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.
