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.

A guy asked us recently who we thought would win the currently non-existent award for "US Amateur Performance of the Year" (for 2012). After thinking about it for almost a minute, we replied: "Kendra Lee's overall women's win at Ironman Canada" and Dan Hedgecock's course record at Hy-Vee 5150 Elite Championship....

The idea of jetting off to a warm locale for early-season training sounds like the perfect triathlete getaway: an incentive to build power on the bike and get back in the open water, with expert coaches and fellow athletes to push you to a higher fitness level.
If you choose your camp wisely, you can get a valuable head start on your race season.
San Diego-based coach Jim Vance runs camps in locations as far-flung as the Canary Islands and Costa Rica.
