Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Carter Pierce #41133 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Start, Strong Finish Carter Pierce demonstrated steady performance with an overall time of 1:51:05 for the 7.45-mile "12K Centipede" at the 2026 Bay to Breakers. His consistent early pace of 11:53 min/mile was maintained through the first two miles, both clocked at 11:53. Notable challenges arose in the third mile, where the pace slowed to 24:18 min/mile, likely attributed to the ascent of Hayes Hill from mile 2.2 to 2.7. This split saw a drop in placement to 690th overall. However, Carter showed resilience in the subsequent segments, with each mile progressively improving. His last two splits were the fastest, clocking in at 14:24 and 14:17 respectively. From mile four onwards, his overall placement stabilized, finishing 797th among 1,839 participants. Continuing to refine hills and maintaining his impressive closing speed will strengthen his overall performance in future races. A solid effort from Team "Das kilt."
