If you are flexible, your muscles have a larger range to extend and give you a better projection when running and swimming.
When you are swimming, flexibility plays a major role in the extension of your forward arm. It will give you a better "glide" motion and help when you make the second part of your stroke by allowing you to pull more water.
When you are running, flexibility help you complete an entire leg rotation and make it so you can spring off of the ground easier.
Cycling is in another category because being flexible doesn't help cycling too much, do to the fact that your legs can only go where your pedals allow.
All in all, your flexibility will help you immensely, from start to finish. You can get a better stretch before and after races and help prevent pulled muscles.
