Run 294

With only 8 runners/walkers showing up there was a chance at points for everyone and Steve chose to walk 2km today as he is still getting over his hamstring strain.

First over the line today was Peter, closely followed by Jacinta. Jessica was running well and managed third place. Dennis managed to beat Paul by 5 seconds and Jon and Tessa rounded out the field taking on the longer distances.

There was only the one PB this week being Jacinta who beat her previous best at the 3km distance by 10 seconds.

There is a Warrandyte Christmas Market on by the river next Saturday so the run will be on SUNDAY 20 December and will be the last run of the season. Because it is the last run it will be a MASS START with everyone beginning their run at 7:30am. Please try to make sure you are there for the start.

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

Run 293

There were 15 runners on Sunday, including the "founders" of the group - welcome back to Jodi and Rob who were down from Queensland for the weekend. It was great to see you.

Thanks to Atsuko for doing the timing this morning - I think it got a little hectic at times.

Jacinta was first over the line today in a personal best time, so she picked up the maximum 20 points. Nada, Niels, Lisa and Cam were all within only 6 seconds of Jacinta's time. Tessa and Emma were 14 seconds back and Rob was just behind them. The next group in was led by Peter, followed by Dennis, Paul and Jozica.

Jodi had her finish time adjusted, due to leaving early and ended up just behind Jozica. Alicia and Steve also had adjusted finish times.

There were two Personal Best times recorded today:
Jacinta beat her previous best by 1 second and
Emma ran 4 seconds faster than her previous best.

Three people were within 15 seconds of their PB:
Niels, Lisa and Cam.

Well done to everyone.

After the run, most of us went to the Warrandyte Cafe for an end-of-year breakfast and a chance to sit down and chat.

The run next week is on Saturday 12 December at 7:00am.

There are only two more runs for the current season, and we will not run between Christmas and the New Year.

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