Plan Description
Train Smart for Success at the Musselman Half Distance Triathlon in Geneva, NY
Whether you’re a returning competitor or tackling your first Half Distance Triathlon, preparing specifically for this course is essential for a confident, injury-free performance.
Race Overview: What to Expect in Geneva
🌊 Swim – 1.2 Miles
Begin your journey in the calm, clear waters of Seneca Lake. With water temperatures averaging 72°F (22°C) and a sun-sheltered morning start, this swim is ideal for consistent pacing and strong technique.
🚴 Bike – 56 Miles
The rolling terrain of the Finger Lakes challenges athletes with scenic climbs out of the Seneca Lake valley and fast descents toward Cayuga Lake. Rural roads, changing elevations, and variable winds demand efficient climbing and confident bike handling.
🏃 Run – 13.1 Miles
The two-loop course hugs the lakeshore and winds through the campus of Hobart and William Smith College. With average race-day temperatures near 70°F (21°C), the course tests both pacing and endurance as you balance terrain and heat.
