Run 40

Congratulations Peter! Peter managed to cross the line first and within 5 seconds of his PB so he has picked up 18 points, surging into 3rd place on the consistency ladder.

With Olie a no-show (allegedly camping) and Luke taking out 3rd place (within 15 seconds of his PB), these two are now tied 1st place. Peter is hot on your heels guys - only 2 points the difference.

Conditions must have been fabulous for running today with 1 PB and everyone else within 15 seconds of theirs. Well done everyone.

PB's this week:
Lincoln - 13 seconds

Next week is market weekend so the run will be on Sunday 7th November at 8:00am.

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

Run 39

Congratulations, Luke. Luke managed to cross the line first today within 2 seconds of his PB so he picked up 18 points. That puts him 2nd on the Consistency Ladder with a bullet. 40 points from 4 runs makes Luke the one to watch.

Olie has managed 46 points from 5 runs so he is also doing extremely well. It looks like we are going to have a battle of the blokes for top position this season. Come on girls!

The weather was much kinder to us this morning and we managed to stay dry. There were 2 PB's recorded today and a further 4 runners were within 15 seconds of their PB's so it was great running by everybody.

This week's PB's;
Alan - 18 seconds
Owen - 5 seconds

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

See you down by the hut!

Run 39

A washout! The first washout in the history of Warrandyte River Runners.

With approximately 40mm of rain in the past 24 hours and a downpour of hail at start time, I found myself sitting on my own in the car at the Stiggants car park.

Then through the mist came Alan, running down to the start line despite the less than perfect conditions.

Alas, as Alan was the only brave soul ready to run, I declared a washout.

It is great to see so much rain to have our water storages prepared for summer, but it would be nice to have a break in the weather at run time!

So next week's run is on Saturday 23rd October at 7.30am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 38

Congratulations Owen! It looks like Owen is back in form for Season 3 and took out his first win today taking out 17 points. Well done.

It was a beautiful morning for a run or walk today. Once again, thank you to our walkers for coming out and joining us on these perfect spring mornings.

There were only 2 pb's run today and 2 within cooee, I think we are all still getting used to the new daylight savings time.

This week's PB's were...
Janette - 1 min, 32 seconds - smashed it!
Bianca - 2 seconds

I wish all the best to those running the marathon tomorrow and I look forward to hearing all about it.

Next week's run is on Saturday 16th October at 7:30am.

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