On a slightly colder morning there were 8 starters in the run or walk along the banks of the Yarra River this morning. Thanks to Jacinta for continuing to do the time-keeping duties, and thanks as always to Quintons SUPA IGA for the fruit that they provide each week.
Jacinta was the only person completing the 2 km distance this morning. In the longer distances, it was Hayden who was first over the line this morning (once handicaps had been added), just nine seconds ahead of Jon. Monica came in third with Paul in fourth place today, only one second ahead of Nada. Jozica and Matthew were last over the line.
There was one personal best time recorded this morning:
Jon took 23 seconds off his time from last week for the 6 km distance.
One other person managed to run within 15 seconds of their PB:
well run Monica.
We congratulated Cinnamon for her 200th run this morning.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 29 February at 7:00 am.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

There was only a small group of 5 people for the run or walk along the banks of the Yarra this week.
In the 2 km distance, there were two walkers: Stephen and Jacinta. In the longer distances, Nada was first over the line after her 5 km run, Jon ran his first 6 km distance and came in second and James ran 6 km and was in third place.
Stephen was the only person to have a Personal Best time recorded this week taking 5 minutes off his previous best.
It was Nada's 300th run with the group and Jon's 200th run. Congratulations to both runners on a fabulous effort!
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Run 506
It was an eerie feel along the banks of the Yarra this morning. There was fog/smoke/mist/haze reducing visibility and thousands of termites flying through the haze. That didn't stop 11 people coming down to run or walk, though.
In the 2 km distance, we had four people: Tessa was first back, followed by Jozica and then Rachel and Mark walking together. In the longer distances, first place went to Jon (and Cinnamon) in a beautifully timed run. Monica ran well into second place with Hayden not far behind and Nada in fourth. Paul managed fifth and Matthew and Adrienne were the last runners over the line.
There were no personal best times recorded today, but one person ran within 15 seconds of their PB:
Well done Monica.

Run 505
After a week of very hot weather it was great to have a cooler morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra in Warrandyte today. Thanks again to Jacinta for coming down to do the timing for us and thanks to Quinton's SUPA IGA for providing the fruit as always.
Sandi was first over the line again today, but continues to improve her times and was again just before the 30 minute mark. That left another win open for Monica, her third of the season so far! Hayden ran well into second place and James was only seconds behind him. Nada was in fourth spot and Paul and Atsuko fought it out for fifth and sixth respectively. Alicia, Jon and Amelia were the last runners to come in today.
There were two personal best times recorded today:
Sandi continues to improve and took another 40 seconds off her PB, and
Monica took 21 seconds off her previous best time.
One other person was within 15 seconds of their PB:
well run James.
Congratulations to James for his 50th run with the group. We also presented the awards for last season. In the Kids' section first place was taken out by Matthew with 89 points from 7 runs, and second place went to Alicia with 55 points from 6 runs. In the senior division first place was Monica with 106 points from 11 runs and second place went Nada with 73 points from 13 runs.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 8 February at 7:00 am.

Run 504
It was great to have 10 people down for the run along the banks of the Yarra last week. The weather was good for us and there were some good times for today's run.
There was only one person running the 2 km distance: well done Amelia. In the longer, handicapped, distances, first over the line was Adrienne, but she came in well before the 30 minute mark and recorded a break this week. That left the win open for Monica, who was only seconds ahead of James in second place, with Hayden third. Nada managed fourth place ahead of Atsuko. Paul came in sixth ahead of Jon and Tessa was last over the line.
There were two personal best times recorded this week:
James took 24 seconds off his PB for the 6 km distance, and
Adrienne took 45 seconds off her previous best time for the 5 km distance.
One other person was within 15 seconds of their PB:
Well run Monica.
The random number for the sock draw this week was 9, meaning Tessa wins the socks.
The next run will be on Sunday 2 February at 7:30 am, and we will be presenting the trophies for last season at the end of the run.
