Run 201

Welcome to Jamie who joined us for a run this morning.

It was a mass start due to the Warrandyte Pottery Expo. They have some very nice items if you get the chance to head down.

The conditions were cooler than they have been which allowed for some quick times. After handicaps where included we had a couple of breakers with Alex and Nada coming under the 30 minute mark. This allowed Peter to pick up his second win in as many weeks. He was closely followed by Jozica and Atsuko all of which have been running very well of late.

Well done to Dennis as he competes in the 3 Sunset Series runs on a Wednesday night. He has already completed the Zoo run and Tan with respectable first and second placings in his classification.

Nada's next run will be her 50th great work.

PBs
Alex - 1 minute 9 seconds
Jozica - 14 seconds
Peter - 6 seconds

Atsuko within 15 seconds

Next run is Sunday 2nd February 2014 at 7:30am as it is market weekend.

All new runners welcome and welcome to those just starting with us.

Socks this week go to Jozica.

Run 200

Thank you everyone for coming down this morning. It was a warm morning and we were able to celebrate our 200th run along with providing trophies to our winners from Season 12. Well done to Margaret, Nada, Caitlin and Owen.

Whilst everyone mentioned it was warm this morning it didn't stop PBs being recorded.
The handicap was obviously right this week as Peter took out the win after breaking last week. He had just enough of a lead on Atsuko who came flying down the last 150 metres to finish a very very close second.
Following was our winner and current leader - Margaret.

It was a great turn out and even the 2ker's showed some speed with Miles in first after a 500 mtr dash, Marianne our first 2ker and Lewis coming in third.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you all next week.

PBs
Marianne - 23 seconds
Peter - 9 seconds
Margaret - equal

Alex within 15 seconds
Atsuko within 15 seconds

Next run is Saturday 22nd February 2014 at 7:00am.

Keep on running.

Socks this week go to Jon.

Run 199

I hope all are safe and well after the events on Sunday.

Saturday saw a good number of participants with Peter just holding out Atsuko. I had my pen hovering not knowing who was going to cross first. Unfortunately both blitzed it home and broke by finishing under the 30 min mark. This meant Jozica had a well deserved win after finishing the 12k event at Run Warrandyte the week before. Nada was ever consistent and finished 2nd with newcomer Mark finishing 3rd after increasing to the 4k course.

Jarrah took out honours for the 2k run. Well done.

It was good to see everyone out and I hope you can all join us this weekend as we celebrate our 200th run and we present to the winners of last seasons.

Also a well done to Alex who completed his 50th run this week.

PBs
Jozica - 27 seconds
Peter - 18 seconds

Barbara - within 15 seconds

Next run is on Saturday 15 February 2014 at 7:00am.

All are welcome to join us for a fun morning of running.

Socks to Mark
