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.
Thanks for the info. And rxleakem, at this early date I'll consider it looks like a great event although doesn't appear to be an easy place to get to coming from Denver. Any travel hints would be appreciated.
You are right, it is in the far reaches of the state, and drive time from Boston is around 4 hours and Albany, NY, is closer to 4.5 hours. There is an airport in Burlington, VT, that is about 2 hours away. I know that knicholas flew in last year from out west and enjoyed some extra time before and after the swim. I live in the southwest corner of the state, and it takes about 3.5 hours.
Maybe some of our frequent fliers can add some advice? I would highly recommend extra time to explore that part of our state, often compared to Ireland with the green rolling hills. There are a bunch of great lakes to explore while you are here!
