Barrington athlete, Susan Moodie, was excited to win her first PCCCT when she took out the Molly Malone’s six kilometre handicap at Devonport on Sunday.
Well suited by the distance and flattish course, which used the paths beside the Mersey and the track to the Bluff Lighthouse, Moodie took her chance and ended up having a comfortable victory.
One of the club veterans, Alan Bakes was a gallant second with the much improved Matthew Rolls finishing third.
Moodie was surprised but delighted with her win. Although she had been running consistently, she had not been able to get into the placings previously this season.
Race favourite, Eric Hughes, looked a chance early in the race off his front mark but was not able to match the efforts of the placegetters as runners headed back along Victoria Parade.
Others to show good form were Tobin Mason, Liz Murton and David Wright.
Fastest female was Lyn Saint-John with the consistent Brad Taylor fastest male.
Nominated time winners were Shi Bennett, Heidi D’Monte, Sandra Elphinstone and Hannah Elphinstone.
