Mild temps, strategic pacing required

Runners will face a temperature increase from 60°F to 62°F with high humidity at 84%. A light tailwind will aid during the first half, but a headwind will challenge runners from miles 14-23, requiring strategic pacing adjustments. Hydration is crucial; with humidity levels, runners should start conservatively and plan for regular fluid intake throughout the race.
