Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Shane Kaiper #2629 Race: 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede Distance: 7.4 miles

Steady Pace Across the Hills Shane Kaiper from San Francisco participated in the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K Centipede event, representing the AA Alcoholic Avengers. Shane maintained a consistent early pace, clocking the first mile at 18:14. However, there was an increase in split times at miles 2 and 3 with paces of 32:19 and 33:50, respectively. The challenging section marked by Hayes Hill likely contributed to this variation. Shane's performance saw a notable rebound after the midpoint of the event. Particularly impressive was the last mile, completed in 12:52, marking the fastest split. Overall, Shane finished the 7.45-mile course in 3:29:26 with an average pace of 28:06 min/mile. Although the overall place was 1482 out of 1839, the strong finish from mile 6 onward indicates robust endurance. Future races could benefit from this experience in pacing strategy, particularly in the midsection of the route. Great effort and representation for the team!
