Light rain likely

Comfortable temps, moderate wind, rain likely

Mild 52°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Moderate winds around 15 mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral. High humidity (81%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
