Season 5 Champions League Final
Last Season's (4th) Champions League Final was one man show by @ptaku. This Season (5th) Final was an epic battle between two players who went far and beyond their norm. @merthin did his lifetime best step count on a working day. Only very few mountain hikes had more steps. @browery achieved his season's best and struggled against "life obstacles". Only one point and about 1250 steps were between the Winner and the Runner-up.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Winner of Champions League Season 5 is...
@merthin !
Wednesday, Jan 26
@browery vs @merthin 48:49 (47508-48789)
I have quickly interviewed the Winner and he said:
It feels great to be able to walk almost 40km on a bleak, winter day. And it was a working day (home office), so I had to do something extra. Only a few years ago walking 5km seemed to much. It's a feeling of fulfillment, achievement and also gratitude. I want to thank my Final and Semifinal rivals - @browery and @bucipuci have spurred me to go for something that had seemed unachievable.
