Cool conditions, strong finish potential

Runners will face a cool start at 45°F, warming to 58°F by the end. Winds will be from the WSW at 7 mph, with gusts up to 18 mph, creating a slight headwind effect. Given the humidity at 69%, pacing should be conservative early to optimize performance in the later miles.
