Warm start, adjust pace later

Runners will face a starting temperature of 65°F, rising to 72°F by the finish. With humidity at 72% and a headwind from miles 3 to 5, pacing adjustments will be necessary, especially in the middle segments. Light rain is possible, so gear considerations should include a light layer. Hydration will be crucial as temperatures rise, particularly in the later miles.
