It was a beautiful Autumn morning.
I would like to say thanks to Peter who stayed back to record my time. He didn't calculate this right as it meant I just came in under his time by only a few seconds. It is interesting having someone waiting around for you. You feel the need to go harder than normal to try and finish as early as possible. I know if he wasn't there it would have been much slower.
A part from some fierce competition between David and Peter at the finish it was a nice close finish for all with just enough time in between for the timekeeper to look up to see the next runner before having to mark down the time.
Jarrah has taken over 3 minutes off his PB in the last 2 weeks. Congratulations and good luck for the cross country event coming up shortly. Also good luck to Steve who is looking to run in the Geelong half marathon in a few weeks time.
PBs
Jarrah - 1 minute 35 seconds (smashed it as my kids would say)
David D - 15 seconds (I still think he has more in him)
Within 15 seconds of her PB was Lyn D.
Next run is Sunday 6 April 2014 at 7:30am. Remember it is the end of daylight savings.
All new runners are welcome.

Run 205
Sorry for the late update.
The weekend saw another great Warrandyte festival. This meant that we ran on Thursday evening. I always find it harder to run in the evening and with some slower times by all but Jarrah I think a hard day at work followed by a run definitely provides a different test.
Jarrah had a great run finishing well under the 30 minute mark and with a PB of 1 minute 40 seconds. Great work. This meant that Peter took out the win with myself and Steve not too far behind.
This weeks run is on Saturday 29 March 2014 at 7:00am. It will be a little darker than usual, however it will be good to see you there.

Run 204
It was another beautiful morning for running. Welcome to Molly who has joined us for the first time. She proved to fast over the 2k as she had to work out the course. She finished just a head of Heidi over the 2k distance. Great work girls.
For the other distances we saw Alan and Janette cross together. After handicap adjustments Alan managed to break with a PB. This let David take out the win for the morning with a perfectly timed run. David was closely followed by Paul and Jarrah.
There were some great times run as everyone kept the timekeeper on his toes.
PB
Paul K - 1 minute 4 seconds (outstanding)
David D - 1 minute
Lyn D - 13 seconds
Alan - 9 seconds
Jarrah - 7 seconds
Within 15 seconds - Peter
Next run is Thursday 20 March 2014 at 6:00pm due to the festival this weekend.
Everyone is welcome to join us.
Socks go to Alan. Thanks to Heidi who drew the lucky number this week.

Run 203
Another great morning for a run and a large turnout for the start of a long weekend.
Welcome to Tynan who ran with us for the first time this morning. With all the times and adjustments in, as we had a little hiccup with the starting of the clock (I should have gone with Jodi's calculation), we had a great finish with Atsuko breaking after a brilliant sprint to the finish. This left Jozica to finish in first across the line after the 30 minute mark. Peter was very consistent coming in second and Mark followed only a few seconds behind.
There were a number of PBs again this week, so keep running.
Due to festival in two weeks we will look to conduct run 205 on Thursday at 6:00pm if anyone is interested. You can let me know next Saturday and we can confirm in the next newsletter.
PB's
Mark - 32 seconds
Atsuka - 29 seconds
Jozica - 28 seconds
Peter - 6 seconds
Margaret - 5 seconds
Jarrah - 1 second
Alex within 15 seconds.
Next run is Saturday 15 March 2013 at 7:00am.
All new runners and walkers are welcome.

Run 202
A beautiful morning down by the river was experienced by one of our largest number of runners and walkers this season. It was great to see.
The conditions were obviously favourable to a number of participants with a few PBs and a few within 15 seconds.
Firstly I would like to say, welcome to a few new participants this morning with Heidi, David and Lyn joining us for the 2k event and setting a cracking pace for everyone else. Welcome and we hope to see you back next week.
We also saw a number of people stepping up with Mark and Paul completing the 5k run and Margaret completing the 4k run for the second time after her first run at that distance last week.
With everyone set off it was Sam on his bike that crossed the line first. He was followed by Leo and Owen C who had a courageous battle to the finish. They all broke along with Jozica who was chasing them down.
The breakers left the gates open for Jarrah to be our first participant across the line with Margaret and Dennis close behind. This was after adjustment of Jon's time who started early.
Great work by everyone this morning and congratulations to Nada for achieving the 50 run milestone.
PBs
Owen C - 1 minute 34 seconds
Leo - 1 minute 13 seconds
Jozica - 30 seconds
Margaret - 27 seconds
Within 15 seconds - Jarrah, Peter, Dennis
Next run is Saturday 8 March 2014 at 7:00am.
See you all by the river. It is great to see new faces so feel free to bring friends and family.
Rob.
