Evening Füsters!

Believe it or not, we’ve chewed through six and a half weeks of game play and are now on long final for landing at the Finalefüste event on March 1st. And to that, just to reconfirm, March 1st will be the date but the Finalefüste will be an evening event (not late afternoon) and not at Howarth Park (but still somewhere in the greater Santa Rosa area). More to come on all this very soon . . .

Now to some updates:

Just a reminder, you can only do three Trippelt workouts in a row before stepping back down to a single. This is specifically designed to prevent you from injuring yourself if you happen to be hyper-0competitive or mentally ill.
You are now entering the most difficult phase of the Füste. With only 12 days left of game play, you will be tempted to lift your foot off the gas. Don’t do it! You don't have to be angling for the win like Marten or The Wolf to keep the pressure on to the end! Don’t cheat yourself by having a little nip of wine here or a cookie (looking at you Black Swan) there. Stick to your guns and let’s see just how much damage you can do to your flank meat before the Finalefüste!
It’s time for you to declare your Drachenfüste intentions to GG or JJ. You have until 17:00 hours on Friday to communicate what your plan is. You then have from Friday at midnight until 18:00 hours on March 1st to complete it. Remember, your Drachen must be at least equal to four single workout parameters and must truly challenge you (so if you’re a long distance marathon runner, don’t tell GG your Drachen is a marathon . . . ). Your Drachen, if slayed, is worth +10p (which is ‘UGE) so make sure you’re earning this giant reward. Declare, complete, and then bask in the glory of having set a goal that you may have thought was impossible back on Jan. 2nd but proved to be just another day in the Füsting saddle.
Prepare to be audited. To date, you should have been audited at least once. In the next two weeks, you will receive the final audit request and cards on the table, it will be more difficult than last time.
Week 7’s Hausaufgaben Assignment:
Complete five rounds of the following:
- 10 burpees (#23)
- 25 sit ups to twist (52)
- 20 plank ups (going from forearms to straight arms counts as 1) (#23)
- 60 second wall hold
- 90 second plank on forearms

Remember, the number in parentheses corresponds with the explanation of said maneuver found on this reference page: CLICK HERE.

No new bonuses this week as there are still plenty of Füsters who have plenty of bonus points to earn. If GG see a considerable increase in bonus play, he’ll release an extra bonus or two for the final week.
Having said that, prepare yourself for a Schnitzeljagd next weekend. What’s a Schnitzeljagd? Some may remember back to the first Sprûngenfüste event a couple of years ago. For the rest, it will be a surprise. But suffice it to say, the Schnitzeljagd is one of the all time most popular Füste activities!

That’s it for tonight, Füsters. Hope you had a good weekend and GG wishes you a pleasant Week 7.

Defeat the meat!
