Consistent Gains with Strategic Adjustments Justin Shallenberger maintained a steady performance across the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K, finishing with an overall time of 3:21:27, covering a distance of 7.45 miles. Starting with a strong 20:13 min/mile pace for the first mile, he experienced some challenges on the steep Hayes Hill between miles 2 and 3, reflected in a slower split pace of 30:48 min/mile. Despite this increase in effort, his position improved, moving up from 17195th to 14915th place overall by the midpoint. Notably, Justin exhibited a commendable recovery towards the race's end, significantly reducing his pace during the final mile to 21:32 min/mile. Consistency was evident as he maintained very close ranks within his division, finishing 2406th out of 24523 total participants. Areas to focus on for future races include maintaining momentum on inclines, as evidenced during the Hayes Hill segment. Excellent job, Justin, and keep building on this experience!
