EDIT: I just had a look at the event and BTF/ITU rules and can find nothing that prohibits the use of an MTB. There are rules about bike sizes, height of bottom bracket, seat position, disc wheels etc etc but I think a standard MTB would meet these. The only reference to an MTB specifically was that handle bar extensions (bar ends I assume) are positioned in such a way as not be dangerous to other competitors. HTH
