Run 181

It was cool again this morning as everyone got a run in prior to this years AFL final festivities.

Footy season has obviously help Leo out this year as he blitzed around the course to break by more than a minute. This left the gate open for our last seasons consistency winner to take the first spot. Well done Nada. Not to far behind was Steve K, Atsuko and Caitlin F.

We had the presentations today so congratulations to our winners for season 11.
Nada - Top spot
Atsuko - A very close second
Owen K - First youngster
Caitlin F - Second youngster

Enjoy.

There was 1 PB and 2 equal PBs this week:

PBs:
Leo - 1 minute 32 seconds (amazing)

Margaret - equal

Nada - equal
Within 15 seconds:

Next week the run is on Sunday 6th October 2013 at 8:00am. Remember daylight savings starts.

New runners welcome at any stage during the season.

Socks this week go to Steve K. 

Run 179 & 180

I am not sure about last week, however it was a cool morning this morning with the mercury at around 5 degrees. Thanks to Peter for running things last week, it was greatly appreciated.

Last week looked to be a hotly contested run with just 1 second separating Jon and Steve. This week was a little easier with a nice spacing between runners as everyone tried to warm up as quickly as possible. 

It was great to see everyone out and I hope to see everyone again next week.

I plan to have the presentations next week so will let you know if they do not go ahead. 

There were no PBs this week, however last week saw 1 PB and 1 within 15 seconds:

PBs:
Jon - 4 seconds (great effort)

Within 15 seconds:
Margaret

Next week the run is on Saturday 28th September 2013 at 7:30am. 

New runners welcome at any stage during the season.

No Socks this week. 

Run 178 New Season

A cool start to the new season. It was 6 degrees this morning and it felt a little cooler. This didn't stop a large crowd starting off the Spring event.

Doug played it cool this morning telling everyone he was out for a slow one today. He started well and wasn't able to be caught. It was rumoured that he was secretly training whilst on leave recently.

Doug was closely followed by Jon, Nada and Atsuko who were all only seconds apart. 

There was 1 PB and 2 within 15 seconds this week:

PBs:
Barbara - 45 seconds

Within 15 seconds:
Jon and Nada

Next week the run is on Saturday 14th September 2013 at 7:30am. 

New runners welcome at any stage during the season.

Socks this week go to Margaret. Thanks to Alex for drawing the random number.

Run 177 (Season final)

I would like to thank everyone who came down and joined us this season. I hope you can all make for the next season as we move into Spring and Summer. If you haven't been out for the last season why not come and join us again and commence training for the next Run Warrandyte event.

This season saw Nada take out top honours just ahead of Atsuko. Well done to the ladies of the event as they clearly showed us guys how easy it was.

For the kids event Owen K takes out top honours for his 3rd season in a row and racked up an additional 32 points on his previous win. It was also fitting that he celebrated his 50th run this week. Well done. He was closely followed on the points table by Caitlin F a runner that not only loves to come out but does so well and makes it look so easy.

Presentations will be in a couple of weeks when I organise the trophies and medals. I will give everyone notice.

In relation to run 177, I think there are going to be a few disputes over the winner although it only hampers him for the start of next season. The conditions were perfect for running and the PBs showed. There were 2 breakers this week and some very close groupings.

Have a nice father's day to all the dads and see you all next Sunday. As agreed we will continue with the later start until daylight savings kicks in.


There were 4 PBs and 1 within 15 seconds this week:

PBs:
Martin C - 1 minute and 2 seconds
Steven G - 49 seconds
Owen - 19 seconds
Nada - 7 seconds
