I am hereby making my Way-Too-Early-Second-KOS-Anniversary-Quest-Announcement. I’ve added my training plans to my calendar. I am all set to prepare myself for my second annual KOS Anniversary Quest. (also known as my third annual KOS Quest). **I am qualified because:** 1. I am ( \*well ) over 18 years old ( \*_unwell?_ ) 2. I have an appointment to see my doctor 3. There is no third qualification My attempt will take place (GvA willing) on either Nov 4, 11, or 18. Preferably on the 11th (that’s closest to the actual date), but I’ve given myself some flexibility and I’ll nail down the date as it gets closer. **My current list looks like this:** 1. **The Best Thing in the World** to start because every KOS quest starts with misplaced optimism. 2. **Team Scream** at #2 because at this point I will be screaming at myself, wondering why I am doing this to myself again. 3. **The Rookie** is up next for some GvA motivation because if I survive Team Scream I will feel I’m ready for my Pro Contract. 4. **Local Hero** comes after The Rookie because I will still be feeling on top of the world. This is where that feeling will likely end. 5. Next I will **Do As You’re Told** because now I’ll be proper suffering with the finish line still a long way off and I’ll need to follow orders and keep riding. 6. Now we get into the nemesis workouts as I feel like my body is being squeezed by **14 Vice Grips** 7. And then I’ll need my second nemesis **The Shovel** to dig myself out of the hole I’ve put myself in and find the courage to dig my way out. 8. Once I’ve found my courage I’ll need to get to my **Power Station** and generate everything I’ve got so I can finish this quest. 9. At #9 I will be in **A Very Dark Place**. 10. Finally at #10 I will be **The Model** of a Knight of Sufferlandria as I rip through my tenth workout (Or it rips through me - one or the other). 11. If I’ve finished all 10 then I will be the **GOAT** and start my victory tour in style with Mike Cotty as my personal laser goat. 🐐 12. And I will finally put myself out of my misery with **Revolver** and there will be nothing left. This is the end of me - er, I mean, the end of this successful 🤞 anniversary quest. 13. _(Next Year?)_ 🤦‍♂️ 🙄 \*_I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell…_ ---

Very well thought out plans! Excellent! And - by the way - if you hear the following conversation during #10: _How am I looking? You‘re looking beautiful babe!_ …then you might look, well, just, err, beautiful…! Crush it! 💥 💥 💥 ---

Doug: I watch a YouTube channel that has trains from Pomfret New York, US. He has a Norfolk Southern on fire as one of his intro/outro videos. The engine blew a turbo and eventually caught fire like that. ---

With the seasons changing I’ve nailed down my calendar. It’s no longer too early to announce that I’ve now chosen Fri Nov 18 as the date of my second KOS anniversary quest. Cleaned my bike and soaked and thoroughly scrubbed out all my gearing over the weekend. Now riding on smoother gears with new SUF nation themed shoes. A month and a half should be plenty of time to break them in. Rode 755 miles in Sept for the Great Cycling Challenge. Form is rounding out nicely. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/2X/e/e6784a9c23b06a862a9ea8c1d84d6ad94a8d0b44.jpeg) Think 6 weeks is long enough for SUF to finally roll out that long-requested playlist function? 🤞 ---

Hey Sir @emacdoug, I gotta say I laughed a little (out loud) when I looked at your list again 😈. 12 Vids. I’m already looking forward to next year! ![evil laugh](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/2X/2/2b110cf9b24ea61f7a29fb330a0d1b9ac66560c4.jpeg) [Next page](https://wahoox.forum.wahoofitness.com/t/way-too-early-second-kos-anniversary-quest-announcement/18902.md?page=2)
