Cool start — fast day potential, rain likely

A cool 46°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temperatures rising to 55°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Rain is likely — waterproof your phone and bib, and consider a disposable poncho for the corral. High humidity (87%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
