GTA V — Mary Ann
Mary Ann is a very competitive woman that partakes in various human endurance races including running, cycling, and triathlons. She’s a bit of a nutcase which makes her ideal to Trevor.
Protagonists: Michael, Franklin, Trevor
Rewards: None
Exercising Demons — Michael
Michael finds a woman — named Mary Ann — stretching next to a fence in Del Perro. From the start it’s obvious she may not be a little right in the head. Mary Ann is quick to inform Michael that she doesn’t want to sleep with him and that it’s okay for a 39-year-old woman to be single. She’s not stressed at all and about to take a run. She could beat Michael in a race but Michael informs her that he was an All-State quarterback in high school. Mary Ann doesn’t care.
As soon as Michael starts moving you are put in control with the race already begun. Race Mary Ann by sprinting through the markers along the paths down to the beach. When you finish Mary Ann and Michael will have a short conversation about the results. Mary Ann says she is training for a triathlon and takes off on a bicycle.
Tips
- It is a good idea to increase Michael’s stamina before starting this mission.
- To complete the race without cheating you can’t get off the paths very far. You can cut over the grass a little near the beginning and use the rocks next to the first set of stairs to avoid them slowing you down.
- You may want to jump down stairs to go a little faster. Niko’s slow stair movements are residual in GTAV.
- If Mary Ann gets next to you try to use pedestrians as blockers to keep her behind.
Objectives
- Contender — Win the race without using shortcuts.
Exercising Demons — Franklin
Franklin finds a woman — named Mary Ann — doing push-ups out on the peninsula southwest of Paleto Bay.
She tells Franklin to stop looking at her ass — which he kind of wasn’t but is definitely looking now. She continues to put words in Franklin’s mouth and says she’s getting ready for a triathlon. Mary Ann’s assumptions about Franklin get him mad enough to compete against her. Mary Ann will take the challenge.
The two start running and you are put in control of Franklin. Follow Mary Ann and swim across the bay. When you reach the shore and finish line you are told to get on a bike. Do so and cycle through the trail (which isn’t a completely established path, the route just snakes around various parts of Paleto Bay). When you get on the marked roadway look out for vehicles coming towards you and then a stunt jump over a broken wood bridge. Reach the next finish line and Franklin will dismount. Now run the rest of the route. When you finish Mary Ann and Franklin will have a short conversation about the results. Mary Ann then takes off on a bicycle.
Tips
- It is a good idea to increase Franklin’s stamina before starting this mission.
- There aren’t too many places to cheat but stay on the path (when available) as much as possible.
- Watch out for an SUV driving down the road near the broken wooden bridge.
- You need to use a bunny hop to make it over the broken bridge.
- If Franklin runs out of stamina beyond the bridge you should have enough health to finish first.
Objectives
- Champion — Win the race without using shortcuts.
Exercising Demons — Trevor
Trevor finds a woman — named Mary Ann — yelling at a male bicyclist near the Vinewood sign. The man attempts to reply but Mary Ann prevents him from saying anything. Apparently the two have been in some kind of emotional relationship for a week. Mary Ann rants about it and eventually says she wishes he was dead. Trevor then steps in with a helping fist. With the man down, Trevor proclaims his love for Mary Ann. She calls him a psycho saying the man was going to impregnate her eggs via surrogate (since Mary Ann doesn’t want to get fat from pregnancy).
Trevor says she’s the craziest chick he’s ever met and thinks they are made for each other but Mary Ann tells him to prove it on the bike. She takes off on one bicycle leaving Trevor with another.
When Trevor starts moving you are put in control. Race Mary Ann through the checkpoints along the paths. You’ll end up switching between dirt paths and roads. The race ends in a park after going through a porta potty structure. When you finish Mary Ann and Trevor will have a short conversation about the results. Mary Ann then takes off on her bicycle.
Tips
- It is a good idea to increase Trevor’s stamina before starting this mission.
- You shouldn’t have too much of an issue with angering Mary Ann. Try not to ram her or move into her too much. Wait for a good opportunity to pass her or cut a corner.
