We’re about a month out from Beyond Light and I wanted to share here what I’ve been talking about on stream for the past month.

I won’t be participating in the World First race this year

It’s been a very hard choice to make but this year has highlighted my need to take care of myself and stop ignoring my limitations.

Many of you might not know that I have Crohn’s disease and that it effects my life daily with pain and discomfort nearly every time I eat

I got diagnosed at 16 and really just tried to ignore it until I ended up needing emergency intervention multiple times this year

The key contributing factors to this are stress, lack of sleep and diet

Essentially the 3 things that are 100% gonna happen during the WF race

Along side of this I’ve taken on more responsibility at @RareDropCo and cannot simply check out for a week to compete and then however many subsistent weeks are needed for recovery.

The past 5 years of racing and raiding with the team has been some of the best times ever

I’m looking forward to checking out the content at my own pace and enjoying the raid when I’m ready!

The team will still be together and I’m sure they’ll let you know who’s replacing me once they’ve got it figured out

Thanks for reading and thanks for being part of my life https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
