Run 79

Congratulations Anne Marie!  After a couple of adjustments for different start times, today saw Anne Marie take out her first win for the season, securing 17 points.  Well done.

It was great to see everyone out in the fog and running really well.  A special mention has to go to Jeremy for finishing in such style - he was flying!  We saw 3 personal best times recorded today and 1 other within 15 seconds.  This week's PB's were;
Lucia - 7 seconds
Peter - 6 seconds
Lincoln - 1 second
Within 15 seconds - Martin

Next week's run is special on two fronts.  Firstly, it will be Peter's 50th run with River Runners so that is certainly something to celebrate.  Secondly, it will be a mass start for the last run of the season and people's times will not be revealed until presentation day.

The run next week will be on Saturday 27th August at 7:30am SHARPEveryone will be starting off together at 7:30am so make sure you are on time.

See you down by the hut.

Run 78

Congratulations Lucia!  Today Lucia hit the top of the consistency table by being the first to cross the line after the 30 minute mark, with a personal best time, and therefore securing the maximum 20 points.  Well done.

The battle is really on for top spot this season.  There is now only 4 points separating first and second and only 20 point separating first and third.  With two runs remaining, who will win?  (Go girls)

The cold, crisp conditions were obviously spot on for running good times with 4 PB's recorded and another 3 within 15 seconds of theirs.  This week's PB's:
Martin - 32 seconds
Lucia - 16 seconds
Marianne - 14 seconds
Lincoln - 5 seconds
Within 15 seconds - Amanda, Helen and Jeremy.

Welcome to our new runner, Paula.  I hope you enjoyed yourself and you'll be back to join us again.  Sorry I had to rush off to basketball and didn't get a chance to have a chat after the run. 

Next week's run is on Saturday 20th August at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 77

Congratulations Lincoln!  Today was Lincoln's turn to cross the line first after the 30 minute mark, with a personal best time, and therefore securing maximum points.  Well done on your second win for the season.

With only 3 runs remaining for the season it is going to be very interesting.  Our top 4 runners have all completed over 10 runs so they must do better than their lowest scoring run for the season to get any more points.  With only 17 points separating our top 3, anyone can take top spot by getting in a win with a PB and securing 20 points.

Today was certainly the day for good running, despite the cold and fog.  We saw 4 breakers, 4 PB's recorded and another 3 were within 15 seconds of theirs.  PB's were;
  • Jeremy - 1 minute 4 seconds
  • Marianne - 53 seconds
  • Lincoln - 5 seconds
  • Reuben - 5 seconds
Within 15 seconds:- Anthony (3km), Lucia, Peter

It was great to see a few kids out there today - they all ran well.

Next week we are back to our regular timeslot.  The run will be on Saturday 13th August at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.
