Date: April 5, 2025 Participant: Olga Carvallo #2788 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles Weather: Chilly start. Heavy winds (tail/cross wind). Sunny at the finish.

Strong Start, Challenging Middle, Impressive Finish Olga maintained a consistent pace of 13:20 min/mile for the first two miles. She then faced Hayes Hill between miles 2.2 and 2.7, affecting her mile 3 split time of 16:15 min/mile. The hill likely contributed to the slower split pace of 27:50 min/mile in the fourth mile. Despite this dip, Olga's overall place improved significantly just after this mileage, affirming her strong determination and recovery skills. In the latter part of the race, Olga picked up the pace impressively. She clocked a rapid 11:12 min/mile for mile 6, which marks the fastest pace of her run. Olga's overall elapsed pace was 14:57 min/mile, finishing the 12K in 1:51:29. Her ability to regain speed in the closing miles is commendable. Future races might benefit from refining hill strategies to maintain consistency throughout.
