10 year quest - Sun 8th Jan 2023 (complete šŸ—”ļø)

Was planning my knighthood attempt earlier this year, but some health issues got in the way, hopefully seen the back of that now. Next Feb marks 10 years since my first Sufferfest video, so would be apt to do it then (and yes itā€™d be about bloody time!) I was thinking it would be nice to do one video from each year, but donā€™t think any were released in 2021 for obvious reasons(?) Do these dates look right? And in 2013 the only releases were Blender, ISLAGIATT and Violator??? :sob::rofl:

Fun start, and aptly named title to finish. Thoughts? :point_down:

Love your idea, looks awful. Good luck!

:smirk:

Your dates through Butter are pretty much correct - I donā€™t have official release dates for anything after the site went to full streaming in 2017, but the order is correct. I know The Model and Rue The Day since they were released this year, but whereā€™d you get the dates for the others, if I may ask?

For the archivesā€¦you guys are going to make me catalog all of them, arenā€™t you? :joy:

Thanks :slight_smile: I searched Twitter. Most were announced on the @thesufferfest (now @wahooSYSTM) account. Found a couple of more recent new vid announcements in the forum here.

And yeahā€¦those were the 2013 releases. They also released The Rubber Glove - the first FTP test in 2013, but that went away with the advent of HM and FF.

Soooo glad Iā€™m missing Blender for my KoS next month!

Ah yeah I remember doing Rubber Glove many years ago. This is what I found, a few of them Iā€™m not 100% on the date, but should be there or thereabouts. 6 at the bottom I couldnā€™t figure out, but only the Chores is valid for KoS anyway.

The Chores release date is a ā€œbest guessā€ from Internet Archive, www.thesufferfest.com, cached records, and old social media posts. More likely 9/5, since I think it was released w Defender.

No worries! And best of luck on your KoS.

Though @#$%ā€¦that puts my master list up to 61, but there are 63 currently available in the libraryā€¦sigh. Back to work.

Thanks, you too!

Ah, forget the Open: series are all Sufferfest too, and dropped The Toolshed for some reason.

Now weā€™re all caught up. :roll_eyes:

Training begun today with a Full Frontal to see where things are at :face_vomiting:. I now feel very unusual. Surprised there are only marginal changes from my last test earlier in the year. Was expecting more of a drop off tbh, but actually see a slight increase in FTP & MAP. I suppose worth doing anyway as Iā€™m using a different trainer now (CORE) so have a baseline with that.

Onwards.

3/5 The Best Thing etc etc done at 80%

Feeling ok, legs starting to burn a bit. Breaks gone smoothly so far with 5, 8 & 8 mins on the clock. Nutrition & hydration seem good.

Power Station next :factory:

4/5 - Power Station done at 80%. I was crying with laughter at points during that. I mean I know it has its comedy moments but still, starting to lose itā€¦ :rofl:

Butter next

4 Likes

5/5 Butter done at 80%. Iā€™m not laughing anymore, that was a killer. :tired_face:

~140km, 5h12, or 5h40 including breaks.

A few good lessons learned with that, need more fuel, quantity and variation. Made a mistake not stretching in the break before the last one.

Not too far off giving it a go though I reckon. Date tbc but soon.