- If Mary Ann gets next to you try to use pedestrians if possible as blockers to keep her behind.
Objectives
- Good Cyclist — Don’t anger Mary Ann by cycling into her.
- Quick Win — Win the race within 01:42.

The Greatest Characters In Grand Theft Auto 5
Since the third Grand Theft Auto game, the series has continually provided interesting and entertaining characters. The ones in GTA 5 might be the best in the series’ history. It helps that there is a lot of them.
RELATED: Awesome Side Missions Everyone Missed In Grand Theft Auto V
For starters, there are the three protagonists and the main story’s supporting players. On top of that, the Stranger and Freaks missions introduce you to a bunch of other people. And lastly, you can meet random individuals around Los Santos. So when it comes to characters, GTA 5 certainly has quantity. Thankfully, the game’s main cast has quality, too. The following individuals are the best example of that.
8 Mary-Ann Quinn
For some people, exercise is a great way to de-stress. However, it doesn’t seem to work for Mary-Ann Quinn.
This fitness fanatic is irrationally angry all the time and berates Michael and Franklin before they give her a reason to do so.
Her fury isn’t her only personal quirk, though, as she has several others, including her tendency to reveal way too much personal information without being prompted. As with many GTA characters, she’d be horrible to meet in real life, but she is hilarious in a video game setting.
7 Lester Crest
Lester is an important part of GTA 5’s main story as he’s the man who usually sets up the elaborate heists for Micheal, Franklin, and Trevor. He excels in this role due to his incredible intellect and eye for detail. And it’s very likely that the others wouldn’t have a chance of pulling off many of their jobs without his help.
So, he is essential to the story, but he’s more than that. The guy is a continually captivating individual, whether he’s ranting about Lifeinvader founder Jay Norris or doing some social commentary on various topics.
6 Wade Hebert
The characters in Grand Theft Auto 5 aren’t the most sympathetic bunch, yet it’s easy to feel sorry for Wade Hebert. The poor guy is continually mistreated and manipulated by his best friend, Trevor.

Thankfully, it doesn’t bother him too much as Wade isn’t the smartest guy around. In fact, he seems to have the mind of a child. His innocence and positivity are refreshing, though, as it’s a stark contrast to the cynicism the other characters display. Plus, his childlike behavior leads to some funny moments.
5 Lazlow Jones
Lazlow is one of the most prominent characters in GTA history as he’s one of the few to appear in multiple games. He usually just serves as a voice on the radio. But in GTA 5, you meet the man in person on several occasions.
At this point in his career, he’s an aging celebrity trying desperately to stay relevant despite not having any talent — in his own admission.
As such, he’s the sort of character you laugh at instead of with, particularly as he gets publicly embarrassed multiple times throughout the game. You would feel sorry for him if he wasn’t also a sleaze.
4 Franklin Clinton
Out of the three protagonists, Franklin is arguably the most likable. This is because he isn’t as angry or violent as either Micheal or Trevor. In fact, compared to most of the people in the game, he’s a normal, well-adjusted guy who’s just trying to better his life.
Admittedly, his life goals revolve around being a better criminal who steals more money. So, his ambitions aren’t the most morally righteous, but if they were, he wouldn’t be a GTA protagonist. The fact he’s one of the least bizarre people in the game leads to plenty of hilarious moments, as his reactions to the odd characters are always comical.
3 Michael De Santa
GTA protagonists usually fit a certain mold. Yet, Michael is different from all the others because he’s a family man who tried to leave his criminal life behind.
As a result, he has a more engaging arc than either Franklin or Trevor, as he attempts to keep his family together while partaking in some heists.
RELATED: Ranking Every Grand Theft Auto Game From Worst To Best
His plotline, along with his narcissism and guilty conscience, makes him a fascinating character. On top of that, he often delivers some powerful words of wisdom, which are among the best quotes in the game.
2 Lamar Davis
Lamar is introduced as Franklin’s best friend very early into GTA 5. Within those first few hours of the game, he delivers a litany of memorable lines. Whether he’s insulting Franklin’s «yee-yee a** haircut» or complaining about not being the employee of the month, he steals every scene in which he features. And he is one of the most outrageous individuals in the entire series.
