Going Off Course - Does it bum you out when you meet, or read about, someone who is totally better than you in every conceivable way? Does it make you want to get drunk and eat bad food?
Me, too.
When one of the MTN Guys (Trudles) asked me to do an "Off Course" feature on Minneapolis triathlete Cody Stadler, I gladly accepted the assignment.

Going "Off Course" - South Minneapolis triathlete Jared Smith (photo) is a totally cool, fun-loving guy who has been to Mexico and parts his occasionally swoopy hair on the right. Sometimes he wears funky glasses. According to a guy who minored in psychology at a college, people who part their hair on the right are generally cool, fun-loving and adventurous, often visiting exotic locales, like Mexico, and sometimes wear funky glasses. As fun-loving adventurous travelers, right-side-parters will eat just about anything and don't mind washing dishes by hand. When you read Jared's bio, you'll clearly see that he fits this profile.
Jared sent us disturbing pictures of stuff that he likes to eat, only a fraction of which resembled real food.
