BiggD Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, it was rough. I was able to get first place, but luckily my thumb didn't hurt too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmankevin Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, that wasn't necessary R*! My first time I failed at 21 minutes. Imagine that fun! I hit a pedestrian and fell of my bike. Then he wanted to beat me up so he wouldn't let me get back on and leave. I tried to fight him but the game wouldn't let me. He killed me, I failed, and 21 minutes wasted. Good times!

StarDreamer99 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 This event caught me by surprise. I was 1st after the swimming, but fell 3 times while biking and thought I was screwed. Luckily the game adjusted its AI performance to mine and I managed to place 1st. I had to switch between my thumb and fingers with all that pounding. Perhaps, a better control scheme should have been implemented. As it is now, that marathon is ridiculously stupid all due to the sprint implementation chosen by Rockstar.

a fat turkey Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm amazed that I ended up in 1st on that race... Considering a pedestrian kept pulling me off my bike at one point for no reason (I crashed into a mailbox). The mashing A was pretty bad, but it was more boring than anything.

TheBorkinator Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 They took the realism of the triathlon to another level. I felt like I completed a triathlon after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeagy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I started the triathlon and figured out this was the half hour. I immediately quit. My thumb needs some training before I attempt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Defeat Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah the swimming part was easy, but it was the biking part that killed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I excer I Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 After about 20 mins of heavy button mashing I thought I'd take a nice shortcut with my bike. Ended up in a fenced yard without an exit. This challenge is still waiting for me. Not because it's hard but because I kept thinking "why the fuck am I doing this?"

BiggD Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah the swimming part was easy, but it was the biking part that killed me. Really? For me, the AI on the cycling section was dumb as fuck. I kept watching one or two contestants pass me...only for them to cycle right into the guard rail or a lamp post and fall off their bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happend to me man! Altho I just crashed in the supporters and killing one so instant fail. Well, I was playing with Trevor so that might be the reason....Franklin got it 1st try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomerang Cat Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Wow, 28 minutes is over the top. Is this Triathlon essential towards the 100% Game Completion Achievement? If it isn't I'll give it a miss and save breaking another Controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomerang Cat Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yes, it is required. Ok thanks McGoogles. It will be the time to plug in a nasty ass Madcatz Controller for this task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Hated the third triathlon, especially the part with the bike riders passing me even though I had unlimited stamina and I was mashing the A button like crazy. Completed it with Michael, would have to buy one of those controllers with a turbo button before even thinking of trying it for a second time with a different character.

Quid Squid Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was 1st at the very end and somehow someone passed me, was sure I got first but the final screen said 2/8...hell I'm lucky I got that I guess after falling twice on the bike (good thing I ran into the top 5 when I was getting to the end..put me back at 1 for the running). This is one gold I can do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O I Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 almost posted a thread on this the other day when I did it, it was so brutal, once I realized the swim was across the lake I knew R* was about to take the triathlon to a whole knew level and actually make it a real physical contest. I was going to try and do it without pausing but around 23 mins of tapping as fast as I could go, I literally had to take a break. But its cool that they did that, had no idea how fast those triathlons got out of hand. first one was like 8 mins, second 12 mins, third almost 30?! lol was still fun though. Thank God I got first, would never want to do that again. edit: and oh I shit my pants when I fell off my bike at the very end of the bike portion, thought I would lose it all just because of that 24 mins in!
