Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Charlene Orr #41186 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Strong Finish with Quick Final Pace Charlene Orr had a well-paced race in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede, representing the Beanie Babes. Starting mile with an 11:44 min/mile pace, Charlene maintained a consistent performance over the race. She navigated Hayes Hill, between miles 2 and 3, in a slower split of 17:52, which affected her overall pace at that segment due to its steep elevation. Interestingly, Charlene regained momentum, notably during the final segment of the race, completing the sixth mile in 10:32 min/mile, marking her fastest mile. Finishing with an overall time of 1:37:09 and an average pace of 13:02 min/mile, Charlene placed 254th among female participants. Her capacity to quicken her pace in the latter stages demonstrates a strong ability to conserve energy and surge effectively towards the end. Continuing to work on maintaining steady splits over varied elevation will further enhance her performance.
