Warming up, strategic pacing needed

Runners will face temperatures rising from 52°F at the start to 71°F by the finish. A light tailwind will assist during the early miles, but headwinds will emerge around Mile 10 and persist intermittently. With humidity at 52%, it's advisable to start conservatively and adjust pace accordingly, particularly in the later stages when the heat will be more pronounced.
