Are you on a taper or training straight through? I generally fell like crap the first few days of taper and as the body repairs itself....by race week feel like a million bucks.
See how it goes, and use it as a learning experience. If not recovered by Sat., which I think you will be, build in some more time in the taper next time. The plans don't know our bodies, and it's in these places that we learn to self-coach.. Through experience here over the years and our bodies' responses is how we refine this training and and dial it in. Let us know what you think in the end! All the best in the race. We'll be cheering!

If it makes you feel better, I have felt a little heavy-legged myself the last few days. Last year though, prior to my Rhode Island 70.3, I had the same thing (I guess it is just part of the taper) and come race day I felt like a pinned up horse...meaning, when the gun went off, I was ready to rock! My guess is when you hop into the water tomorrow for your swim reacon and and your last little bike ride you will knock off the dust and you'll be ready to go...that's what I am hoping I feel as well!
Good news - forecast is now 79/61 with only a 20% chance of rain...so, we're all set for an awesome day!
Bring it on NOLA!
Normal feeling, just take it easy and as stephen say come race day you will be ready to rock it.