His role is to be a comic relief character and serve as a negative comparison to Franklin, showing that the protagonist is more grounded than the people around him.
Lamar succeeds on both counts.
1 Trevor Phillips
To put it bluntly, Trevor is among the biggest loose cannons in the history of video games. He is a ruthless killer who sees himself as a serious businessman. And he routinely threatens and mistreats the people around him just for his own amusement. In fact, most of the chaotic things he does are just for his own sick enjoyment. So, he sounds like a truly evil villain.
But in the context of GTA 5, he’s a protagonist and an entertaining one. Pretty much everything he says and does is so ridiculous that you can’t help but laugh. Plus, most of GTA 5’s memorable moments involve him in some way.

If anything, at the finish line (on the alley near the house of psychologist Michael) it will be possible to add, and bypass the unlucky athlete.

Trevor runs into Mary Ann right at the moment when she lashes out at her boyfriend and literally falls in love with a woman. As a result, a bicycle race begins, which you need to win, and even in the limit (less than one minute and forty-two seconds). But this will not be enough for gold — you also need to cover the distance without colliding with the opponent’s bike. In general, we keep a little on the sidelines and frantically press the acceleration key.
Well, going down hilly terrain would certainly help in achieving the desired result.
- Do not run into Mary Ann during the race.
- Win a race in less than 1 minute and 42 seconds.
Mary Ann’s fate is unknown. Who knows, maybe she reconciled with her friend. After meeting with her, only through Michael’s page in LifeInvader it will be possible to read the athlete’s complaints about her insignificance.
Strangers gta 5 — mary-ann quinn — play together despise men. She has never been married and has no children. But Mary Ann found herself in something else: in a healthy lifestyle and constant exhausting workouts. In addition, she has reached the position of Senior Vice President at the company she works for. However, neither sport nor work helps her deal with complexes: Miss Quinn really likes to talk about her problems.
Mary Ann does not trust men and considers them weaklings, however, the hope of starting a family, apparently, does not fade away: the swimming coach set her up with the help of a blind date with a guy named Adam.
This relationship lasted only a week, when the meeting with Trevor made small adjustments to Miss Quinn’s life.
Mary Ann has a Blitter account (@TriathlonMaryAnn) and has a funny microblog. Also, after meeting, she will be added to Michael in Lifeinvader. In addition, all three characters will receive Miss Quinn’s phone number, but they won’t be able to get through to her, and they won’t be able to meet her outside of the missions listed below.
Reaching 100 percent in game completion stats only requires completing the mission from Mary Ann Quinn for Franklin.
Exercising Demons — Michael
If you complete the Odds and Strangers missions during the game, Michael will be the first to meet Mary Ann. Of course, the workaholic obsessed with training and a healthy lifestyle sleeps at night, so the task is available only between seven in the morning and eight in the evening. You can find it on Playa Vista in the Del Perro area. Depending on whether Michael meets Miss Quinn first, or another character met her before, the task will be marked on the map with or .
Keep in mind that Michael will only be able to meet Mary Ann after completing the «Complications» story mission and «Pulling Favors» mission from Tony Wiggins.
Upon arrival, Michael will see a thin, nervous blonde who will offer him a running fight. To get «gold» at the end of the mission, you need to overtake your opponent and finish first, so it would be useful to «pump» the character’s endurance parameter before meeting with Mary Ann. This can be done, for example, in the first triathlon.
GTA 5 Freaks and Strangers Mary Ann Running on Myself Michael 100% Gold
The route of the race is not too long, however, there are several places on it where you can cut the distance a little. For example, at the very beginning of the race, you can jump over the fence to the parking lot, and a little later you can skip the stairs by jumping onto the bridge.
Despite the fact that such opportunities are immediately striking, you should not use them — you still won’t be able to break away from Mary Ann, but you won’t get “gold” in this task anymore — to get it, you need to go through the entire track, not cutting paths.
