Cebulan Backyard Ultra · 2026 — from Angelie Cabalo’s journal

Cebulan Backyard Ultra last week was one for the books. 🤎
26 loops •174KM•Last Woman Standing• 3rd Overall 🙌🏾
Another 100-mile effort done with my @columbiasportswearph Konos Speed Trail ATR. 🫶🏽

This race was fun,but at the same time every loop was a different kind of pain. Every loop is a battle.was real. 🥹

Honestly,when I joined this race, I had no plan to go far. I didn’t even bring a headlamp and had to borrow one. Good thing Team Kugi was there, and of course my two friends @miyaganda17 and @its.joyajoya who became my personal crew and stayed awake all night just to assist me with everything I needed. Grabe ka-thankful gyud ko ninyo.🫶🏽🫶🏽

At loop 16, I did my fastest pace because in my mind that was already my last loop. I was ready to stop because my knees were hurting and I still have upcoming races. I didn’t want to risk getting injured.

But RD @iiamjulieann refused to accept my withdrawal and didn’t give me my medal yet.😂 She told me, 1 more loop. And even my crew and Jom isa pa tapos e 25 loop na🫪😂
Then after that..another loop again and again until I reached 26 loops and became the Last Woman Standing and 3rd Overall. 🥹🙌🏾

I truly believe I wouldn’t survive this race without our Almighty Lord. Thank You so much for always giving me strength when my body wanted to quit already.🙌🏾🙏🏾🤎

To my crew, thank you so much. You know how grateful I am for all your help, patience, and support the whole night.
To everyone who cheered every loop, daghang salamat gyud. And to all the local kids along the course, thank you kaayo makawala jud mug LAAY💕

Sa akong mga nakasabay every loop, thank you sa mga storya, chikahan, and all the laughs while suffering together. It made the race even more memorable. 🫶🏽
