Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Douglas Stanford #40024 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Pace with a Strong Finish Douglas maintained a steady pace throughout the 12K Centipede event, starting strong with a 10:01 min/mile in the first mile. Notably, he powered through Hayes Hill between miles 2 and 3, evident from the 15:04 min/mile split, and recovered well post climb. This is a critical part of the race, and handling it effectively shows strong conditioning. In the latter half, Douglas picked up his pace, clocking 11:53 min/mile on mile 6 which is his fastest split after mile 1. He concluded the race with an overall time of 1:35:24 and an average pace of 12:48 min/mile, ranking 243rd in his gender out of 1839 total participants. His perseverance in the final miles demonstrates good endurance, though working on maintaining a more consistent pace across all splits could help improve his times even further. Keep focusing on those hill workouts for enhanced performance.
