After finishing in the first six in 8 out of her 9 starts this season the consistent Ingrid Douglass mastered the tough Mandurang course on Sunday to record her second win for the year. After having won the third heat of this year’s Flack Advisory Grand Prix Series Ingrid’s season went from good to great when she took out the Vin Drechsler Memorial 5k Handicap.
Speaking of good, in the battle of the school-teachers Girton’s Ingrid inflicted a 9 second defeat on Catholic College’s Ben Goode who stormed home for second place.
Next behind these two was back-marker Michael Preece who also ran Fastest Time on the day. Michael’s 17:09 was almost a minute quicker than second-fastest Adam Parker. On a less challenging course Michael’s time would have been sub-17 minutes, so he’s finding his best form in time for the second half of the season.
After the Club has this Sunday July 3 off, Ben Goode will be hoping he’s learned his lesson and can claim the next race at No. 7 Reservoir to finish at the head of the class.
