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.

There was only one personal best time recorded this morning:
well run Robert.

And one person was within 15 seconds of their PB:
Congratulations to Atsuko.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 12 May at 7:30 am.

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

The lucky number for the socks draw this week was 11 - so congratulations to Jozica.
