Run 213

It was a little cooler for the run after a slightly warmer week, however that didn't stop everyone from getting out for a run.

This week saw Alex sneak up on Steve right before the line. Steve had to run hard to fend him off, winning by the barest of margins. It would have been 100ths of seconds if we timed to that level. Unfortunately we don't and Steve took out the win a head of Alex and Paul.

Alex is in training for his Cross Country this week. Good Luck.

Lewis competed in his Cross Country recently coming 3rd which is a great effort.

There were 2 PBs
Alex - 11 seconds
Steve - 4 seconds

Next run is Saturday 31 May 2014 at 7:30am.

All new runners and walkers welcome.

Run 212

Thank you to Steve and Peter for doing the time keeping.

It was a beautiful morning and made even better as we celebrated with the winners of season 13. There was special mention of 10 new runners that joined us last season, welcome, and also of Nada and Alex achieving their 50 runs and Marianne who achieved 100 runs. Great effort.

This left us to mention the winners with Peter taking out top spot, closely followed by Margaret. For the kids event there was Jarrah taking out the consistency honours and Alex as the runner up. Not to mention last seasons winner Caitlin came in a close third.

This week kept the time keepers on their toes as they set everyone off at a nice leisurely pace and then kicked back to catch up on the week's happenings. The runners had other ideas though as 4 came in within a second of each other. (1 started earlier and was adjusted to their normal start time if you are looking at the results). The rest of the field not far behind. The handicaps obviously work.

This meant for the close finish that Jarrah was first across the line, followed by Jon, Alex and myself.

It was fun this morning so thank you to everyone.

Next run is Saturday 24 May 2014 at 7:30am.

Everyone is welcome.

Run 211

Well the Saturday before Mother's day saw a very wet morning that kept a number of people indoors. The rain did stop part way through the run though which was nice.

It was therefore easy points for the three of us that showed up and actually ran. We had slightly slower times due to the wet conditions which is expected.

After a mass start and handicap adjustments Dennis took out first place, closely followed by myself and then Nada. All podium finishers.

I want to wish all the Mum's a happy Mother's Day and hopefully you are pampered beyond all expectations. Start the day with breakfast in bed and finish it with a glass of bubbly. If you get a run in all and good otherwise rest days are just as important. Enjoy.

I have been told the medals, etc will be ready early next week, so we will be doing the presentations on Saturday 17 May for season 13 so I hope to see you all there. 

Next run is Saturday 17 May 2014 at 7:30am. Presentations will follow the run.

Have a great week.

Run 210

This was the first run of season 14, with our new winter timeslot.

With David breaking under the 30 minute mark this allowed the ladies to dominate the top 3 spots with Nada taking out first place ahead of Atsuko and Jozica.

It was good to see Lou back and with us for another season. For the 2k event Lyn was first back across the line with Alex finishing next across the line. Well Done.

There were a few PBs listed below.

Alex F - 3 minutes 39 seconds

Hope to see you all there next weekend.
