Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Tista Kapoor #40637 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Finish with Steady Improvement Tista Kapoor, representing Team Asha, maintained a steady pace throughout the 12K Centipede at the 2026 Bay to Breakers, finishing the 7.45-mile race in 1:52:56 with an overall pace of 15:09 min/mile. Notably, Tista maintained consistency in the first half of the race. At 2 miles, the pace was 15:27 min/mile, and this section coincides with the steep Hayes Hill, contributing to the slower 21:56 minute split between miles 2 and 3. Impressively, after the hill, Tista increased her speed, achieving her fastest split pace of 12:13 min/mile in the final mile. Overall, she improved her position from 844th at mile 1 to 664th by the final miles, showcasing an ability to strategically pace through challenging portions and finish strong. It would be beneficial to continue working on hill pacing to maintain consistent performance throughout challenging sections.
