Plan Description
Train Smart for the Musselman Half Distance Triathlon in Geneva, NY - Designed to test endurance while rewarding persistence, the race showcases the best of upstate New York’s natural beauty and rolling terrain.
🏊 Swim: The 1.2-mile swim begins at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center in Seneca Lake. Athletes can expect calm, clear water and a sun-sheltered start—ideal for a focused, steady effort. With average temperatures around 72°F (22°C), conditions favor comfort and efficiency.
🚴 Bike: The 56-mile ride features rolling hills and farmland views. The course climbs gradually toward Cayuga Lake before offering a fast descent back to Seneca Lake. This terrain demands consistent power output and well-managed pacing.
🏃 Run: The 13.1-mile run includes two scenic loops along Seneca Lake and through Hobart and William Smith College. Expect average temperatures near 70°F (21°C), ideal for a steady finish if energy is well-managed.
To meet the unique demands of the Musselman Half Distance Triathlon, a structured, age-specific training approach is essential—especially for athletes over 60. Our 44-Week Triathlon Training Plan for Senior Athletes 60+ is designed to build confidence, enhance endurance, and reduce injury risk.
