The Arctic Challenge

The Arctic Circle Challenge: 3 Countries, 3 Days, One Crazy Adventure

In just 20 days, I'll be attempting something that's equal parts exhilarating and terrifying: the Arctic Circle Challenge. After five years of dreaming and three foot surgeries since my last major challenge, I'm finally taking on this epic winter triathlon across Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

Picture this: fat biking through knee-deep snow, snowshoeing across pristine Arctic wilderness, and cross-country skiing through landscapes that look like they're straight out of Frozen. The twist? I've never done any of these sports before. Oh, and did I mention we're facing temperatures of -20°C?

Join me on this journey as I prepare for 45 miles of Arctic adventure, battle my hot-chocolate-only cold-weather diet, and discover whether dark chocolate really can help conquer the Arctic Circle. Follow along for training updates, gear tests, and probably a few moments of "what was I thinking?"

Sometimes the best adventures start with a simple decision to stop stalling and just say yes. Here's to facing fears, pushing limits, and embracing the extraordinary – one snowy mile at a time.
