Mild start, adjust pace mid-race

Runners will face temperatures starting at 55°F and rising to 64°F by the finish. Wind will be light from the W at 3 mph, not significantly affecting performance. With humidity at 51%, maintaining hydration is essential, particularly during the warmer mid-race miles from 4 to 16 where crosswinds and headwinds may pose a challenge. A throwaway layer may be helpful during the pre-race wait as it feels cooler.
