Strong Finish and Progressive Pacing Eric Yamzon from San Francisco demonstrated a commendable effort during the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede event. Covering a total distance of 7.45 miles in 2:20:45, Eric averaged an overall pace of 18:53 min/mile. A notable aspect of his performance was the steady beginning and end race with improving paces from Hayes Hill onwards. His initial mile was completed with a pace of 13:51 min/mile and he managed to pick up the pace to 13:26 min/mile by the second mile. After the challenging third mile on Hayes Hill, where the pace slowed to 41:42 min/mile, Eric demonstrated resilience with a strong recovery in the final mile, achieving an impressive 11:07 min/mile pace. Finishing 1057th out of 1839 participants, Eric's pacing strategy improved significantly after reaching the more technical sections of the course. This reflects a potential area for future focus on strength training for hills, to maintain more consistent splits early on.
