Does anyone know when when the names, locations and distances of the various 2013 USMS Open Water National Championships will be posted on the USMS open water calendar? I just checked and see nothing yet for 2013. It's never too early to start planning. I'm aware through other sources that the 10K is in Lake Mead in May and there is a 2.4 in southern California later in the summer but see nothing of the rest.
The 2013 list is in Appendix C of the 2012 USMS Rule Book.
