Triathlons are the race from This Ain’t Checkers, made repeatable. Walk through the starting sign and you are lifted into the sky by helicopter with a parachute. Each race has three legs: skydive onto boats waiting in the water, race the boats to a beach, then finish in a supercar loaded with nitrous.
Rules
- Any wanted level is cleared when the race starts.
- There are three opponents, and they all jump before Luis does.
- You can pick any of the prepared vehicles, but once you choose one you can not swap it for another or for a car from traffic.
- If you leave your vehicle before the finish or the next switch point, you have ten seconds to get back in.
- You may damage the other racers’ vehicles, but killing a racer or destroying their vehicle disqualifies you.
The boats are a Blade, Floater, Jetmax and Smuggler. The cars are a Bullet GT, Comet and F620.
The three races
Normandy, Alderney
Jump over the Alderney coast and land in the river. The boat leg runs along the shoreline, and the car leg finishes in Alderney City by way of the Plumbers Skyway.
Charge Island, Dukes
Jump over Charge Island by the East Borough Bridge, race the boats through the channels around it, then take the car through Dukes to the finish by Meadows Park.
BOABO, Broker
Start at BOABO, race the boats up the East River at night, and finish the car leg in Algonquin.
Tips
- Open the parachute early and steer straight onto a boat’s deck. Landing in the water costs you seconds swimming.
- Take the fastest boat you can reach, and stay in the middle of the pink checkpoint gates.
- Save the nitro for straights. Using it into a corner usually ends in a wall.
- Bump the leading cars in the car leg if you need to, but do not wreck them.
