Date: April 5, 2025 Participant: Clark Li #26790 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles Weather: Chilly start. Heavy winds (tail/cross wind). Sunny at the finish.

Consistent Start, Strong Finish Clark Li maintained a consistent pace initially with splits of 14:41 and 13:29 in the first two miles. Notably, at the third-mile mark, which included Hayes Hill, the split time increased to 18:13. This section reflected increased effort, yet Clark still climbed over 2000 places overall, moving from 9754 at the second mile to 7749. The fourth mile saw a slower pace at 29:47, which could indicate a recovery phase post-Hayes Hill. However, Clark finished impressively strong, reducing the split pace significantly in the final miles with a 9:00 split for the sixth mile and 9:05 for the seventh. Additionally, his overall pace of 16:34 min/mile is commendable. Keeping up the pace after the steep incline and improving the positions in the race is a noteworthy achievement. Future improvement could focus on maintaining a consistent pace in the middle miles post-hill.
