Cool start, warming up gradually

Winds will be light, averaging 9 mph from the W, with gusts up to 26 mph, but should not significantly impact performance. With humidity at 71%, it's advisable to start conservatively and stay hydrated, especially as temperatures climb during the later laps. Pre-race conditions may feel as low as 39°F, so a light throwaway layer could be beneficial.
