Pharmaton MVP Challenge week 3 updates / joining in a month long race is not a joke

IMG_0124
The Pharmaton MVP Challenge Week 3 brings our 5 racers closer to the finish line, our challenger racers felt the pressure again on the race and obstacle that they faced for week 3.

more story below


An endurance race on the next series gave them a challenge to do a mile run in Talisay, Batangas, then a bike time trail in Tagaytay City, then followed by a kayak race after they wake up in the morning. The challengers didn't quit and never rest, and as Popo Remigio said an interview - "Participating in a month-long endurance challenge is no joke, it really is very tiring but we also get to enjoy ourselves because of the different places we visit."

Its great to hear that our challengers do enjoy after the race, but I know all of them got only focus - to win the race and took home the P500k prize cash.

The next day is that they drove all the way from Batangas going to Quezon City were they faced a mini challenge at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Bureau. Mini challenges requires less muscles, but more on the brain. Focus is needed here and I know our challengers knows what to do in this mini challenges.

Subic, Zambales gave our challengers a road bike challenge and then a stressful uphill and downhill run. The day finished at the Pawikan Center and the next challenge was to help these baby sea turtles to be released onto the open sea. While in Subic, they race again with their bikes going to Gawad Kalinga Center to bond and share gifts to the underprivileged people. After the bonding time with the locals, a brain twister challenge awaits at the Subic's Eco Village.

The Subic leg of the race ended with another kayak challenge, the race brought them to Alaminos, Pangasinan with a lot of running and stamina test, the run challenge will only take half an hour to the finish line. And of course, if you are in Alaminos, you need to take another swim challenge through the beautiful Hundred islands, then another running challenge in Lingayen.

On Day 23 of the challenge, a water sport challenge gave our challengers another test, that's surfing and paddling in San Juan Resort in La Union. And after the surf, they will have another brain challenge that waits for them in Vigan.

According to Anthony Cuerpo, one of the racers, he said that traveling and the changes in the environment add to the pressure in the game, the fatigue gave him a slow setting but he manage to survive the 2nd week of the race.
