are olympic tri distances skewed towards runners?

just registered for my first tri and the swimming and cycling distances look relatively short compared to the run - not in terms of time but just general effort.

does a runner feel similarly about a 6 mile run as a cyclist feels about a 25 mile ride? like you'd get a response like "6 miles? yeah that's my short loop really - i hardly ever do less than 6 miles and i don't even need to stretch aftwards really unless i push myself."

.. because i can imagine a swimmer saying that about the 1.5k swim and i could say that about the bike and i'm relatively slow compared to most folks here.

just curious.
