Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Beatrice Mihalache #11544 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Beatrice Mihalache from Los Gatos, CA, completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K with a total time of 2:05:19 and an average pace of 16:49 min/mile. Notably, Beatrice started strong with a 12:46 first mile. Although she encountered slower splits between miles 2 and 3, likely due to the challenging incline between miles 2.2 and 2.7 known as Hayes Hill, she maintained a consistent pace in the latter miles. In the second half of the race, Beatrice demonstrated determination, improving her split times to 16:05 min/mile at mile 5 and reaching a faster 12:56 min/mile pace for mile 6. Beatrice's position improved significantly at this point, boosting her overall position from 11313 to 8971. Great job adapting mid-race and maintaining a steady pace. For future races, consider strategies for managing early hills to conserve energy for the latter portions. Keep building on this strong performance!
