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!

The run next week will be on Saturday 23 July at 7:30 am.

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