My Last Man Standing Experience

My Thumb Onto the Nissan Car

Last Friday April 29, I challenged myself up to the limit. I joined the " Last Man Standing Challenge" held and conducted at the Manila Ocean Park Concourse Area. The competition was sponsored by Nissan Motor Philippines that's why a brand new Nissan Sendra car is at stake for the last man standing participant. I am so motivated as well as my husband which was the one who's interested to join but it ended up the two of us are in the competition. The event was started at around 10AM medical team has arrived and check all the participants vital signs, a short briefing about the rules and regulation was reviewed, how to use the 3 biobreaks (5mins each) and a welcome and motivation talk from the officials of Manila Ocean Park and Nissan Motor Philippines and the competition proper was then begun at exactly 2:30PM.

42 Participants chooses where the thumb stickers be place (any part of the car) and stick our right thumb onto the car the whole duration of the competition. I myself chooses the one under the door handles because it is more comfortable for my height and it slightly slanting which is an  advantage for me to move my body in order. At  5PM, the facilitator gave us a challenge, that is, to eat a banana using our right hand holding it (thumbs still at the car) and the left hand peeling, we gained a prize of another biobreak on this. Then 9PM came the challenge is to stand in one foot, all our left foot are instructed to lift up and maintain that way until the end of the competition, if caught touching the floor or leaning to the other foot looses. Now this time it really breaks me, at around 11PM my right foot is aching and i cant stand to maintain it that's why I decided to use my biobreak to rest and have my dinner also. After 5 minutes, I ran to my place and position myself where I left it and immediately after another challenge was given that is to hold an orange fruit with lots of oil on it, then by 1AM the challenge the part which  I almost gave up because cant do it due fats on neck, the egg challenge, which was instructed us to hold on our neck.The egg is raw and it was slipping when placed on my neck because Im so full of sweat and to think that all of the challenges should maintain at once.So I used all the rest of my biobreaks to maintain my place on the competition .Many eggs are fallen, lots of them gave up due foot aching, but I said to myself  I have to make it at least until the 10th place for me to walk-head high after the competition.
