So, it's winter. It's cold. It's hard to step away from that cup of cocoa for the freeze of toes and fingers of a jog. Looking ahead, what are your favorite upcoming aquathlon events?

Beginning in April here in California we have an awesome series of races, the Playa del Run www.playadelrun.com. And in June there's the Pacific Open Water Challenge here in Long beach, CA.

Helps to think of the warm events during these blanket months. How about you, what events keep your thoughts warm.
