Run 368

There were 9 starters running over all of the distances on offer (2, 3, 4 and 5 km) this week. Thanks to Peter for doing the timing this week.

Atsuko had a perfectly timed run, coming in just after the 30 minute mark and winning the points for first place this week. Alicia was back again and ran well to take out second place, ahead of Nada who drew for third place with Jacinta who took on the 3km distance. Peter was in fifth place just one second ahead of Paul, who was just in front of Helen. Tessa finished off the runners in the longer distances. Harrison walked the 2 km distance with his broken arm.

There was one person within 15 seconds of their personal best time this week:
well done to Atsuko.

No-one else ran their PB this week.

Next week the run will be on SUNDAY 4 June at 7:30 due to the Warrandyte Market on Saturday.

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

Run 367

There were 8 runners starting out on the 3, 4 and 5 km courses this week. Thanks to Peter for doing the timings.

Caitlyn took off like a rocket and ended up being first over the line this week, but she went too quickly and came in before the 30 minute mark, so missed out on maximum points. The first person in after the 30 minute mark and therefore winner for this week was Angela. Atsuko raced through the course to come in second and Steve ran into third place. Nada and Tessa were within one second of each other, with Nada managing to just take the lead. Jacinta and Paul rounded out the runners for this week.

There were two personal best times recorded this week:
Well done Caitlyn who took 45 seconds off her previous PB, and
Angela who took 15 seconds off her previous PB.

After the run, we had the awarding of the trophies, prizes and ribbons for last season. In the junior section, the winner was Harrison and second place went to Amelia - great running, guys. In the open section, the winner for Season 22 was Nada, and the runner up was Jacinta.

This week the run will be on Saturday 27 May at 7:30 am.

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

Run 366

There were 9 starters by the river for the 366th run of the Warrandyte River Runners. Thanks to Steve for doing the timings this morning.

Ed and Louanna took off on the 2 km course this morning and both ran very well, with Ed coming in first. In the longer distances several people took off at times other than their handicaps and had to have the ties adjusted accordingly. After the correct handicaps were added, it turned out that Nada had won the points for today, closely followed by Atsuko. Jon managed to come in third place. Paul was a little way back and then came Jacinta, Tessa and Peter.

No-one managed to run a personal best time today over their chosen distance, but Nada was within 15 seconds of her PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 20 May at 7:30 am.

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