Race Day Strategy
Start conservatively! Your predicted 3:30-3:45 finish means targeting 5:00-5:20/km pace. Go out at 5:15/km for the first half - you'll pass many runners in the second half.
Key Focus Areas
With your 78 readiness score and strong long run prep (81), your endurance is solid. Focus on nutrition: take gels at km 10, 20, and 30. Hydrate at every station but don't overdrink.
