finish with a big smile on face, it was a fun challenge, and we prove our strong mental and physical strength! 

Now, can't wait for the upcoming Viper Sepang, conquer it, and get ourselves the Series Finisher Medal!!!
