on June 12 2026 I started my FKT attempt in Hoek van Holland with crew and friends. Running through the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg making my way to France where the fun really started. I found myself in a heatwave with the hottest day ever measured in France. I had to avoid running on the hottest moment of the day and so I started running in the early mornings and till late in the evening. I had some scary encounters with patou's and made sure I could stay ahead of forrest fires. On my way I ate countless Eclairs and Pain au chocolat and drank gallons of ginger ale.

This  adventure was never possible without my magnificent crew who did everything they could to keep me going.
