Steady Progress with Opportunities for Enhanced Pacing Sean Najmi participated in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K, representing the Beanie Babes team. Overall time was 1:37:11, with an average pace of 13:02 min/mile. The initial splits maintained a consistent pace of around 12:06 min/mile for the first two miles, well executed at an even rhythm. Sean demonstrated improved placement in the third mile despite a slower split, tackling Hayes Hill with a time of 16:10 for that segment, indicating awareness of conserving energy on inclines. Sean drew upon that energy conservation to improve speed in the race's latter stages. Notably, the sixth and seventh miles saw significant time improvements, with splits of 10:38 and 10:36, showcasing strong closing ability. It's worth considering strategies for handling the steep ascent of Hayes Hill as improving pace variation would yield potential time gains. Transitioning between different course segments was effective overall, paving the way to enhanced future performances.
