DoubleMussel 88.7
Since the mini-Mussel moved to Saturday in 2007, we can offer crazy people - err, dedicated triathletes - the chance to compete in BOTH the mini-Mussel and Musselman half-iron. Eighty-eight point seven miles of magic & wonder! And the best part - you get to sleep and eat between them. We'll have a special prize for the man and woman will the lowest combined times, and we'll honor those "going for broke" with extra supplies at the medical tent.

 Swim course (750 meters)
  • The deep-water swim course takes place in a canal connecting Seneca Lake to the Seneca River, with an in-the-water start and excellent spectator viewing for the entirety. Water temperature is typically in the mid-70's, so expect wetsuits to be allowed.

 Bike course (16.1mi/26km)
  • The bike includes sections of the half-iron course. It winds through Seneca County on the east side of Seneca Lake, on lightly-trafficked, scenic roads dotted with vineyards. The course has rolling hills, but no big climbs.

  • Want to try the course beforehand? Here's a printer-friendly cue sheet of the directions.

 Run course (3.1mi/5km)
  • The sprint run will be a single loop through expansive Seneca Lake State Park and Geneva's Lakefront Park, with most of the distance on a lakeside path. The course is completely flat and well-shaded with ancient weeping willow trees.
