Comfortable temps, chance of rain

Mild 50°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 59°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. There's a chance of rain, so have a backup gear plan ready. Moderate humidity at 67% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
