Final (?) Pacing Gig for 2025

I'm finally getting down to the Space Coast Marathon, which I've heard about for several years now, ever since I first met (and paced, spur-of-the-moment in what became a horrendous thunderstorm) one of my running friends (Laura, who has since become a pacer herself) at the Florida Marathon. While I'm confident in my ability to hit the time, I am not happy about the predicted conditions.

While the weekend itself looks like it will be comfortable for being out and about, and great for the spectators during the race, these temperatures are way too high for comfort for running a marathon.

And even worse when you look at the current hourly forecast.

With that temperature and high humidity, I'll be throwing lots of water over my head the whole time, to be sure. With good fortune, the clouds will mostly obscure the sun. At least it looks like the wind will be a cross-wind, rather than a headwind; so that might actually do a bit of a job in moderating our core temps.

Looking forward to wrapping this up (marathon #11 for the year (7th pacing this year), #92 overall) and then seeing Laura and her son Soren performing in a local production of Annie shortly thereafter -- should be lots of fun this weekend.
