Mild 53°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 62°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 12mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. High humidity (93%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.
