Consistent Pace with Strong Mid-Race Performance Laura Griffiths, representing the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K with a final time of 1:12:40 and an average pace of 9:45 min/mile. Across the 7.45-mile course, her placement was 2251st overall. Notably, she improved by 15 positions in her division (F50-59), with a final standing of 39th out of all participants in this category. Laura started with a consistent pace, maintaining an average of around 10:07 min/mile for the first two miles before tackling Hayes Hill, which led to a slower third mile. Laura demonstrated a significant pickup in pace after Hayes Hill, achieving her fastest splits in the fifth and sixth miles at 9:43 min/mile and 8:43 min/mile, respectively. The ability to increase speed as the race progressed shows potential for enhanced performance in future events. Overall, her steady pace and capacity to recover post-incline suggest she can focus on maintaining energy levels consistently throughout different race segments.
