Recovery, day 1: Across Hellen festning

Halfway through my Saturday hike in Sveio, it became clear that something was just not right. I did not have the normal energy level and even this relatively short hike was much harder than it ought to be. The flu-like symptoms increased during the evening and by the Sunday morning there was no doubt: this Easter holiday would not turn out as planed... Days of skiing in Sogndal were instead replaced by long days on the couch interspersed with nights of little to no quality sleep. The complete loss of smell and taste did not help either. Only after 4.5 days did I managed to muster enough energy to just barely push myself across Hellen festning.

    Dear Harald, please take care of you -- even though it must be VERY hard for you to sit still, I fear that it may not be wise to re-start (strenuous) hiking all-too-quickly. God bedring!!
