Gradual Improvement Across Splits Adam Mendonca, representing the "Alpine Inn Please Sponsor Us" team, completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K race with an overall elapsed time of 1:38:31, covering a total distance of 7.45 miles at an average pace of 13:13 min/mile. Competing among 24,523 participants, Adam's final positions were 8,406th overall, 4,667th within his gender category, and 1,566th in the M30-39 division. The race began with consistent pacing in the first two miles, both recorded at 12:34 min/mile. The third-mile split of 15:44 min/mile showed a slower pace, potentially reflecting the impact of Hayes Hill's incline. Remarkably, Adam's pace improved significantly in the final two miles, with split times of 12:13 min/mile and 11:05 min/mile, respectively. This strong finish indicates successful energy management for a faster conclusion, although focusing on maintaining this improved pace earlier may enhance future results.
