Subject: RE: Musselman Half-Iron Triathlon : Official ThreadMusselman is a great race!!. the swim is good. the lake can get a bit choppy sometimes, but not bad. The bike course if pretty fair - gentle sloping uphill for the first third, levels out for the middle, and then generally sloping downhill for the final third. There's a few decent sized up and down hills about 1/2 way through the bike, but they're manageable. There is a small 3-4 mile gravel section during the final third of the bike - take it easy on the part and you'll be fine. The run is flat for the first 3ish miles and final 3ish miles. The middle is hilly, with one or two tough hills. The run alongside the corn field is interesting. Overall, the run course is good though.
There is great support along the entire course, and especially on the run course. Kudos to all the musicians and volunteers - they do a great job.
Enjoy the Musselman - it's a great race! |
