had to keep the pace down to ensure enough energy for the run....would like to avoid this in the furture....the only way to do that is to do this once a month or so....it would help....

What would you do differently?:

need to run the long distance more...of course comming off knee problems did not help
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

my lack of running longer distance before the event...knee problems contributed to this but it always seems that something happens to mess up the running after BTG....

Event comments:

good race...does have a chance of the swim going south for the event ....twice in the last 5 years....but still was a great event
