You should consider doing a Sprint Triathlon as 3 person RELAY TEAM. ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS RIDE THE BIKE after your team mate completes the SWIM and then after you complete the BIKE portion, another team mate does the RUN.
IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE........This is fun......without being the serious Triathlon participant......If you wanna compete....talk is cheap!
Even though the RELAY TEAMS are the 2nd Class Citizens at such triathlons, the competition is there and you know what......your bike portion TIME will be compareable against all others' cycling times as you'll ride the same course........my bet is you aren't as good as you think are.....but talk is cheap and this is a great way to have fun and see just how you might stack up with others.
The Really Cool Thing About RELAY TEAM in these Sprint Triathlons IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE ANYONE, male, and female, YOUNG and OLD.....however you want to mix the makeup your team. Anything you want....... Heck if you're gonna have three twentysomething worldclass superstars in swim, bike , and run..........you're doing it wrong because realistically if you and your members are world-class then you should step up and take the challenge and do the TRI and not simply the Relay Team, but thats your call. IT IS A FUN WAY TO ENTER A TRIATHLON FOR PERSONS THAT OTHERWISE CANNOT or WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY DOING ALL THREE !!!
It is more friendly and fun than SERIOUS for most RELAY teams, WHICH IS WHY RELAY TEAM PARTICIPANTS are 2nd Class Citizens of the tri world. They respect the RELAY TEAM participants much in the same way that say the oldtimers baseball game with retired hall of famers at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Dodger Stadium or at Wrigley Field. It's somewhat cool but it ain't the big time.

Obviously it might be 2022 or very late 2021 before Covid-19 is mitigated with enough vaccinated people in the USA such that events like these can return, but even if it takes until 2022, you can bet these triathlon events will just as fun. The RELAY TEAM is the way to go if you wanna do the BIKE portion only....
Heck you can likely find a good SWIMMER in your immediate family and I am sure that there is probably another family member or friend or son-in-law or your grand-daughter who is a good RUNNER......................bingo you just formed a team.....................Then all you gotta do is give your team a cool team name!
It's not like you're gonna be doing the Tour de France or trying to get on the US Olympic team.........................Just like a golfer in a tournament, your TIME in the Bike portion will be exactly compareable just as a golfer's score during the tournament as every player plays the same course on the same day-------so even if you're on a RELAY TEAM, you can compare your bike time with those of the SERIOUS folks who compete in the real tri doing all three events.
You'll enjoy it. Just do it!
