Run 307

With only 4 runners able to make it on Thursday evening, it was decided to run a massed start. After adjusting for handicaps, Peter came in first on this hot and humid evening.

Steve ran well into second place and Nada and Jacinta rounded out the field.

There were no personal best times and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Due to Easter this weekend, there will not be a run, so everyone please enjoy the time with your loved ones.

We will run again on SUNDAY 3 April at 7:30am.

New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any time during the season.

run 306

We had 11 starters for this morning's run and it was a lovely day for a run along the Yarra.

Nada took off like a rocket, overtaking those who were in front of her and taking out first place for the day and regaining her spot on top of the leader board for this season. Cath and Peter (once his handicap was added on) were next over the line. Jozica was involved in another tight finish this week, this time just edging out Jacinta by 1 second, with Lisa not too far behind.

Jon continues to run consistently and came in 1 second before Tessa - another close call. Unfortunately, I had a fall on the initial leg, so only completed the 3 km course today. After Alicia's handicap was adjusted she has ended up in tenth position. Leanne walked the 2 km course today.

People are starting to hit the 10 run mark for this season and should remember that only your top ten runs will count towards your total points.

No-one ran a personal best time today or was within 15 seconds.

The run next week will be on THURSDAY evening at 6:30pm as the Warrandyte Festival will be held all of next weekend. We look forward to seeing whoever can make it then.

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

Run 305

Congratulations to all of the runners who completed the Run Warrandyte event on Sunday morning. Because of this event, we ran on Thursday evening this week which was certainly a change for us all.

We welcomed back Tarryn who hasn't run with us for quite a while, and she completed the 3 km course.

Atsuko started out on the 5 km course, but stopped after 3 km and so her handicap was adjusted accordingly, and she has ended up taking out the run for the evening. There was a great sprint finish between Paul and Jozica, with Paul managing to hold her off by just 1 second! Peter's run brought him in at 4th place, just ahead of both Tessa and Nada.

Well run to everyone in the heat of the evening.

There was only one person within 15 seconds of their personal best time:
well run Atsuko.

No-one ran a personal best time this week.

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

Our next run will be on Saturday 12 March at 7:00am.

Advance warning that there will be another THURSDAY evening run in the following week due to the Warrandyte Festival which will take place all weekend on 19 and 20 March so the run will be on 17 March at 6:30pm.

Run 304

It was a quiet weekend with only 7 starters for the runs. Two people running 3 km and the rest running 5 km.

Steve took out the line honours and has jumped to the top of the consistency table. He was closely followed by Nada who is also a close second in consistency points.

Jozica continues to run well and managed to beat home Atsuko. Peter and Jon had a close finish in times and Tessa rounded out the day.

There were no runners with a PB or within 15 seconds of their PB this week.

Our next run is on THURSDAY EVENING as Run Warrandyte will be happening on Sunday. We will run at 6:30pm. Hope to see you there.

Paul
