Steady Performance Through Varied Terrain Matthew Abraham maintained a consistent pace in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede race, finishing with an overall time of 1:44:08 and an average pace of 13:58 min/mile. Starting strong with an initial mile of 8:57 min/mile, his split times varied, especially between mile 2 and mile 3, which included the steep climb up Hayes Hill, a challenging section that contributed to a slower split pace of 20:54 min/mile. After this, he gradually regained momentum, improving his split times in the latter half of his race. Despite the mid-race slowdown, his ability to maintain a steady pace in subsequent miles indicates good endurance skills. Notably, he improved his pace in the final splits, clocking in consistent 13:01 min/mile from miles 6 to 7. Participating as part of the Muni Run Club, Matthew showed solid running form, finishing 338th among males in a field of 1839 participants. Continuing to build on maintaining pace during climbs could further enhance his performance.
