ECHO: Trace insufficiency - effect on high endurance physical activities?

[Ryan]

I had an ECHO done about 2 years ago... it found that I had trace/mild pulmonary regurgitation. Cardiologist reports that it is a normal finding and that it will likely never cause me any issues. I am currently training for my first triathlon. Is it possible that this could limit my performance in an ultra high intensity events such this?
