Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Charly Daovannary #40069 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Strong Start with Strategic Adjustment Charly Daovannary from San Francisco completed the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K in 2:19:19, averaging an 18:42 min/mile pace. He demonstrated a consistent start, maintaining an impressive sub-11:20 pace for the first two miles. His performance during the initial phase saw him securing position 292 overall and 128 among male competitors. Despite a significant rise to positions 1156 and 562 in the overall and male categories respectively during the challenging Hayes Hill stretch, he persisted through the course with determination. Post-hill, his pacing returned to below 23 minutes per mile, ending strong with a 9:43 pace in the sixth mile. This notable recovery shows potential for pacing adjustments when encountering elevated challenges. While his position settled at 1049 out of 1839 overall and 510 among males, his steady finish post-hill highlights effective strategy shifts. Future races could benefit from early hill-specific strategy practice to maintain initial pace buoyancy.
