Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Lyon Lay #40213 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Pace with Strategic Improvements Lyon Lay demonstrated consistent pacing throughout the race with a notable effort in maintaining performance. Starting with a solid first mile pace of 14:16, Lyon adjusted to a more sustainable pace of 18:34 in the second mile, which positioned him steadily in the mid-pack among male participants. This strategic pacing was important, especially as he navigated Hayes Hill between miles 2.2 and 2.7, where the split pace rose to 27:26; Lyon continued to push through with determination. Despite Hayes Hill's impact, his performance regained momentum post-hill as reflected by a more stable pace. By mile 6, Lyon improved his pace back to 23:39, showing a constructive adjustment from earlier. Finishing the race with an overall time of 2:50:03, his consistent improvement in maintaining a steady pace was a key takeaway. Further experience in hill running could enhance his performance in next events. Well done on a strong race effort!
