rich because this is what the last 2 minute of my first ultra sounded like 🥹🥹this may not have been the race we expected (turns out no perfect training program, fuelling strategy, recovery and preventative plan could ever prepare you for the sinus congestion you had all race leading to 8.5 hours of unwavering headaches during the most technical race of your life OOPS).I truly couldn’t have done it without every person (friend and stranger) who believed that I could do it, even (and especially when) I didn’t believe that I could.And to my partner @macjlbradley who has been my rock this entire training block, to the start of this race, to every aid station (that he was allowed to be at), to the literal last second (and carrying me through the deadly post-race concussion aftermath)— no words can describe what an honour it is to be supported, cared for, and to be loved by you 🥹💛thank you to everyone who has cheered me on (and messaged me!) before, during, and after — your encouragement and belief has not gone unnoticed, and as my brain slowly returns to my body today, I promise to share my love directly💌until then, love you all so much, and thank you for believing in me 💐💖xx Char by @charissalandicho

I’m calling this ✨radical self-belief✨Because what do you mean when my body shut down in 2022, 4 years later she’d be running her first ultra??This is not only a testament to meeting my body where it’s at, listening to her and giving her what she needs — but the power of a shift in narrative.When my body shut down, it was hard not to think and grieve what I couldn’t do. I’ve learned that sometimes you need to be pissed off enough to do something about it.And in that frustration I found a determination — to rewrite what I thought was possible for me, and rewrite what was important to me (read: my *why* behind why I do what I do).I had to be creative, curious, compassionate and open — that maybe it wouldn’t look like how I expected, and definitely doesn’t look like how *others* are doing it. But heck— I’m out here DOING THE DAMN THING. This is a love letter — to all the versions of me that struggled, cried, and doubted — and celebrate that one of my greatest gifts is how damn determined (read: stubborn) we are to always find our way through — while taking care of *her*. 💌 by @charissalandicho

so training for the @rbcgranfondo Whistler is no joke (seriously), and ever since I signed up I’m constantly reminded that it’s a ✨climbing gran fondo✨yes, I do indeed have that dawg in me, but this dawg was still very intimated climbing steep hills.and the best way to conquer them? practice (yes) and (thankfully) a handful of game-changing tips that I’ve learned from the coaches at @sportmedbc and you know what, I think I might actually(?) like(?) climbing(????)enjoy this cheeky lil scroll of what I’ve learned so far that’s helped build my hill climbing confidence ☄️ by @charissalandicho

A love letter to the sports that reminded me just how capable I am 💌These days it can feel like everyone is running, cycling, racing, levelling up — it can be easy to forget our ✨why✨— the reason, intent, and inspiration behind why we choose to take on these big audacious goals.For me, endurance sports have been a huge part of shaping the favourite parts of who I am today. And it’s these exact moments that keep me going:✿ it’s a constant reminder that I can do hard things — and more specifically set goals that feel humorously out of reach, and continue to commit to the goal because I relentlessly believe I can✿ it’s a space where I can continue to heal my relationship with food — to feel continuously empowered by the incredible feats that are possible when we are fuelled, nourished and rested ✿ it’s a space where I’ve reclaimed my body as my own, and able to rewrite the narrative of what I once thought possible✿ it’s a space where I can celebrate the evolution of my own health — how far we’ve come, and how I view my body, move my body, fuel my body, has shifted in ways that prioritize longevity, play, and feeling at home in my body endurance sports are pretty darn cool, and I can’t wait to see what more adventures we go on ❣️ by @charissalandicho

Tuesday hang with the gals (to climb SFU + Centennial 🙂‍↕️)Week 3 of the Fondo Clinics with @sportmedbc training for my first @rbcgranfondo !This week we focused on longer sustained climbs:✿ finding a pace and an approach to the middle hills that saves energy for the final climbs, ✿ finding the cadence we can hold and practice efficiency in our gear shifting, ✿ and (especially important for me) finding and maintaining a relaxed upperbody while maintaining a consistent power from my lowerbody The RBC GranFondo Whistler is a ✨climbing✨ Fondo, which means building my endurance, experience and confidence climbing long hills is a key focus in my training.Today’s objective also led to other important event day simulation: riding an unfamiliar route, and as Coach Jennifer says, practice “being on a long climb that feels never ending and ✨not✨ wishing you were somewhere else” 🤪Because “nothing new on race day” means practicing the distance, the effort, the fuelling, and especially the self-talk if (when!) things gets hard and uncomfortable. Doing hard things alongside others who are also nervous (and eager) to accomplish the hard things, makes the scary and daunting a little less scary and daunting 🤍✨ Ps special love to my @samsaracycleclub Endurance Bibs and Jersey for keeping me comfortable the entire climb, and warm on the descents (ps the new Verde colour is as beautiful in real life btw!!)#Project30by30 by @charissalandicho
