Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Chirathma Kodikara from Campbell, CA, displayed a strong start in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K. In the first two miles, she maintained a steady pace of 15:36 min/mile, positioning herself 437th among female participants. Her performance on Hayes Hill, which spans from miles 2.2 to 2.7, saw her pace slow to 18:09 min/mile, showcasing a need to focus on hill training to maintain consistency. As she advanced past the halfway mark, her pace gradually decreased. Between the fourth and seventh miles, her split pace ranged from 23:33 to 25:13 min/mile. Her overall elapsed time was 2:33:39 for a 7.45-mile race, placing her 581st among all female participants. As a member of the team "Machan We Thought This Was a Pub Crawl," maintaining an even pace in latter stages, especially in the flat areas post-Hayes Hill, could be a good focus for her future races.
