Final quality day. 3 x mile on the levee in the Vaporflys, 1:00 rests. This is only my 3rd run in them this cycle and it felt a little funky. I would have scheduled a couple more runs in them if the cycle were continuing, but I'm not too worried about it. They've felt great in my other races.
74F/73F dew point. 10 mph wind. Part of me is glad to be ending the cycle early so I'm not doing final marathon prep in the humidity.

I have a lingering side stitch that showed up last Thurs or Fri that I think will persist through Saturday's race. Reminiscint of the Rock n Roll Half from 2018. I'm going to do some breathing exercises and call my PT and see if they can do anything for it. But for now I'm prepping mentally to battle it through the race. It was irritating during the workout, but otherwise my legs are feeling pretty good.
