It was a humid morning after the rain and thunder from last night, but that didn't stop 14 people coming down to run along the banks of the Yarra in beautiful Warrandyte this morning. We welcome Georgia to the group this morning for her first run with us and hope to see her again. Thanks to Steve for doing the timekeeping duties this morning.
First over the line today was Louanna, but unfortunately she ran too quickly and beat the 30 minute mark by 1 second. That means she was a breaker this morning which left the win for today to Renee with her second win for the season. Georgia managed to come in second place ahead of Paul who nudged out Atsuko by three seconds. Tessa was in fifth position today in a sprint finish with Adrienne. Peter was next ahead of Nada and Jozica. Caitlyn and Harrison walked quite a bit of the 3 km distance today and were the last two home in the longer distances. Over the 2 km distance, Jon had arrived late and so only ran the shorter distance and Jacinta ran/walked 2 km this morning.
There were 2 people who managed a personal best time today over their chosen distance. Congratulations to:
Louanna, who beat her previous PB by 10 seconds and,
Renee, who managed to take 1 minute and 31 seconds off her previous 5 km best time.
Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on Sunday 3 December at 7:30 am.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 392
It was great to see 20 starters down early for the run this morning, including newcomer, Robert, who was welcomed today. It was a warm morning and great conditions for the new time of 7:00 am. Thanks also to James for doing the time-keeping duties today, and good luck with the Marysville marathon tomorrow.
In the non-handicapped 2 km distance this morning there were six runners: Catherine, Elizabeth, Robert, Caitlyn, Harrison and Margaret. Well run to everyone. In the longer, handicapped, sections it was a very tight finish with the first 6 people over the line within a 40 second period. The race was taken out today by Atsuko who continues to run well this season. She just pipped Nada in the home straight, who was followed closely by Tessa and Adrienne. Louanna was only seconds behind and just ahead of Jacinta. Michael and Sophia ran the 3 km course for the first time and therefore had their handicaps adjusted accordingly and managed to come in seventh place. Jozica and Monica were next and again within 3 seconds of each other. Paul, Steve, Amelia and Peter rounded out the field for today.
Atsuko has managed 4 wins this season and is sitting well clear on the leaderboard at the moment, but with only our top ten runs for a season being counted towards your consistency total, it is still possible for others to come through and challenge her for the top spot.
There were 3 Personal best times run today:
Atstuko managed to beat her previous 5 km PB by seconds,
Elizabeth took another seconds off her 2 km PB, and
Catherine beat her previous 2 km best by seconds
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 18 November at 7:00 am.

Monica has offered to organise an end-of-year celebration, and has suggested we get together at "The Night Owl" (wine, tapas & live music acts) at Goldfields Plaza Shopping Centre on Friday 1 December from 7:00 pm. If you can join us for a meal or just for a drink, please RSVP to Monica on 0408 520 303.

Run 391
There were 8 starters for the run on Sunday this week with several people away for the "long" weekend. Atsuko had planned to run 3 km with Harrison, but when she noticed James was there, decided that she needed to run a 5 km to stay in touch with top position on the table.
Margaret ran 2 km this week and was the only person running the shorter distance. In the longer distances, Jon ran the 3 km course and managed to come in before the 30 minute mark, which left the win open. Atsuko timed the run beautifully coming in at just after the 30 minute mark for another win for this season. Nada was in second place, only 10 seconds behind, with Renee and James taking out third and fourth position. Jacinta and Harrison were the final runners over the line this morning.
There were two personal best times this week:
Well run Jon, who took 49 seconds off his PB and
Atsuko took 5 seconds off her PB.
No one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on SATURDAY 11 November at 7:00 am - please note the change in time for Summer.
