I didn't stretch, and maybe I should have thrown in some running, since I knew the run-up was there.

It's still pretty tight, but if there is no run-up tomorrow I might give it a try. I've got surprisingly full range of motion. There's just some combination of forces when I'm walking that's giving me shooting pain.

The smart thing would be to take the day off, but I've never been known for my wise choices and I hear tomorrow's course is supposed to be flat.
