Run 32 - Last run of season 2

Well the last run of Warrandyte River Runner's second season has been run and won on this drizzly, almost end of winter, morning. But by whom? Who will take out the coveted overall trophy? Who will take out the kids trophy? And who will win the medals?

Well, this has to remain a closely guarded secret until presentation day. Speaking of presentation day - this will be held at the electric bbq's down by the start line at 12:oopm on Sunday 12th September, 2010.

Please rsvp by emailing me by Wednesday 8th September.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our runners for making the winter season an enjoyable one. We have had some very cold mornings and managed to fluke only a few wet ones, and still you made it out onto the track.

And a big thank you to Peter for coming out and time keeping again. It's great to see you back and I hope you will be well enough to kick off Season 3.

Season 3 commences next week! If you haven't run for a while, why not take the opportunity to get ready for summer (where has the year gone?) and get back into running. Start getting points on the board from the first run of the season.

Next week's run is on Sunday 5th October at 8:00am.

PB's this week;
Martin - 49 seconds
Lou - 41 seconds
Alan - 40 seconds
Rob - 11 seconds
Cath - 8 seconds

I hope you can make it and I'll see you down by the hut!

Congratulations, Reuben! There were 4 breakers today which meant that Reuben was fifth across the line but still took out the win. Well run.

Today saw 3 new PB's run and 2 within 15 seconds of their PB. It was fresh this morning and thankfully the wind had died down for us. We even timed the raid perfectly - when the last runner had come in, down came the rain. Unfortunately not so well timed for the walkers - they did get an extra shower in this morning!

Don't forget that next week is the last run of the season so it will be a mass start. This means that all runners will start together at 7:30am. So be on time or you will miss the start. No times will be adjusted for late comers.

This weeks PB's;
Anthony - 46 seconds
Nicole - 24 seconds
Owen - 5 seconds

I look forward to next week's mass start where the winner will remain a mystery until presentation day. Details of presentation will be out shortly.

So I'll see you down by the hut next Saturday 28th August at 7:30am sharp.

Congratulations, Craig! We welcomed Craig and Jasper back to the River Runners crew this morning and Craig took out the win with a maximum 20 points! Well done.

We also welcomed Alan and Janette this morning who have inspired us all with their talk of their upcoming event - running around Australia! You can read all about their planned adventure at www.kiwienergyunlimited.com .

Another upcoming event that you may be interested in, not quite as huge, is the Run for the Firies in Eltham on 12th September. There is a 4km or 10km run with very reasonable entry prices that will help raise money for the Research and Kangaroo Ground fire brigades. Find the details at www.runforthefiries.com .

Well done to everyone, it's great to see people out running, walking, chatting and enjoying themselves. I think it's a fantastic way to start the weekend.

PB's today....
Lincoln - 1min 34 secs
Jodi - 1 min 10 secs
Craig - 32 secs
Owen - 9 secs
Anthony - 4 secs

Next weeks run is on election day, Saturday 21st August, 2010 at 7:30 am.
