Run 198

Sorry about last weeks blog update. The figures were added, however it has been a hectic week.

Run 197 saw Mark our newest member take out line honours just ahead of Peter and Jozica. Welcome Mark, we hope to see you back soon.

A smaller crowd this week as everyone enjoys the Aussie day long weekend. We were a little late getting started so a mass start was agreed to. After the inclusion of handicaps Margaret took out the win after Olie broke. Both making it look easy. With smaller numbers everyone picked up additional points. Nada came in second sporting her new Run Warrandyte T-Shirt. I still think she should get extra points for this. (Okay maybe I am little biased). The shirts look great so don't forget to purchase when entering for the event next Sunday. Paul rounded out the top three this morning.

Olie - 4 minutes 8 seconds

Due to the markets on Saturday and Run Warrandyte on Sunday there will not be run next week.

Next run will be Saturday 8 February 2014 at 7:00am.

All new runners and walkers are welcome.

Run 196

Another good turn out this morning and a welcome to Daniel who joined us for his first run with the group.

It seemed to be mild conditions, however the more you ran the warmer you got. This didn't deter a few who picked up PBs for the morning. Great work.

This weeks win was taken out by Margaret, who timed the run to perfection finishing closest to 30 minutes without going under. She was closely followed by Paul and then Atsuko. This was all possible as Dennis and Daniel broke. Daniel will receive a handicap based on this run for his next outing.

It was also good to see Marianne and Lincoln back out with us after a short break.

I have done the latest handicap adjustments which will take effect after next weeks run. This provides an adjustment for those of us that have not run a PB in the last 6 months. You need to have run though to receive an adjustment.

PBs
Dennis - 41 seconds
Margaret - 15 seconds
Paul K - 8 seconds

Next run is Saturday 18 January 2014 at 7:00am.

All new runners and walkers are welcome.

Don't forget to register for Run Warrandyte as it is only a few weeks away on Sunday 2 February 2014.

Socks this week go to Janette. We may need to discuss this.

Run 195

Well, after all the adjustments of times yours truly ended up with a win after Dennis and Olie ran under the 30 minute mark.

It was great to see a few people back at the run after some time away. Both Janette and Alan came for a very relaxed 5k run after finishing 366 consecutive marathon runs that took them around Australia. All this on a raw vegan diet.

We also saw Dennis back after some time off. He blitzed the course with a new PB.

The day also saw Margaret and Paul placing in 2nd and 3rd, with Lewis and Miles completing the full 2k course. Well done.

PBs
Dennis - 1 minute 9 seconds

Within 15 seconds
Margaret and Janette

Next run is Saturday 11 January 2014 at 7:00am.

All new starters welcome.

Socks go to Paul K
