From the sounds of it, you weren't feeling any real pain, just malaise. Correct? Not that you didn't notice it, but it wasn't anything specific to one area, right?
If that's the case, it's most likely just an off day. We all have them, just hopefully not on race day.
Back in the day, I'd have all sort of stuff about biorythms at my fingertips, but that coach is long gone, along with his hokey training theories.
Look at it as a single data point. You need more information to plot a line or a curve.
And try eating some bananas. They're the runner's cure-all.
