Plan Description

The Musselman Half Distance Triathlon in Geneva, New York, is a standout race in the Finger Lakes region, offering athletes a rewarding challenge amid stunning natural scenery. The course begins with a 1.2-mile swim in the clear, calm waters of Seneca Lake, launching from the Finger Lakes Welcome Center. With early morning shade and average water temps around 72°F (22°C), it sets the tone for a fast start.

Next is the 56-mile bike ride—a scenic yet demanding loop that climbs from the lake valley toward Cayuga Lake before returning with a rapid descent to Seneca. Rolling rural roads and shifting terrain test both stamina and handling.

Finally, the 13.1-mile run features two loops along Seneca Lake and through Hobart and William Smith College. Expect a mix of lakefront views, crowd energy, and gentle elevation, with air temps averaging 70°F (21°C).

To race Musselman well, your preparation must be as intentional as the course is diverse. Our Six-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built precisely for this.

Why This Plan Works for Musselman
✅ Course-Specific Endurance
From week one’s 9.5 hours to a peak of 14, the plan builds your long-course stamina gradually—ideal for Musselman’s hilly bike and extended run segments.

🚴 VO2 Max & Threshold Sessions
Interval rides and threshold training target the long, steady climbs and rapid descents of the Finger Lakes terrain, preparing your legs to push with control and recover quickly.

🏊 Aerobic Swim Development
With consistent aerobic swim workouts, you’ll develop the strength and technique needed for a fast, controlled 1.2-mile lake swim—starting your race calm and strong.

🏃‍♂️ Anaerobic Power Workouts
Sprint intervals and anaerobic training sharpen your ability to respond to pace changes, manage late-race fatigue, and close out the run with confidence.

✅ Injury Prevention Focus
Structured recovery weeks and mobility work are integrated to reduce injury risk, especially important for hilly terrain and back-to-back training load.

Whether you’re targeting a personal best or aiming to finish strong, this structured plan supports your goals with precision and purpose. It includes personalized email coach support to keep you accountable, answer questions, and adapt the training to your needs.
