Run 618

There were three starters in the run along the banks of the Yarra this week in the drizzle after the rain last night. The tracks were wet, but there was no major rain during the run. Thanks to Atsuko for doing the timing before completing her run.

Paul was the only competitor to take on the shorter, 2 km, distance this morning. In the longer distances Harrison and Atsuko ran the 3 km distance, with Atsuko's time making her the winner for this week.

We presented Harrison with his medal and prize for winning the kids section last season as he wasn't at our presentation last week.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 27 May with the clock starting at 7:30 am.

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

There were four starters in the run along the banks of the Yarra this week. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties again.

Tony was the first person over the line after the 30 minute mark this week. Second place was taken out by Atsuko ahead of Nada. Jon was the last person to finish.

Nobody managed a personal best time or ran within 15 seconds of their PB this week.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 20 May and the clock will start at 7:30 am.

Run 615 and 616

Run 615

There were five starters in the final run of Season 40, thanks to Nada for doing the time-keeping duties this week. As has been the tradition we had a mass start for the final run and then handicaps were added on afterwards so that people are not aware of their finishing positions.

Paul was the only runner to take on the 2 km distance, walking his dogs this week. In the longer distances, Jon managed to come in as the winner ahead of Atsuko. Nada took out third position and Jozica was the final person over the line.

Nobody managed a personal best time over their chosen distance this week, but Jon was within 15 seconds of his 5 km PB.

Run 616

This week saw four people starting the first run in Season 41 with Nada once more running early and doing the timekeeping duties. 

Paul took on the 2 km distance again, but running this week instead of walking. Atsuko was the first person over the line after the 30 minute mark ahead of Nada with Jozica the last runner home today.

Nobody was quick enough to manage a personal best time and no one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

After the run we had the presentation for Season 40. In the Open section, the winner of the season with 104 points including 4 wins was Paul. In second place on 75 points with 3 wins was Atsuko, and on 72 points in third place for the season was Nada. In the "kids" section Harrison managed to gain 42 points from 7 runs including one win for the season.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 13 May with the clock starting at 7:30 am.

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