NorCal Füsters (SEPs, wait your turn):
One last update before we close the books on Winterfüste 2019 tomorrow . . .
A quick ask . . . if you completed all the Fastentag days and have earned the +5p bonus, please text GG immediately with confirmation. It will save GG having to scroll through pages and pages of data to track each Fastentag day. Remember, if you received the bonus for Hungreiger Geist, you are not eligible to receive the Fastentag bonus!
A reminder, the Finalefüste event will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Building in Santa Rosa. Address is 1351 Maple Ave. We will be in the “North Room”. Do not confuse us with the large crab feed going on in the main hall. Even starts at 6pm . . . this is not one of those things where you want to be fashionably late! Please show up on time as we have a lot to do to finish out Winterfüste 2019!
In addition to a beer or wine of choice (carried circumspectly in a brown bag), please bring a towel with which to cushion your planking position (hint, hint).
Don’t forget to weigh in first thing tomorrow morning and send a pic to GG so he can recored your final weight. Remember, every pound lost is 0.5p to your Gruppen so even if you’re not coming to the FF, you can still contribute towards their success.
Yes, tomorrow is an active Füsting day. You can earn punkte by exercising, not eating sugar or processed foods and not drinking alcohol before the final bell sounds at ~6pm . . . so don’t slouch off on the last day! You will report off for the day’s activity when you arrive at the FF event. If you’re unfortunately not attending, please send GG one final text at 5pm (yes, 5pm) to record your final days work (and so he can add your points to the final Bestenliste).
The final update to the website, with the point tallies for both the Individual and Gruppen games, will post sometime Saturday, March 2nd.
Don’t forget, Kühl in blue tomorrow night, Gletscher in green.
That’s it, Füsters! For those attending, we’ll see you tomorrow night. For this who aren’t, GG will touch base with you one last time after your final report . . . It’s been a pleasure being your Geschäftsführer again for another Füste. You guys are all incredible people and you should be proud of everything you personally accomplished during the first two months of this year (yes, it’s already March!). Everything you did, every day, was 100% you. You made that happen. All the miles walked or run, the swimming or the rowing or the biking, the 23 Drachens slayed (a new WF record) . . . all the kräp you didn’t eat, the alcohol you didn’t drink, everything you did or didn’t do was a pure, unfiltered act of will power. And just because Winterfüste is coming to an end does not mean you have to stop . . . Take the things you’ve done, the new habits you’ve formed and play them forward into your daily non-Füsting life. You don’t have to be obsessive about it, just take a little bit with you as you leave. That’s all that GG asks . . .
Good luck in the rest of 2019 and may the Füste be with you!
GG
