Warm start, adjust pace early

Runners will face a warm start at 67°F, rising to 71°F by the finish, with high humidity at 85%. A light headwind during Mile 9 may challenge runners, while a tailwind from Miles 20-22 will provide relief. Given the heat and humidity, pacing should be conservative, particularly in the early miles, to conserve energy for the latter stages.
