First Adventure Race of Northface-Araw ng DAVAO 06


This picture was taken during the first adventure race of north face during Araw ng DAVAO 2006. The race covered bikings, and 5 kilometer long run.
The worst obstacles i have been encountered during the race, that i had to eat 4 kilograms of durian simultaneously. It was my first time to eat the durian fruits of Davao. chris and yoyong were laughing at me, kasi it was really my first time to eat the durian fruit.
knowing that, Durian is a fruit: a big, green thorny fruit native to Malaysia and Indonesia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout South East Asia. It has a creamy texture, and the taste of its flesh sends its eaters into ecstasies (and it has the reputation of being an aphrodisiac) But is has one drawback. It has an extremely offensive odor described as garlic like, similar to stinky feet, and like Limburger cheese. Some countries even ban the presence of durian in hotels and on public transportation due to its offensive smell.

At the end of the race we were in the 5th placer among the 16 teams joined the competition. Of course the prizes are libreng foot spa, 20% discount of all northface items and apparel, and one night free stay in Marco Polo , and certificate of recognition.
