If you can't complete the run at the end of a triathlon, it could reflect several different things, including poor bike fitness. Nailing down where your strengths and weaknesses are in each discipline is key, especially what sort of performance you are capable of doing two events in a row. Comparing open run times (e.g. 5k or 10k) with triathlon run legs can help you narrow down where you need the most work. Hi John, thanks for bringing up a great point.

Perhaps they wouldn't have been able to complete the swimming or cycling legs if it were the last leg and they would have done just fine with running as an earlier leg of the Tri.
