Steady Progression with a Strong Finish Gabriel demonstrated a steady improvement in his pacing throughout the 12K Centipede race at the 2026 Bay to Breakers. Starting with an 11:30 min/mile pace for the first mile, his performance on Hayes Hill (2.2 to 2.7 miles) showed a deceleration to a 20:23 min/mile pace, understandable given the challenge. However, he regained momentum with a noticeable surge during the last mile, where he recorded an impressive 11:10 min/mile pace, contributing to a finishing time of 1:50:29. Maintaining a consistent effort, Gabriel finished 766th out of 1839 participants overall, and 377th in his male gender category. While there was a dip in pace on Hayes Hill, the significant rebound in the latter milesespecially the faster final mileillustrates potential for future races by strategizing early pacing efforts and hill climbing tactics. His ability to regain pace should be a focal point moving forward.
