Date: April 5, 2025 Participant: Siobhan McDonough #41235 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Distance: 7.4 miles Weather: Chilly start. Heavy winds (tail/cross wind). Sunny at the finish.

Consistent Progress with Remarkable Recovery Siobhan McDonough demonstrated impressive adaptability and resilience during the 2026 Bay to Breakers. Despite starting at a steady pace of 12:00 min/mile, the ascent on Hayes Hill influenced her pace, leading to a noticeable slow down to 20:52 min/mile in the third mile. However, this tough section didnt deter her overall performance; she adeptly recovered in subsequent miles, particularly notable with a strong 12:30 min/mile pace in Mile 6. Her ability to regain speed late in the race is commendable, moving her back up in the rankings, finishing 8022nd overall by Mile 6, which is a significant improvement from her lowest placement. Enhancing endurance and hill running could further develop her performance, considering the impact of elevation on her pacing. Keep utilizing your team support at Muni Run Club and continue focusing on pace strategies to maintain consistent splits across uphill sections. Great effort, Siobhan!
