Steady Progress on Hayes Hill James Bultitude displayed consistent effort throughout the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede event. His early pace of 11:32 min/mile for the first mile showed a strong start. Hayes Hill, known for its steep incline, impacted pace notably, with a second split time of 20:19, but it's commendable that he maintained resilience. After conquering the hill, James made impressive progress in his overall standing, moving from 877th to 607th between miles two and three. This indicates a strong recovery and adaptation post-Hayes Hill. Although his pace generally hovered around 16:30 to 17:12 min/mile for the latter miles, his ability to sustain effort amid varying elevation is a highlight. His final position of 952nd out of 1,839 participants reflects the enduring spirit and teamwork of The Holy Wieners. Future races may benefit from focused hill training to tackle steep sections more smoothly.
