Run 265

It was an enormous turnout for this week's run. We had a total of 18 runners and walkers, which is the most we have had in a single week for a long time. Monica did an amazing job of keeping people on track at the start line and taking their times at the end of the run.

With so many people running, it turned out to be quite a close finish. No-one could catch up to Trudy, who stormed home well before the 30 minute mark. It looks like she has been working out down near Port Fairy and is running very well. We hope she can find some time soon to come back and run again.

Pete tried valiantly to catch up to her, overtaking many runners after the final turn-around, but eventually managed to come in 2nd place behind Steve who had to run early and timed his run very well. Jozica, Paul and Tessa all managed to come in within about 15 seconds of each other.

There was one Personal Best:
Trudy beat her previous PB by an amazing 1 minute 40 seconds.

And 3 runners managed to get within 15 seconds of their PB:
Peter, Jozica and Tessa.

Well done to all runners this week. We hope to see you back again soon.

After the run, we presented the awards for Season 16. With a small field for the season, the places were all up for grabs. Monica had the best average for the season, scoring 13.2 points points per run. Caitlin picked up the kids award and took home the trophy for that section again.

In the adults section, it was a tough run to the finish line and Peter managed to come in second place for the season with a total of 93 points from his best ten runs. But the winner of the season was Jozica with a total of 123 points from her best ten runs, which included 4 wins. A fabulous effort and congratulations go to Joz.

Our next run will be on Saturday 30 May at 7:30 am and we look forward to seeing another big field of runners.

New runners and walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Cheers,

Paul
