Run 76

Well it definitely felt like Spring is coming with a beautiful morning down at the hut. Lets put it this way it was a lot warmer and dryer than the past few weeks.

Congratulations this week goes to Marianne!  She is just showing us why she is at the top of the points table even though she did have Lincoln close on her heels. Lucia picked up some valuable points this week with another great run. Just showing the kids how it is done as Jeremy just came in ahead of his big brother. Well done to you both.

There were no personal best times recorded today, however the following were within 15 secs;
Marianne
Lincoln
Lucia

We hope to see Jodi back next week.

Next weeks run will be on Sunday 7 August 2011 at 8:00am.

See you down by the hut.

Rob (this week)

This week's winner of the socks - Peter

Run 75

Congratulations Peter!  After a massive sprint to the finish line with Lincoln hot on his heels, Peter managed to cross the line first after the 30 minute mark and secured 17 points.  Well done.

Now we're at the pointy end of the season the people holding the top 3 spots on the ladder have all completed 10 runs.  Only the top 10 runs count towards the consistency points so its harder to get more points added. 

There were 2 personal best times recorded today;
Anthony - 59 seconds
Lincoln - 12 seconds

A big thank you to Rob for running the show this morning as I just wasn't able to make it today.  Hopefully I'll be able to make it next week.

Next weeks run will be on Saturday 30 July 2011 at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

This week's winner of the socks - Lincoln

Run 74

Congratulations Lucia!  Now that Lucia has got a taste for winning she is unstoppable.  With another PB this week Lucia has taken out her second win in a row and another 20 points.  Well done and keep up the good work.

It was bitterly cold this morning, with the temparature hovering somewhere around 0, so we had an unscheduled mass start to prevent any cases of frost bite! 

The personal bests were a family affair this week;
Lucia - 22 seconds
Anthony - 11 seconds
Martin - 7 seconds

Everyone else, you deserve extra points just for turning up.
Next week's run is on Saturday 23 July at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

This week's winner of the socks - Steve

Run 73

Congratulations Lucia!  Another week for the girls with Lucia taking out her first win for the season, with a personal best time, therefore securing the maximum 20 points.  Great running Lucia (was it the husband/wife running combo that did it?).

Things are certainly getting interesting now with the top 3 spots held by the Warrandyte River Runner girls.  Lucia has rocketed into second place, Marianne is on her 9th run - remember only the best 10 runs count - and Cath is still there at third after only 4 runs.

Good luck to all the River Runners competing in Run Melbourne next Sunday.

There were 2 PB's recorded this morning and another 3 people came within 15 seconds of theirs.  PB's this week;
Anthony - 4 minutes 12 seconds (wow!)
Lucia - 22 seconds
Within 15 seconds - John, Martin, Rob.

Next week the run is on Saturday 16th July at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

Congratulations John!  After only his 3rd appearance at Warrandyte River Runners John has taken out the win, with a personal best time and therefore securing the maximum 20 points.  Great run.

Thank you to Rob for timekeeping today while I stayed home in the warm with all the kids.

Today 4 people recorded new PB's and another 1 came within 15 seconds of theirs.  This week's PB details are;
John - 42 seconds
Dennis - 30 seconds
Martin - 14 seconds
Lucia - 10 seconds

Welcome back to those runners who have joined us again after some time away - it's always great to see you back.  I should have been there to say hello.
