If swimming wasn't the first event, I'd like my odds. I don't like the idea of swimming at the same time as the shark, even if eating your opponent is grounds for disqualification.
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.

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.

It depends on how many sharks and how many humans in the competition.
I would bet on you since sharks have very short legs
If a shark can play the drums well enough to be in a band, I wouldn't bet against a shark being a good cyclist.
Unfortunately it was the sharks 😔 the aerodynamics were too much to compete against
I would say "Sharks don't have long legs" because I'm an unapologetic nerd.
why?
I already told you; I'm an unapologetic nerd.
Keyword is "probably". If you've never seen a shark run, you can't be sure how fast they would actually be.
