Run 208 and Season Final Run 209

I hope everyone had a great Easter and Anzac Day weekend.

Run 208 saw a great turnout for the start of the school holidays. Everyone trying to gain some bonus points before getting into those wonderful chocolate eggs. Well what else do we run for chocolate and wine.

The run saw a couple of very good times with Jon taking out the win along with a PB of 19 seconds. He was closely followed by Paul who also ran a PB of 13 seconds. Third for the day was Nada. We also had Chantelle and Alex join us for the 2k with a very talkative German Shepherd.

With a break in between, Run 209 saw the end to our 13th season. We had a mass start and after all the handicap calculations Jarrah broke yet again with another PB, leaving yours truly to take out the win. Thanks for letting me take one out. I was followed closely by Caitlin and Atsuko.

This means that Peter takes out another season with Margaret taking out second place. She did this after stepping up to the 4k distance and incurring the additional handicap for the first few runs. Well done to our first and second placers. For the kids points well done to Jarrah who picks up the first place after becoming a regular.

Congratulations and we will organise the presentations in a couple of weeks when the medals and trophy are ready.

PBs
Jarrah - 48 seconds

Next run is Sunday 4 May 2014 at the new time of 8:00am due to the markets and change to winter times. The next run will be the start of the new winter season - 14.

Hope to see you all there.

Rob.

Socks for run 208 went to Stephen G.

Run 207

With only 2 runs left for the season there wasn't much change at the top of the table even with the absence of a few key people.

It was good to see a number of people out an about and after a little confusion with the time due to daylight savings we managed a beautiful morning of running.

Steve had a great run as he leads up to the half marathon in Geelong in a couple of weeks. He took out the win after Janette broke. Nada was not far behind and after the time adjustment due to an earlier start Alan took out the third placing.

Both Alan and Janette are heading overseas in a few months to talk about their achievements on a strictly RAW Vegan diet. It has been a great inspiration having them join us and a great achievement to be asked to present at the event. Well done.

Alan was the only one within 15 seconds of his PB.

The next run is on Saturday 12 April 2014 at 7:00am. We will have a break on the Easter Weekend as everyone refuels for the final run of the season the following week.

Remember everyone is welcome.
