How to unlock the Triathlete achievement

    For this achievement, you'll have to run 10.000 meters, ride 40.000 meters and swim 1500 meters. My personal suggestion is to make sure that you swim the 1500 meters, and then the 10km meter run and 40km ride will come as you continue in the game.

    If you do want to focus on it, do remember that while on your horse, you can hold A and the horse will run on its own, and you can set a marker on the map that your horse will follow if you press y after the horse goes on auto-pilot. I'd also recommend not running with your horse in a city, as it seems to run slower while in a city. I'd also recommend running in a low-level area, like Lake Mareotis or Siwa, since there's a smaller chance you'll be attacked by random soliders.

    As for the running, I recommend combining this achievement with the "Overheating" Achievement. Although you don't have to run around in the desert for this achievement, you might as well do it if you're going to be active on it. However, you'll be running a lot in this game anyways, so as previously recommended, just play the game and you'll easily get the 10km.

    EDIT
    As pointed out by adcustom in his solution for this achievement, riding a war chariot does NOT count towards the 40km.

    There is no reason why you can't get this by just working your way through the story. I unlocked shortly after completing 'The Crocodiles Jaws'.

    SWIMMING TIP: As this is the manageable number of 1500m, just keep a rough estimated of how many meters you've swam (If you're swimming towards an objective just take not of what the distance started at when you dived in, and finished at when you came out). I did it to 2000m to be safe

    RUNNING TIP: Any distance that is 300m or less I would run to. Takes a little bit longer but that way you know you're adding up towards the 10,000m.

    RIDING TIP: Finally ride anywhere that is more than 300m away. This map is huge and the story takes you to most of its corners anyway so racking up the 40,000m should just come with natural progression.

    Until you have this I would swear off fast travelling unless its across water and you know you already have your swimming metres.

    This will unlock at random times for random people depending on what you had left to do. For me it was the riding. Once you've ticked all three boxes the achievement will pop.

    BOOSTING HINT: Asides from the obvious rubber band trick, for the riding portion you can set yourself a waypoint on the farthest corner of the map connected to your land mass hold cn_A to make Bayek follow the road and walk away.

    Let's keep cheevin' together!

    Hope this helps someone, who like me, played the game for a million hours and still didn't unlock this. Riding a War Chariot does NOT count towards the riding total. I had been using a War Chariot since as early in the game that I could get it (since it was faster), but you must ride or horse or camel to get this cheevo.
