    Yeah, that’s what I was gonna say, I think it comes down to whether swimming is the first event. If it is, the shark wins (because I forfeit).

    Assuming we’re talking about an actually dangerous type of shark and not one of the many many harmless shark species.

      Swimming is always the first event in a triathlon because asking someone to swim 2.5 miles after having run a marathon or cycles 100+ kilometers is an incredible recipe for drowning.

      Just don’t splash too much and the shark won’t have any interest in eating you. If it does seem to want to come in for a nibble, hold your ground and forcefully push it down you when it comes close to check you out.
