Eisenhower 10K
Race Day Weather
Cold start — layer up, big temp swing
Runners will start in chilly 31°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 61°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Reviews & Race Reports
Struggled with heat and wind, but still secured a BQ.
The biggest concerns are wind from the north or south as the majority of the race is run that direction as well as sun/heat as there is very little shade. I felt pretty good about my fitness for a sub-3:00, but knew if the weather was against me, I’d need to adjust. I hit the half in 1:29:48, right on target. This was probably the lowest part of the race. Wanted to drop so bad, but I knew if I held on, I should have a decent BQ in case this fall didn’t work out.
Struggled with wind on the first loop but stayed on pace.
The wind was directly out of the south which meant the first 2 miles of each loop would be rough plus a 0.5-mile section later in the loop. I decided to go with a pace band from www.findmymarathon.com which is course specific. It accounts for the elevation when giving the pace split. I also set it to even effort with a conservative first two miles.
