You can use a fixie for whatever the hell you please.
Well, of course you can. I'm more interested in learning why you would. They sound like they're exceedingly tough to ride, and while I can see how that would be a benefit when you're in training for something (I would imagine that even a little hill climbing on a fixed-gear would give you thighs that could crack coconuts, and I can't imagine how much endurance improves as the result of not ever being able to stop pedaling), I'm not sure why you'd choose one for a triathlon. So, being curious, I asked.
