Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: William Holleran #1024 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Consistent Effort with a Strong Finish William demonstrated steady pacing throughout the 2026 Bay to Breakers race, particularly excelling with a final average pace of 5:53 min/mile. Notably, he started with a swift 5:41 min/mile for his first mile, maintaining that impressive speed. However, his pace varied slightly through the challenging Hayes Hill segment, as reflected by the increased split time of 6:43 min/mile between miles 2 and 3. He made a strong recovery in the latter portion of the race, clocking in a swift 5:35 min/mile for mile 6. His overall time of 43:53 and consistent pace throughout the race suggest strong endurance and strategic pacing. Maintaining this consistency while tackling more challenging segments like Hayes Hill can help in avoiding time loss. As part of the West Valley Track Club Men's A team, William's solid performance is commendable. Focusing on sustaining pace on inclines could yield even better results.
