Plan Description
Welcome to the Half Distance Triathlon in Pennsylvania – HAPPY VALLEY, a race that blends natural beauty, collegiate pride, and race-day excitement. Set in the heart of Bald Eagle State Park, this event features:
✅ 1.2-mile swim in Foster Joseph Sayers Lake – calm waters and a beach start make for a smooth, confidence-boosting opening leg (avg. water temp: 76°F / 24°C).
🚴 56-mile bike through Happy Valley’s scenic farmland – including tough but rewarding climbs over Hublers Ridge and Pleasant Gap, finishing near the Penn State campus.
🏃 13.1-mile run winding through the historic Penn State University grounds – pass Old Main, the Nittany Lion Shrine, and finish on the 50-yard line of Beaver Stadium (avg. air temp: 78°F / 26°C).
To conquer this legendary course, you need more than motivation—you need a smart, focused, and proven Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan.
