Week 7: Isn't the back half supposed to be downhill? 🤔

Hallo FĂźsters!

Let GG be the first to congratulate you for making it all the way to Periode III! You may or may not have noticed that about 25% of those Füsters who started the journey with us back on January 2nd have either officially retired or just straight up ghosted GG (always a fun experience)! And so, as a thanks for being dedicated to both the game and to your own self improvement, GG awards you with TRIPPELT WORKOUTS! That’s right, they’re finally here! What’s a Trippelt? It’s either 3 seperate Singelts (e.g. a 5K run + a 1500 yard swim + a 7500m row) or a Singelt plus a Doppelt (e.g. 15 mile bike ride + a 10K run) or you can complete one of the Trippelt workout parameters as defined on the Schmerzenfüste page (go HERE to review because there are some changes to some of the Doppelt parameters too, as well as updated info on how to shorten a walk/hike by now carrying 25 pounds) . . . pro tip, the Trippelt workout parameters are traditionally a little less intense then doing three seperate Singelts or a Singelt/Doppelt combo.

On to this week’s update:

  • First thing’s first . . . here’s what you can do for exercise points this week: 3 Trippelts, 2 Doppelts, 1 Singelt and 1 day off (also now knowns as a “Lazy Long Dog Day”).

  • Next, new bonuses are posted and remember that as Periode II just ended, so did all those bonuses that were available for the last three weeks. If you didn’t knock em out, well, better luck next FĂźste! Now it’s time to concentrate on the final 3 weeks of bonuses! What’s past is past (unless it’s a pseudo Leap Year 🧐). Go HERE to review the new bonuses.

  • Your homework requirement has been updated (and don’t forget, we’re a couple weeks out from a 3 minute plank AND your Final Exam etc. so time for one last big push!). Go HERE to check out your assigned homework for Week 7!

  • Tomorrow’s your 7th Fastentag. Only three more days of being hangry and having a veriafiable excuse for being terrible to your co-workers on Mondays! Remember, clear liquids only from dawn to dusk.

  • Scavenger Hunt #7: Get a stranger to say “For the FĂźste” on camera (while making whatever hand gesture you feel is appropriate to represent this experience) and send to GG to earn your +1p Haus hunt bonus!

  • Did GG mention Trippelts are now in play?

Finally, as GG mentioned in one of last week’s texts, because there was a mess up around the Weighted Walk #2 bonus (30 pounds over 3 miles) during Week 6, GG is allowing you to complete it this week if needed. But since it won’t show up on the DRT, you need to let GG know you did it so he can score it for you.

That’s it for tonight, Füsters! For those in NorCal, enjoy a couple more days of rain and Winter weather. Spring will be here before we know it (and so will Sprungfüsten . . . 😎).

Have a great Week 7 and may the FĂźste be with you always!
GG
