IRONMAN Musselman
Musselman is the Finger Lakes half: 1,900 m in Seneca Lake, 90 km through the rolling hills and vineyards of upstate New York, and 21.1 km around Geneva at the top of the lake.
Seneca is deep and clear, and deep lakes hold cold below the surface even in July. The swim is the part athletes report as colder than they expected, so plan the wetsuit and consider a warm-up entry before the start rather than a cold shock at the gun.
The bike does not have a defining climb, just constant gradient change across wine country, which means the riders who do well here are the ones willing to work the hills rather than protect a single average number.
Mid-July in upstate New York is warm and humid, and the run is largely exposed. It is a well-supported regional race with a long history in the area, and the local crowds treat it that way.
