The run on Saturday was our last run for this season and for the year. We had a mass start as is the custom for the last run, and the results will be uploaded after the presentation next year. Thanks to Nada for coming along (in her boot) and doing the timing, hopefully you will be back running very soon.
The results of the week before (run 448) are now on the website below. There were 10 starters for the run which saw Cormick and Randall break, leaving the win open for Peter. Atsuko was in second place, only one second ahead of Paul/ Kieran was next over the line followed by Nada and Jon. Jacinta and Monica were the last people over the line.
There were two personal best times recorded:
Cormick was 30 seconds ahead of his previous PB, and
Randall was 38 seconds faster than his best time.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
A reminder that there will be no run on the weekend between Christmas and New Year. The next run is scheduled for 5 January 2019 at 7:30 am.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Run 447
It was a warm morning after a bit of rain to increase the humidity before 11 starters set out for the run on Saturday morning. Thanks to Jacinta for being the timekeeper this week. It was good to see James back after some much longer runs interstate.
Alicia was the first person back across the line today, but she came in 11 seconds before the 30 minute mark and has broken this week. That left the win open for Randall again this week - his fifth win for the season - and sees him well positioned on the top of the consistency ladder. Second place was taken out by Atsuko, only one second ahead of Paul with Matthew not too far behind. Genevieve ran well into fifth place this week with Peter hot on her heels. Nada, James, Jacinta and Adrienne rounded out the field.
There were two personal best times recorded this week:
Randall beat his previous PB by 4 seconds, and
Alicia was 12 seconds ahead of her best time.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB this week.
Next week the run will be on Sunday 16 December at 7:30 am as there is another Warrandyte Community Market on Saturday.
We will be having a BBQ after the run on Sunday, so come along and join us for an end-of-year celebration.

Adrienne came in second place with Jacinta and Jozica the last places in the longer distances. In the 2 km course Mathis was first home, followed by Harrison and Louanna.
There were no personal best times today, and one person managed to come within 15 seconds of their PB:

There were 15 people running along the river this morning. It was good to see James back with us again this week. Thanks to Jacinta for running early and doing the timings.
Two people took on the shorter (2 km) course today: Jacinta and Paul. In the longer distances, it was James who came over the line first, followed by Catherine, but they we're both too quick, coming in before the 30 minute mark. That left the win open for Atsuko - her third win for the season and takes her to the top of the leaderboard for this season. Renee was in second place just ahead of Henry and Robert, with Tessa only seconds back. Daniel managed sixth place this week ahead of his brother and sister, Matthew and Rachel.

Run 424
It was another cold morning that saw 12 people start out in the weekly run along the bank of the Yarra River in Warrandyte this week. Thanks to Peter for coming along and doing the timekeeping this week.
Three people took a walk along the river bank today, Louanna, Mark and Rachel. Everyone else ran in the longer distances (3, 4 or 5 km). After handicaps were added on to some of the times, it was Li-Ern who was first over the line this week in her second run with us. She came in before the 30 minute mark and so has been listed as a breaker for this week, leaving the win open for Nada in a near-perfectly timed run. Adrienne ran into second place this week. Jacinta was only seconds ahead of Paul and Daniel. Matthew was in sixth position, with Jozica and Tess rounding out the field.
There was only one person who managed to beat their previous personal best time for their chosen distance this week:

Run 416
It was a chilly morning that saw 19 starters in the run along the Yarra today for the first run of the new season. Welcome to Matthew who ran for the first time with us this morning. Thanks to Peter for coming along to do the time keeping this week. Several people chose to run new distances and at different times to their handicap, so Peter was kept on his toes for the starting. It also meant that there were quite a few groups coming in close together and the final times were also tricky to manage, but he did a great job.
After the handicaps had been added in to runs and adjustments made Robert ends up being the first over the line, but he had run too quickly coming in nearly a minute before the 30 minute mark and breaking this week. That left the win to Atsuko in another great run. Matthew, Randall and Mark all ran the 4 km distance together for the first time this week and so ended up on 31 minutes in second place. Dennis was only one second behind them, and Daniel was six seconds back. Cormick, Henry and Kieran were in another group coming in within ten seconds of each other, and just ahead of Jozica. Catherine was next over the line, followed by Paul, Louanna and Tessa within 7 seconds. Amelia and Monica rounded out the field for the longer runs. Only one person took on the shorter 2 km distance this morning - well run Harrison.

It was a warm but dark morning for the start of the run along the banks of the Yarra today. There were 18 starters all up and thanks to Jacinta for keeping the times for us today.
In the 2 km section, we had two starters in Harrison and Jacinta (after the main run). For the longer. handicapped section it seemed that people were heading out quickly this morning. Three people went too quick and came in before the 30 minute mark: Louanna, Mark and Elizabeth. That means that the first person over the lie ofter 30 minutes was Nada, giving her her first win for this season. Daniel was in a close second and Cormick, Kieran and Atsuko were not far behind. Rob was next in, ahead of Paul, Tessa, Henry and Jozica. Catherine, Peter and Jon rounded out the field.
There were four Personal Best times recorded today:
Louanna beat her previous 4km PB by 1 minute and 35 seconds
Mark beat his previous best time by 49 seconds
Elizabeth beat her PB by 1 minute and 3 seconds, and
Daniel beat his PB by 1 second.
and Two people were within 15 seconds of their PB:

Run 409
This week saw the run along the Yarra on Thursday night as we were expecting the Warrandyte Festival to be on the weekend (but that's a different story). There were 13 starters for the run this week and we welcomed new runner Caitlin to the group.
In the 2 km event, Jacinta was first over the line, followed by Caitlin and Randall.

That left the win to be taken out by Renee, who came in just ahead of Atsuko and Monica. James was not too far behind in fourth place. Peter and Sandi finished within one second of each other and Nada was only seconds behind them. Elizabeth and Amelia were the last runners over the line.
There were two people who managed to run faster than their personal best times today and no one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Well done to Catherine for taking 56 seconds off your previous 3 km PB,

Run 407
Because of the market on Saturday this weekend and Run Warrandyte on Sunday morning, the run this week was held on Thursday evening and saw 12 people running 2, 3, 4 or 5 km.
Only one runner took to the 2 km course this week in Jacinta. In the longer distances, times were very quick, with Daniel, Cormick and Kieran all coming in before the 30 minute mark and registering as a break for this week. That left the win to be taken out by Peter in a beautifully timed run, coming in only seconds after 30 minutes. Randall was in second place (and currently sits in second on the consistency table for this season as well), just ahead of Mark. Several people running new distances were Robert, Elizabeth and Catherine so they all registered a 31 minute time this week Nada and Monica were just behind them.
A reminder about the consistency table: only your best 10 runs from a season can count towards your tally for that season.
There were five Personal Best times tonight:
Randall took another 12 seconds off his previous best,
Mark took 30 seconds off his PB,
Cormick was 1 minute and 2 seconds faster than his previous best,
Kieran was 1 minute and 9 seconds ahead of his best pace, and
Daniel took an amazing 2 minutes and 56 off his previous PB.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
