Temperatures in the low 70s widway through the race were compounded with high humidity and a slight tailwind that kept runners in a moving envelope of body heat. Luff was part of a pack of five hitting 5k in 15:34. By the fourth and fifth miles, Luff, Hanson and Ban were all stuck in their own no-man's-lands.
