On Sunday, another early-filler, the YWCA Women's Tri, which was previewed three days ago, will be "experienced" at Lake Nokomis. And in Spicer, the 9th annual Green Lake Triathlon will happen.

Also on Sunday is the inaugural Rev 3 Wisconsin Dells Triathlons, featuring Olympic and half IM races. Minnesota pros David Thompson and Devon Palmer are entered in the half, and we're...
