Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Erin Davidson #40403 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Steady Progress with a Strong Finish Erin Davidson's race was marked by strategic pacing and resilience. She completed the 12K Centipede in a time of 1:52:08, maintaining an average pace of 15:03 min/mile. Erin moved up significantly in placement from split 2 (362) to split 4 (305) overall among gender placements. Even after tackling the steep Hayes Hill, the pacing strategy remained solid as her splits show increased speed toward the final miles. Specifically, her first mile at 13:21 min/mile showed a strong start. She faced a challenging middle section, notably during miles 3 and 4, with paces of 17:26 and 16:28 min/mile. A notable performance occurred between miles 6 and 7, where she increased her pace to 14:12 min/mile and then 13:34 min/mile. Encouragingly, her team, Hella Baes Running, was likely an excellent source of motivation. Erin can focus on maintaining more even pacing throughout the entire 12K to enhance her future performances.
