It was a bit chilly down by the river this morning for the weekly run along the banks of the Yarra, but seven people started out to run 2, 3, 4 or 5 km. A big "Thank you" to Atsuko for coming down to do the timing even though she didn't run this morning and welcome back to Harrison.
Nada took off quickly and no-one was able to catch her this morning, eventually running in to first place coming in just after the 30 minute mark for maximum points. Paul started running 5 km, but stopped at the 3 km mark and his time put him in second place this morning. James continues to run strongly and came in third today, just ahead of Jozica, with Tessa and Jacinta finishing out the field in the major competition. Harrison ran the 2 km course.
There were two Personal Best times recorded this morning:
Well done to Harrison who took 2:22 off his previous best 2 km time, and
Nada took a further 4 seconds off her PB over the 5 km course.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.
The next run will be on Saturday 30 July at 7:30 am.

Runs 322 and 323
Hi all,
Sorry I didn't get the chance to update the details last week, so here are two weeks worth of results:
Run 322
It was great to see 11 starters for the run this morning with people out running the 2, 3, 4 and 5 km courses and quite a few out fast!
First over the line was Jon, who came in just before the 30 minute mark and just ahead of Atsuko who also broke this morning. That left the winning spot to James to be the first over the line after 30 minutes. He narrowly beat Nada home with Paul coming in next, having to put on a burst of speed at the end to avoid Jozica overtaking him. Alicia was next home after running the 4 km course and Jacinta was only ten seconds behind her. Steve and Tessa were within 1 second of each other at the end of the field.
Thanks again to Peter, who ran his 2 km distance early so that he could do the timings for us again this morning. It is very much appreciated.
The consistency results are looking very close, now, with James and Nada on equal points in the lead. Congratulations to Tessa on your 50th run with the River Runners. Keep up the good work.
There was one Personal Best time recorded this morning, with James taking 7 seconds off his previous 5 km best time. Well done.
One other person ran within 15 seconds of their PB. Congratulations to Jon.
Since their were more than 10 people, there was a random draw for a pair of socks, and the socks this week went to Atsuko.
Run 323
There were 9 people competing for points in today's run, and with 6 people coming in in under 31:30 it was quite a close finish. People are starting to hit the 10 run mark for the season, so it is worth noting again that only your best 10 runs can count towards your consistency total for the season.
James had a perfectly timed run, bringing him in just after the magical 30 minute mark and earning him maximum points for this week. Tessa blitzed the 4 km course this week coming in second place, narrowly ahead of Nada. Atsuko raced past Paul in the final section of the course, coming in 4th and Paul was not too far behind, holding off a concerted effort by Jozica just behind him. Steve was next over the line, just holding out Peter and Jacinta.
Thanks again go to Peter for doing the timing this morning and we hope that you have a great trip.
There was one Personal best time for this week. Congratulations to James, who has taken another 25 seconds off his PB.
One other person was within 15 seconds of their PB, well done Nada!

Run 321
With only four starters this morning there was the opportunity to pick up lots of points for this run. Because there were so few people, we decided to all take off together instead of using the handicaps, and Peter had run early and did the timings for today's run - thanks.
Nada was running well and took was very hard to catch, resulting in her winning today's run. Her second win for the season and putting her within two points of Jozica. It looks like it might be a tight competition this season.
Peter had run out fast again over the 3 km track and managed a second place, running a little quicker than Paul over the 5 km distance who came in third place. Jacinta ran the 4 km track this morning and was last over the finish line.
Well done to all.
The next run will be on Saturday 9 July at 7:30 am.
