Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Denise Hernandez #40836 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Pacing with a Strong Start Denise Hernandez completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K event with a total time of 2:31:46, managing an average pace of 20:22 min/mile. Starting from San Francisco, Denise maintained a consistent performance throughout the race, particularly noteworthy was the initial mile split at 17:40, which set a strong foundation, placing Denise 1038th overall and 524th among females. Several splits show consistent efforts, with placements improving notably by mile 3. Specifically, after reaching 3 miles, Denise advanced to 816th overall. Hayes Hill, located between mile 2.2 and mile 2.7, might have influenced the slower pace observed between mile 2 and 3 (23:17 min/mile). Despite these challenging parts, post-Hayes Hill performance remained steady with no significant declines, demonstrating resilience. Building on this strong foundation and focusing on maintaining pace consistency, particularly in the middle segments, will be beneficial for future events.
