It was a beautiful morning for a run or walk along the banks of the river in Warrandyte. It was great to see 13 starters this morning and thanks to Nada for running early and then doing the timekeeping today.
Renee was off like a flash today and ran the 3km course, coming in before the 30 minute mark and breaking today. This left the win open to the kids with Will coming in first, closely followed by Caitlyn. Coming in close on their heels were Paul in third place, just managing to hold off James, who was coming home strongly, by one second, and just ahead of Angela. We really kept the timekeeper on her toes today!
Atsuko was not too far back in sixth position and just ahead of Nada. Adrienne, Jozica, Peter and Tessa rounded out the field in the longer distances. Jacinta walked the 2 km course in good time.
There were two runners who ran a personal best time for their chosen distances this morning:
Will beat his previous PB by 27 seconds, and
Renee beat her previous Pb by a whopping 3 minutes 35 seconds - amazing running!
Three others were within 15 seconds of their personal best times:
Well run to James, Angela and Caitlyn.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 30 September at 7:30am.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 384
It was very wet underfoot this morning (and even hailed on Nada when she ran early so she could do the timing this week - thanks!!) but that didn't stop 11 people coming down for the weekly run along the Yarra River.
Amelia ran 2 km again this week while Jacinta walked the same distance. In the longer distances, James was first over the line after the 30 minute mark, earning himself some good points. Atsuko came in second place, not too far behind him. The next four runners were all within 14 seconds of each other. Monica managed third place just ahead of Nada, and Adrienne managed to beat Paul by just one second. Jozica came in seventh place today. Steve and Peter rounded out the field this morning.
No-one managed a personal best time this morning, but one person was within 15 seconds of their personal best:
Well done Amelia for the second week in a row.
Atsuko is sitting on top of the consistency ladder early in this season, just ahead of James.

Run 383
It was great to see 14 starters in the run last weekend. It was a very special presentation after the run as we congratulated Tessa on reaching her 100th run and Nad joined only two other people to have managed to reach 200 runs. Congratulations to both runners on a fabulous effort over the last years to get to this stage.
In the run itself, three people took off on the 2 km course and Amelia was first back over the line, followed by Louanna and Jacinta who was walking this week.
For the longer distances, Renee ran her first 3 km event and managed to be the first over the line after the 30 minute mark, only seconds ahead of Atsuko. James came in third this week in a good run ahead of Jozica. Paul was back to running the longer distances and managed a 5th position over 3 km. Nada was next only 2 seconds ahead of Monica. Peter managed to beat home Adrienne, Harrison and Tessa.
There was nobody who managed a personal best time over their chosen distance this week, and one person was within 15 seconds of their PB:
Well run, Amelia.
We presented the "Rob and Jodi Clark" trophy for the winner of last season - well done (again) Nada, and the runner up last season was Atsuko. Great running from both ladies during the Winter season.
In the under 18 section, the winner of last season was Tessa with the runner up being Alicia.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 16 September at 7:30 am.

Run 382
It was quite a warm morning this morning for a run before going home and making or having breakfast with the family for Fathers' Day. There were 12 starters in the run this morning with runners in each of the distances on offer (2, 3, 4 or 5km) and we welcomed a new runner to the group in Sara. It was great to see her there and we will hopefully see her again. Thanks to Nada who ran early and then acted as the time-keeper for us this week.
Atsuko took off like a rocket this morning and was the first runner back over the finish line after the 30 minute mark once handicaps had been adjusted for. She managed to come in just ahead of Sara and Nada. Renee continues to run well and managed to come in fourth place today, just two seconds ahead of Dennis. Monica and Jacinta were next over the line, with Peter and Tessa rounding out the longer distances. Over the 2km course, Amelia came home first, followed by Paul and Louanna.
There was no-one who ran their personal best time over their selected distance this week, and only one runner was within 15 seconds of their PB:
Well run Amelia.
Nest week the run will be on Saturday 9 September at 7:30am.
