Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Dalanna Nguyen #27779 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles

Steady Effort with Notable Determination Dalanna Nguyen maintained a consistent start in the first two miles, recording a 13:45 min/mile pace. The steep gradient of Hayes Hill saw a pace shift to 31:56 min/mile in the third mile; remember this hill's challenge next time. Following the hill, Dalanna's pace saw fluctuation, with splits at 27:34 min/mile and 32:13 min/mile through the fourth and fifth miles, respectively. This variation is quite common post-elevation and can be improved over time. Noteworthy acceleration occurred after mile five, where she clocked 14:15 and 13:27 min/mile in the sixth and seventh miles. This demonstrates excellent endurance and recovery post-challenge. Overall, she completed the 12K (7.45 miles) at an average pace of 26:09 min/mile. The completion time of 3:14:52 places her 9411th among 24386 participants, 2880th in her division. Maintaining strong pacing on uphill segments and integrating more hill training can support further improvements.