It is noteworthy that even in this short optional task, the game surprises with an abundance of small details — before turning onto the promenade, you can see a passer-by who has become ill, and near whom a lifeguard is trying to help.
During the race, you need to try not to crash into passers-by — this will slow Michael down, and he may fall behind Mary Ann too far. If Michael’s stamina level leaves much to be desired, you should save your strength until the finish line in order to make the last dash and get ahead just before the beach.
After winning, Michael will receive Mary Ann’s phone number. Probably, initially the developers planned to expand the role of Miss Quinn, but in the future these ideas were never implemented — it will not work to get through to Mary Ann.
In addition, Mary Ann will also “friend” Michael on the Lifeinvader social network and write as an excuse for losing the race that she chose the wrong food that day and lost for this very reason. It is also interesting to read the profile of Miss Quinn — she laments that losing the race to «a plump guy who is already well over forty» is the biggest humiliation in her entire life.
Exercising Demons — Franklin
Franklin meets Mary Ann at North Point in Paleto Forest. On the map, the mission will be marked with the corresponding icon: if he meets it first of the trinity of main characters, then , if not the first, then . A prerequisite for Franklin to receive a task from Mary Ann Quinn is the passage of the Predator story mission. The task is available, as well as missions for other characters, from 7 am to 8 pm.
The track on which Franklin will compete with Mary Ann is the longest and most diverse: if the other two characters got only one type of competition, then he will have to go through a real mini-triathlon.
The structure of the race is a triathlon — running, swimming and cycling. In addition, this is the only task from Miss Quinn that is required to get 100 percent in the game statistics of the passage.
Despite the fact that this competition is not as long as real triathlons, it is still worth making sure that the character’s stamina level is at its maximum before completing the task. To get «gold» at the end of the mission, you need to overtake Mary Ann without taking shortcuts.
First you need to cross a small bay — there will be no surprises here, and if your stamina is not the best, you can save your strength at this stage. The bike race is also nothing special, except for the jump over the destroyed bridge. You need to start picking up speed as soon as the bridge appears in the distance: otherwise, the bike simply will not reach the opposite side — even with maximum acceleration, Franklin will barely have enough speed for a successful landing. By the way, this jump is one of the «stunt jumps», the performance of which also counts for 100 percent completion.
The last part of the triathlon is the race. As always, it’s best to save half your stamina bar for the finish line. However, the route is simple and short, so you can run it even at the expense of health. The place for the finish line was excellent — on the one hand, there is an excellent ocean panorama, on the other, a beautiful view of Mount Chilliad. However, this is not of interest to Mary Ann: as soon as the mission is over, Miss Quinn will run away to train further, considering herself a lost loser.
Franklin will receive Mary Ann’s phone number, but, like Michael, will not be able to reach her.
Exercising Demons — Trevor
Trevor can meet Mary Ann between 7 am and 8 pm at Galileo Observatory Park in Vinewood Hills. A prerequisite for obtaining this mission is the completion of the story mission «Reuniting the Family». If Trevor meets Mary Ann before the others, the mission will be marked on the map with an icon, if not, then .
Unlike the other two characters, Trevor will not meet Miss Quinn during training: she will be on a date with her newfound boyfriend Adam, which, judging by Mary Ann’s angry monologue, did not work out from the very beginning.
However, given the nature of this lady, there is nothing to be surprised at.
But Trevor is surprised and delighted by Mary Ann and her peculiar manner of communication. He had never met such wonderful women before! This is love at first sight! However, Mary Ann does not share Trevor’s feelings, and even seems to be afraid of him. She invites Trevor to prove his love in a bike race — probably just an excuse to hit the road.
To get «gold» as a result of this mission, you need not only win the race, but also meet 1 minute and 42 seconds. In addition, it is necessary to stay at a certain distance from the opponent during the entire race — it is very easy to collide with her, and she will be angry, which is unacceptable.
After the race, Mary Ann will rush off in an unknown direction, and Trevor will be left with a broken heart and the number of a new acquaintance in his phone book. However, like the rest of the heroes, he will not be able to get through to Miss Quinn.
