What better way to kick off the Memorial Day weekend, than with an 800 meter swim, 10 mile bike, and 5K run in beautiful Windsor, Colorado. Windsor Town Lake is just minutes from I-25 in Northern Colorado. Wendy Mader, the top amateur finisher at the 2008 Hawaii Ironman and race director for Pelican Fest knows what makes a great race!
