Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Dean Haley #40520 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Moderate Splits with Strong Finish Gains Dean managed a solid race pace with a total time of 3:15:50 over a 7.45-mile course at the 2026 Bay to Breakers. His average pace rested at 26:17 min/mile. Notably, Dean began the race with a sub-16-minute first mile, reflecting a strong start, particularly with a 15:58 min/mile pace for the first mile, placing him 545th in gender at that point. However, the second mile pace dipped noticeably to 23:59 min/mile, largely influenced by the steep Hayes Hill starting at 2.2 miles. As the race progressed, improvement was apparent with a significant acceleration in the last stretches. The final mile was completed in 26:20, which aided his finish position of 678th out of 1839 male participants. A continued focus on maintaining steady effort on ascents could further enhance his future results. Great job using changes in elevation to your advantage when descending!
