Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Justin Nguyen #5008 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Pace with Opportunities for Strategic Adjustment Justin Nguyen completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede with an overall time of 3:18:09, maintaining an average pace of 26:35 minutes per mile. Notably, his time improved significantly between miles 3 and 4, indicating resilience and a capability to recover pace well after Hayes Hill, which starts at mile 2.2 and ends at 2.7. Despite challenges encountered during these splits, Justin effectively regained control and sustained consistent energy throughout the rest of the course. His position fluctuated during the race, starting at 1063 but experiencing a drop to 1419 by the finish line. Splits reveal some time-consuming segments, such as mile 5 with a split pace of 40:55 minutes per mile. Strategies might include a focus on maintaining a steady pace during uphill segments. Participating with team Past Our Peakers shows a strong community engagement, which could be leveraged to push the pace earlier in the race.
