Run 404

There were 16 starters this week, including three new runners. We welcome to the group Kieran, Cormack and Evie and hope to see you running with us again. Thanks to Nada for running early and keeping the times this week. Thanks again to Quinton's Supa IGA for providing a box of fruit each week.

Margaret was the only person to take on the shorter course this week and she continues to run consistently over the 2 km distance. In the longer (handicapped) distances there were two people who came in before the 30 minute mark this week, breaking and not getting the maximum points, Tahlia and Randall. This left the win open for Monica, who managed a beautifully timed run and came in just 6 seconds after the 30 minute mark. Only seconds behind her was Jacinta. Paul just kept ahead of Peter and Atsuko. New runners, Kieran, Cormack and Evie all had a handicap added to bring them in at the 31 minute mark in 6th position. Nada was next, just ahead of Adrienne. Tessa, Jozica and Harrison rounded out the field today.

There were three personal best times recorded this morning:
Monica beat her previous 5 km PB by 24 seconds,
Randall was 40 seconds ahead of his previous PB time, and
Tahlia took a massive 1 minute and 17 seconds off her PB.

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

We have decided to reinstate the raffle draw for a pair of socks, and Jozica drew out number 11. The 11th person on the list this week is Nada - congratulations on winning a pair of socks!

Next week the run will be on Saturday 17 February at 7:00 am.

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