It was a beautiful clear morning that greeted the six runners/walkers this morning. Thanks again to Jacinta for coming along to do the time-keeping duties this week.
In the shorter distance, there were only two people: Paul running and Rachel walking. In the longer distances, it was Tony over the line first this morning, with Monica not too far behind. Atsuko took out third place and Nada was last over the line.
No-one managed a personal best time, but Tony was within 15 seconds of his PB.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 23 November at 7:00 am.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 494
After a wild, wet and windy night it turned out to be blue skies and lovely weather (if a little brisk) for the run along the Yarra this morning. Thanks again to Jacinta for coming along to do the time-keeping duties today.
There were only two people taking on the shorter, 2 km, distance today: Paul and Steve. In the longer, handicapped distances it was Alicia over the line first followed closely by Sandi, but they had both run too quickly coming in before the 30 minute mark and were classified as breaking today. That left the win open for Nada, giving her a second win for this season and jumping her to second on the leaderboard for this season. Monica came in second and holds her top position on the consistency ladder. James took on the 6 km distance this morning for the first time and has been awarded third place ahead on Hayden. Adrienne came in fifth with Atsuko in sixth place and Jozica was last over the line today.
There were two personal best times recorded today:
Alicia took 1 minute and 15 seconds off her previous 5 km best time, and
Sandi came in 1 minute and 22 seconds ahead of her best time for the 4 km distance.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB this week.
After the run we went to breakfast at Now and Not Yet in Warrandyte to celebrate another year of Warrandyte River Runners. At the breakfast we celebrated the achievement of Jozica on reaching her 200th run with the group and awarded Steve his chocolates for his 200th last week.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 16 November at 7:00 am.

This week's random number was 3, meaning that Nada wins the socks today.
