Rain the whole way. I love long runs in the rain. when you look outside and for a split second your mind says "maybe not" and then your heart kicks your butt outside. Huge satisfaction.
These miles count for more than just the miles on the legs; they are miles of heart for when the going gets tough at the end of a race and you know what you have gone through to get where you are.
If you make pain and suffering a casual aquaintance and regular companion in training then when she shows up in those final miles you can say "Hey there old friend, good to see ya, how bout we finish this conversation at the finish line. See ya later!"
Comfortable cruise with some short accelerations from 18.5 miles to the finish.
