After my meniscus repair I decided to do fewer ultrarunning events and to incorporate triathlons.  I did do a handful of ultras those years, notably the Zane Grey 50 Mile in 2005.  I did Coeur d'Alene Ironman in 2004 and the Canada Ironman in 2005.

The knee felt pretty close to normal although it still did not feel 100% on marathon distance runs.
