Run 59

Congratulations Lincoln! Lincoln was the first to cross the line after the 30 minute mark, with a personal best time, so he has secured the maximum 20 points. Great running.

Conditions were ideal today and this was reflected by 7 out of the 10 runners recording personal best times.

PB's this week;
Martin - 6 minutes 9 seconds - outstanding!
Helen - 1 minute 37 seconds
Marianne - 25 seconds
Leo - 11 seconds
Rob - 10 seconds
Lucia - 5 seconds
Lincoln - 4 seconds

Next week is market weekend so we will be running on Sunday 3rd April at 8:00am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 58

Congratulations Rob on two fronts. Firstly for winning tonight's run and secondly for running his 50th run. Unfortunately because Rob only ran 3km, which is less than his highest distance for the season (5km) he can only pick up one point. But that's the way it goes.

It was the inaugural week day evening session of Warrandyte River Runners and it was great to see so many people out there running.

We saw 2 new PB's tonight and another 3 people ran within 15 seconds of their PB.
Owen - 42 seconds
Martin - 15 seconds

Within 15 seconds - Steve, Marianne and Rob.

Well run everyone.

Due to this weekend's Warrandyte Festival, the next run will be on Saturday 26th March at 7:00am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 57

Congratulations Rob! Today was Rob's turn to take out the maximum 20 points by crossing the line first after the 30 minute mark, and with a personal best time.

The competition was hot today between Reuben and Meghann, and also between Owen and Leo. Consequently all four of them broke! More than half the field ran personal best times today, even though it felt quite warm and humid. Great running guys.

Personal bests today;
Leo - 39 seconds
Meghann - 27 seconds
Owen - 25 seconds
Marianne - 17 seconds
David W - 10 seconds
David C - 4 seconds
Rob - 2 seconds.

A huge thank you to Peter for doing the time keeping today. It was quite hectic and he handled it beautifully.

Next weekend is the Warrandyte Festival on Saturday and Sunday so the track will be unavailable for running. Therefore we have decided to run next week on Thursday evening, 17th March at 6pm.

See you down by the hut.

Run 56

Congratulations Richard! Today was Richard's turn to take out a win. There were 3 breakers then Richard was the first to cross the line after the 30 minute mark, with Owen hot on his heels. As he also managed a PB this means he has taken out the maximum 20 points. Well done.

It was a brisk morning today but a beautiful day for running. With such favourable conditions we saw 5 PB's recorded and another 2 within 15 seconds of their PB.

Today's PB's;
Alex - 1 minute 22 seconds (outstanding!)
Cath - 36 seconds
Richard - 36 seconds
Lincoln - 31 seconds
Lucia - 19 seconds
(Both Owen and Rob were within 15 seconds).

A warm welcome to our new runner today - David. We hope to see you back next week.

Next week we are back to the regular Saturday timeslot. The run will be on Saturday 12th March at 7:00am.

See you down by the hut.
