This week we saw 3 people break their PB and another 4 incredibly close to theirs.

PB's
Jenny - 2 min 51 sec - smashed it!

Run 35

Congratulations, Doug! Today Doug has taken out maximum points by running a PB and crossing the line at 30:01. Well done!

Peter, Lincoln and Alan were all on fire this morning and ran so well that they all broke.

It was a close finish with 4 people crossing the line within 7 seconds!

We had a record number of runners today - 21 people ran and a further 5 people walked which is a River Runenrs PB. Our previous record is 20 runners. So thanks to everyone for getting out there and giving it a go.

There were also 7 PB's recorded on the track today, one equal PB and a further 2 people within 15 seconds of their PB. We also welcomed Murray to River Runners.

Today's PB's were....
Lincoln - 1 minute 5 seconds (amazing!)
Alan - 49 seconds
Doug - 18 seconds
Olie - 10 seconds
Rob - 9 seconds
Lou - 5 seconds
Anthony - 1 second

Meghann equalled her PB while Peter and Martin ran within 15 seconds of theirs.

So well done to everyone and I hope you have a great week.

Next weeks run is Saturday 25th September @ 7:30am.

Season 2 Presentation Day


Thank you to everyone who came to the Season 2 presentation day on Sunday, including Phoenix who looks just a little bored.
The weather was kind to us and we all enjoyed some cheese, a few sausages and rhubarb cake!

A big congratulations to both Owen and Sam who took out the trophies for Season 2. It makes it all worthwhile to see the kids so proud of themselves for regularly getting out early on Saturday mornings and running.

Well done to everyone who has managed to make it out on the track over the cold and often muddy winter months to have a run.

I also want to thank Rob for his help to keep Warrandyte River Runners going. Rob is definitely the brains behind the operation and sorts out all the technical handicap issues. Putting all the results together and getting them published can sometimes be challenging.

Now Season 3 has to be the season for the adults. Maybe with Olie's outstanding start to the season it will be his turn to host the mega trophy.
You have to be in it to win it!
See you down by the hut on Saturday 18th September at 7:30am.

Run 34

Congratulations Olie - again! This is the second week in a row that Olie has crossed the line first after the 30 minute mark and today he also ran a PB. This means maximum points have been added to the table for Olie. He is streaking to the lead for this season's consistency award.

Another big well done to Anthony and Alex, both running PB's and breaking.

Everyone ran well today and we saw a few new PB's and a few people running very close to their PB's.

This week's PB's;
Alex - 1min 6secs - amazing!
Anthony - 36 secs
Rob - 22secs
Olie - 19 secs
Jodi - 18 secs

Within 15 seconds of their PB;
Bianca, Owen & Cath

Next week's run is on Saturday 18th September at 7:30am.

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

Run 33 - First run of Season 3

Congratulations, Olie! It would seem that wearing a new running shirt helps see you cross the line first. So to all those Dad's who got new running shirts today, make sure you wear them next week.

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's and I hope everyone had a great day.

Most of us must have been thinking about the celebrations of the day and we saw only one PB today - well done, Alex. He doesn't run often, but made the most of today (without his brother there) running a PB and coming in second.

Next week's run is Saturday 11th September at 7:30am.

If you can make it to presentation day on Sunday at midday, please send me an email to let me know how many you have coming. We will have a sausage sizzle at the electric bbq's and present the trophies.

This weeks PB:
Alex - 10 seconds.

I hope you can make the run next week and I'll see you down by the hut.
