Comfortable temps, moderate wind

Starting at 61°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Moderate winds around 15mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 71% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.
