What do you think - race format?

After watching the Olympics, I thought it would be fun to see a totally different race format:
100m swim,
1k bike,
400m run.
To remove the influence of transition time in such a short race, transition times will be fixed at, say five minutes. So you get out of the pool, and have five minutes to get to the next pad, ready to bike. You could put these on at any high school or college with a track and a pool as well, making organization much easier.
So reasonable times would be 60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 60 seconds. 3:30 total. It would probably take 3:00 to win (50, 1:20, 50). Since the events are so short, it could be done time-trial style, with one participant in each segment at a time.
Instead of Hackett, Cancellara, and <insert your favorite 10k pro>, the dream team would be Eamon Sullivan, Chris Hoy and LaShawn Merritt.
