Week 5: Back Half

Hallo Füsters!

Well, we made it to the halfway point and as expected, Sömmer Kamp remains the bear it’s always been. It is some kind of sadistic to deny people their right to a cold drink and a toatsted s’more on a warm Sömmer evening but then that’s how the flank meat wins so . . . here we are, the final 30 or so players for 2023. Four weeks left in the game, one more week of Doppelts before the final push and the glorious pain that is the Trippelt Schmerzenfüste!

But for now . . . onward!

  • Fastentag #5, Monday, August 7th. You know what to do (or rather, what not to do). Sunset is 07:01pm for SoCal, 07:37pm for NorCal.

  • You got 50 flights of stairs this week BUT it’s the first time that your weekly vertical suffering will be worth +3p so there’s that.

  • Sömmer Kamp Challenge Course for Week 5: Time one of your workouts to end right at sunset this week. Attach a pic of said sunset to your STRAVA post of the workout and title it: “The Sun Never Sets on the Füste!”. Score +1p bonus.

  • GG realized a little late that he made a mistake with the Cycling Doppelt Schmerzenfüste parameter. It’s been corrected.

  • Remember, this coming Sunday is the end of Periode II and all associated bonuses must be complete by midnight. If you’ve been stacking them up, you’ve only got 7 days left (only one bonus allowed each day!)!

  • Speaking of bonuses, only two new ones posted for Week 5: GO HERE.

That’s it for now. Halfway point of the game is a good time to start thinking about your Drachenfüste and what you’re going to put yourself through to earn that über bonus. It’ll be September before we know it!
