Run 621 and 632

Run 631

With only three runners this morning there were some big points up for grabs towards the end of the season. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties again.

Nada was the first person over the line after the 30 minute mark today, with Paul is second place. Jozica was the last runner and gained points for third place today.

Nobody ran a personal best time or was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Run 632

There were five starters in the run along the banks of the Yarra this week. Thanks once more to Nada for running early and being the time-keeper in this last run of the season. The rest of the runners all ran from scratch and the handicaps were added afterwards.

Paul managed to be the first person over the finish line once the handicaps were included in the times. Jozica came in second not far behind him and just ahead of Atsuko. Nada managed fourth place and Harrison was the last person over the line after running his 6 km.

As this was the last run of the season, we do not post the final table until after the announcement of the winners and presentation of awards.

Nobody managed to run a personal best time or within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Sunday (Fathers' Day) with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

This will be the first run of the new season which will go for the next four months.

Run 630

It was a small group that started out in the run this morning, with some drizzle as we ran this may have deterred people from coming. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties again this week.

With so few people in the run, there were lots of points available to those who came along. Paul was first over the line, picking up the 17 points for this and boosting him up the points table. Nada managed second and gained an extra 6 points for her run and Jozica, in third place picked up 5 points as well.

Nobody managed to gain the extra points on offer for a Personal Best time or for running within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 19 August with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

Run 629

It was a cool morning on Sunday that saw four runners start out in the weekly run along the banks 0of the Yarra River in Warrandyte. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties this week.

The first person over the line this week was Atsuko, who took out her sixth win of the season. She came in  just ten seconds ahead of Nada and Paul was another 15 seconds or so behind her. Jozica was the last person over the line this morning.

No one managed to run a personal best time this week, and no one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 12 August with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

Runs 627 and 628

Hi all,

It has been a couple of weeks since I updated, so:

Run 627

There were five starters in the cold of the morning for the run along the banks of the Yarra. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties.

The winner of this week's run was Jon, who came in just ahead of Nada. Adrienne came in third place this week (and it was great to see her back running with us). Paul and Tony were tied for last place over the line.

Nobody managed a personal best time or to be within 15 seconds of their PB.

Run 628

It was great to have seven people start in the run this week, with Nada once more running early and taking on the role of time-keeper. Thanks again!

Dave was the first runner over the line this week, but had run too quickly and came in just before the 30 minute mark and was recorded as breaking. That left the win open for Atsuko who came in ahead of Paul who was in second place. Jon took out third place ahead of Tony. Adrienne came in sixth and Nada was the last runner over the line today.

There was one person to run within 15 seconds of their personal best time: congratulations Atsuko. And one person managed a personal best time with Dave taking 32 seconds off his previous 3 km best.

Next week the run will be on Sunday August 6 starting at 7:30 am.

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