Consistent Gains Despite Hayes Hill Challenge Tracy Dai completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K with a total time of 1:34:34, representing LinkedIn. Throughout the race, she maintained an overall pace of 12:41 min/mile. Tracy's most notable performance was between miles 2 and 3, as she tackled Hayes Hill. This split produced her slowest segment at a 15:02 min/mile, likely due to the hill's elevation gain. However, her determination was evident, as she improved her pace in the subsequent miles. Her ranking within her division improved from 914th at mile 1 to 661st by the 3-mile mark. Post-Hayes Hill, Tracy's speed notably picked up, evident from her quickest split coming in mile 5 at 12:01 min/mile. Tracy's focus on maintaining her form post-hill was impressive, especially as she regained several places in her overall and division rankings. For future races, continuing to build strength on inclines could help improve split times during hill segments.
