Updated August 13th, 2026, from my home in Copenhagen.
On July 6th, I completed my Self-supported Hærvejen FKT. It was a wonderful experience and by far the hardest thing I've ever done! I managed an average of 77 km a day, got through without injury, and after two to three weeks, I was able to pick up training and start dreaming again.
I spent some of my recovery time tending the vineyard in Rørvig that I've been put in charge of. I don't really have a plan, and without a car, the 100 km journey is a bit of a hassle. So, I take it little by little, keeping my ambitions low and focusing on learning.
Speaking of wine: a couple of weeks ago, I finally took the decision to quit alcohol entirely. It was a surprisingly easy decision, and something I look at with excitement. There is so much I want to do, and trying to moderate my alcohol consumption is just taking away focus. Also, I think I can easily conclude that my body has had its share of wine and beer. The complexity of wine still fascinates me, so I'm not turning my back on it completely. But now I'll just interact with it from a craft and philosophical point of view.
