3 of them to be exact.  You swim, bike and run (no transition area - but you do rip off your goggles and swim cap).  I dont think theyre USAT distances though as Im done in about 4 minutes.

BTW - the rest of the game is awesome too.

Biking and running in a wetsuit looks like it would chafe.

I would be curious if you can determine the distance and the splits and see how fast he is going.  I bet the paces are astronomical.  Video game distances/paces of course.  In GTA IV you could cross "Manhattan" in like 3 minutes...

Yeah, but can you buy a hooker mid race and does your bike rock with her on it?

Sure wish I could swim that fast and accurately without sighting!

I just had to drag my son out of the Vanilla Unicorn.  I was ok with him going in for a drink but I didn't want to have to explain private dances.

No,  but there is one guy who announces that he's 'leaving his wife for a triathlon chick' at the start of the race.

 

GTA does have stats with how much you've driven, rode, run, stole, visited strip clubs etc.  So I re ran the first race and here are *my* splits:

Swim .16 miles (280 yards) in 1m14s   (26s/100y)

bike .75 miles 1m09s  (39 mph)

run .25 miles  57 sec  (3:47m)

Cycling without a helmet? This game is outrageous and unsafe and will certainly lead to violent and reckless behavior!

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.
