note - I have the genes for running. One marathon in an Ironman (3:48). Tried for a BQ this year, but was injured and pulled out 10 miles in. I under-trained the run (three runs over 15 miles, but raced a few half ironmans in training) and did a lot of long bikes on an indoor trainer (3-4 hrs) with short runs after. When I got to the run, I felt fine and just paced myself. Most ironmans have aid stations every mile, so the last 10k, I walked the aid stations.
