Grand Theft Auto 5 - Single Player Racing Series #03 (Triathlon)
Although in last Racing Series I say it will talk about Off-road and Sea Race, but Triathlon also related about Racing and I have written more information so I decide to make it first.
Triathlon is a new activity in Grand Theft Auto V. It is a multi-sport Race - Swimming, Cycling and Running similar in Reality, but compare to reality is a lot shorter.
There are total of 3 Triathlon in Single Player, 2 of them are short, the final one is very long.
Triathlon 1: Vespucci Canals Triathlon
(From: Rockstar Social Club)
This Triathlon set in near Airport, just outside the Los Santos Custom, and should take about 3 - 4 real minutes to finish.
For the first Triathlon the hardest should be "Cycling" Part. In cycling, there are some sharp turn, so if you are in high speed you may crash any roadblock like pole or something and you may fall down from your bicycle, that can make you lose some time and fall behind.
Also, the catch up feature is active and your opponent can pass you or very close to you at some point. If they pass you, don't care about it, try your best to keep the distance and pass them in Running Part.
In running part when you going up in the road if you find that you are running slowly, try using jump, that can help you save a little bit time.
Triathlon 2: Alamo Sea Triathlon
(From: Rockstar Social Club)
This Triathlon set in east side of Alamo Sea, north-east side of Trevor House.
Another short Triathlon, just slightly longer than the first Triathlon. This Triathlon should take at least 3.5 minutes to about 5 minutes.
This Triathlon have some short-cut in cycling part and mostly same height, except at the beginning there have a small hill. You can use the short-cut for little advantage and finish the race a little bit faster.
Again, catch up feature is active, so your opponent can pass you anytime, just keep your speed, you should be able to pass him again at the beginning of Running part. Running Part is not long.
Triathlon 3: Coyote Cross Country Triathlon
(Swimming and Cycling[part], From: Rockstar Social Club)
(Cycling and Running, From: Rockstar Social Club)
This Triathlon set in south of Alamo Sea, North west side of Trevor House.
The longest, hardest, most Painful Triathlon in this game. I say it Painful is because you have to hit the same button over and over for at least few thousand time, not just hurt the button but also your hands...
Another Painful and hardest thing is in Cycling Part the "Catch up" feature is crazy... You can't hold your position easily, and if you crash, you can loss a lot of time and fall behind or restart from beginning.. Also your opponent could lead a lot more near the last part of cycling. I crash twice in cycling part for not being careful!
This Triathlon normally will take at least 25-30 real minutes to complete, swimming take about 7-8 minutes, cycling take about 14-16 minutes and the running take about 4-6 minutes to complete it, so cycling is the longest part of this triathlon.
If you try want to complete it without hit the leaderboard, don't non-stop hitting the same button or your hand can very tired, or course you can take a break if you are not recording the race like mine, otherwise like I say - Painful!
Tips:
1. Try to maximum your character Stamina to 100 / 100 before you attempt Triathlon, this can help you a lot, especially final Triathlon since it take a lot of time to complete.
And I have recorded the video for all Single Player Triathlon.
For specific Triathlon:
Vespucci Canals Triathlon - 0:00
Alamo Sea Triathlon - 4:22
