Tom Doyle placed 11th at the National Duathlon (5K run, 35K bike, 5K
run) Sunday April 25th in downtown Richmond, which qualifies him for the World Duathon in Scotland.
Tom does not have a TT bike these days, so he rode his 15 year old Specialized Epic with clip on bars and tubular Tri Spokes. This  old road bike made for an interesting comparison against the high  end TT  bikes. 25 of the 34 in Tom’s age division had nice TT bikes and most had Zip 404 or comperable wheels. With the roads still wet from the nights rain, Tom was more comfortable at speed and cornering than 15  of the 25 guys on TT bikes – thus averaging 0.5 – 2.0 MPH faster  than 15 of the fastest 25.

Way to go Tom!
