Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Shannon Snell #13344 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Start, Strong Finish Shannon Snell from Berkeley maintained a steady pace at the beginning, clocking 15:49 minutes per mile for the first two miles, keeping consistent with her placing at 10634 overall and 1657 in her division. The timing on the first two splits demonstrates a solid start. However, Hayes Hill seems to have posed a challenge, as indicated by a noticeable pace drop in the third mile with a split of 32:34 minutes. From the fourth mile onward, there was steady improvement. The final splits show acceleration, especially between miles five and six where she improved to a 24:15-minute pace, suggesting a potential for a consistent performance with more hill training. Overall, Shannon completed the 12K race with a time of 3:20:09, placing in the top half for gender, and proving her capability to finish strong under challenging conditions. Future focus might be beneficial on hill endurance to further boost her results.
