Cool temps, mixed wind challenges

Runners will face a steady temperature rise from 59°F at the start to 63°F by the finish. Wind will be a factor, with headwinds during the early miles, shifting to tailwinds in the later stages. Given the high humidity at 86%, pacing adjustments may be necessary, particularly in the first half. Runners should prepare for crosswinds around Miles 2-3 and 7-12, impacting effort in those segments.
