Run 334

It was a lovely morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra and we were lucky enough to see a wombat run across the path just down from the start/finish line right before we started the clock this morning.

There were 11 starters for the run this morning with people running each of the distances on offer: 2, 3, 4 and 5 km.

With a few adjustments for handicaps at the end of the race the results were very close this morning. Margaret and Ed had taken off from scratch to run the 2 km course, and both ran very well with Margaret cutting a minute iff her time from last week.

In the main competition Catilyn continued to improve her times and came in well before the 30 minute mark and so broke this morning. There was a group who all ran in just after 30 minutes, and they were led across the line by Peter who took out the win. He was followed very closely by Monica and Amelia who took out equal second place, and Angela ran in just behind them.

Harrison stepped up to the 4 km course for the first time this week and has achieved a time just ahead of Nada. Jacinta and Atsuko rounded out the field for today.

There were four personal best times recorded this morning. Congratulations to:
Angela, who beat her previous best time by 1 second,
Monica and Amelia, who both managed a 35 second increase on their PB, and
Caitlyn, who took a massive 2 minutes and 35 seconds off her previous time.

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

Next week the run will be on Saturday 8 October at 7:00am.

**PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER TIME FOR SATURDAY RUNS NOW THAT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS HAS STARTED.**

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