Well if you are looking to do triathlons seriously, then I would recommend a road bike rather than a mtn bike, but if you just want to do a few triathlons for fun, then you would be okay w/a mtn bike--plus you would probably get more social use out of a mtn bike. As for men's body fat %, I could only guess that it would be somewhere around 4% or less for your elite athlete. And you should just give a triathlon a shot--they are a lot less intimidating than you would think--you could always start out with a sprint triathlon--they generally have really short swims and the run is usually only a 5 or 10k. Some day I would like to do an ironman length, but that will most likely be many years from now...I want to qualify for Boston first.
