Run 333

There were 10 starters for the run this morning, with people running and walking all distances today. Margaret was back and completed the 2km course with Paul.

Caitlyn was first over the line this morning once handicaps had been added, but unfortunately she came in before the 30 minute mark and so missed out on maximum points. First over the line after the 30 minutes was Lisa, who was running well and came in just ahead on Nada.

Peter was less than 10 seconds ahead of Dennis and Jacinta was just behind them. Harrison and Tessa rounded out the field today.

There was only one person who managed to beat their personal best time this morning:
Well done Caitlyn who beat her previous 3km PB by 3 minutes and 24 seconds - great running.

No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Sunday 2 October and will be at 7:30am.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS STARTS ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING SO IT WILL BE 7:30am NEW TIME!!!**

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

Run 332

There were 11 starters running 3, 4 and 5 km distances this morning. We welcomed new runner Erin who started off with a 3 km run with Caitlyn.

Alicia took off like a rocket this morning and was running beautifully and quickly, resulting in her coming in first over the line, but before the magical 30 minute mark and that left the win to Jacinta for this week. Nada ran in well into second place just ahead of James. Caitlyn and Erin were awarded equal fourth place in their first 3 km runs.

There was a sprint finish on between Peter and Tessa, with Peter just managing to come home first. Atsuko, Dennis and Jozica rounded out the final placings for today.

There were two Personal Best times recorded today:
Nada beat her previous PB by 4 seconds,
and Alicia beat her previous best by 7 seconds.

No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB this week.

Our next run will be on Saturday 24 September at 7:30 am.

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

Run 331

The rain held off for the 12 starters to run or walk over all distances this week: 2, 3, 4 and 5km. It was great to see Emma back and running 4km this run. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the timing for us again - it really is appreciated. Steve is recovering from injury and so took the option of the 2km walk this week.

After adjustments in handicaps, the results are as follows: The first over the line after the 30 minute mark this week was Tessa, only 4 seconds ahead of Monica with James and Jozica close on their heels. Angela ran very well over the 3km course to come in fifth place and Nada's time put her in only 3 seconds behind. Emma ran her first 4km distance and came in next, just ahead of Jacinta. Paul and Atsuko were the last runners over the line today.

There was one person who ran a Personal Best time over their distance this week:
Well done Monica for taking 43 seconds off your previous 4km best time.

Three people ran within 15 seconds of their PB:
Well done to Nada, Jozica and Angela.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 17 September at 7:30am. We will continue to run all weekends at 7:30am until daylight savings changes over.

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

Final results of Season 17 were:

Run 330

Season 17 is all done and dusted and the results will be announced at the run next weekend and then put up online after that.

There were 13 starters for the run on Fathers' Day. Hope that all of the fathers in the group had a great day!


After adjustments to handicaps for people starting at different times, Jacinta was the first one over the line, followed by Angela but they were both under the 30 minute mark and so were designated as breaking. That left the first place position open for Nada and Monica and Amelia were just ahead of Harrison and James, with Paul just behind him.Jozica and Tessa came in ahead of Peter and Steve with Atsu bringing up the rear after running with Harrison.


There was one Personal Best time recorded this week:

well done Angela on taking off 4 minutes and 18 seconds from your previous best.

Two others were within 15 seconds of their PB:
Congratulations to Nada and Harrison - great running!


As there were more than 10 runners, there was a draw for a pair of socks. This week's winner was Monica.


Next week the run will be on Saturday 10 September at 7:30 am.




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



**On another note: Eilish (my daughter and sometimes WRR runner) is going to be in the Manningham Relay for Life this weekend raising money for cancer research. Her team, the Cha Cha Chicks, are hoping to raise as much money as they can toward this cause. If you would like to donate to Eilish the link is here. Thanks.
