Mission walkthrough

The bike race

Drive to Vespucci Beach with Jimmy and pick a bike at the rental stand. Race him along the boardwalk to the pier, keeping clear of walkers. Winning isn’t required.

Michael steps out of a black car at the beach bike rental spot while another man stays in the car.
Michael walks past the bikes outside Mr Spoke Bike Rental while a man in a dark jersey rides up on a bike.
Michael pedals a green bike down a sandy path, racing a rider in a red-trimmed jersey past people on foot.
Michael pedals a green bike along a sandy beach boardwalk lined with palm trees and a lifeguard station.

Swimming out

Jimmy tells you Tracey is on a yacht being filmed for TV. Jump off the pier and swim to the marked boat. Going underwater is quicker than staying on the surface.

Michael dives headfirst off the pier into the sea, with a yacht visible on the water ahead.
Michael swims underwater toward the yacht, with a Swim to the yacht prompt on screen.

The Seashark escape

After the party scene, Michael and Tracey take a Seashark. Freddy Slade’s friends chase and shoot at you. Head towards the outlet marked on the map, and run parallel to the shore to stay off the waves. Michael can return fire, but outrunning them works fine. Lose them, then beach near the pier to finish. This opens Triathlons.

Two riders on a white jet ski speed out across open water toward the coast, with the pier in the distance.

Gold Medal requirements

Do not fall off the bike. You do not have to win the race, so ride slowly and stay away from people and stairs. Swim underwater to reach the yacht within one minute. On the Seashark, lean forward and run parallel to the shore to avoid the waves that slow you down.
