Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Dragan Zupac #40283 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistency Despite Challenges During the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede event, Dragan Zupac achieved a strong performance with steady pacing. Starting off with a pace of 9:08 min/mile, Dragan maintained uniform speed over the first two miles. Encountering Hayes Hill caused a slight slowdown, resulting in a split time of 11:21 for the third mile. Remarkably, after this challenging section, Dragan increased their pace, clocking in 9:45 and 9:20 min/mile by miles six and seven respectively. Crossing the finish line with an elapsed time of 1:18:30 over 7.45 miles, Dragan maintained an overall pace of 10:32 min/mile. He placed 281st overall out of 1,839 participants and 130th among male participants. Dragan's pacing strategy, especially the acceleration in the latter miles, effectively improved his position from the temporary drop around mile four. Focusing on sustaining speed after uphill sections could keep building on this solid performance.
