BCTC member Bob Matson competed in the Double Oak Duathlon near Birmingham, AL last weekend. He conquered the rolling hills on the course and won the 65-69 age group in the Sprint distance (5k/20k/2.5k) category. That qualifies him for the Age Group Worlds in Ottawa, Canada as part of Team USA this August.
Way to go, Bob!!!
