Run 691 and 692

Run 691


There were five starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this week. Thanks to Nada for doing the time-keeping duties yet again.

It was a slow week this week with nobody coming close to the 30 minute mark. Nada managed to be the first person over the line ahead of Atsuko, with Paul in third place. James was only one second behind Paul and Harrison was the final runner to finish.

Nobody managed a personal best time and no one was within 15 seconds of their PB.


Run 692


There were 11 starters in the run this week, so there was another draw for a pair of socks. Thanks to Nada for running early and then doing the time-keeping duties for the group.

First across the line (once the handicaps had been added as most people decided to run off 'scratch' today), was Renee. She had, however, run too quickly and came in before the 30 minute mark and therefore broke this week. That left the win wide open and Nada took it out again this week. Alex managed to take out second place only 4 seconds ahead of Adrienne, with Dave snapping at their heels in fourth position. Harrison was in fifth position today only one second ahead of Atsuko. Tony took seventh place with Jozica in eighth. James was in ninth position and Paul was the last runner over the line this week.

There was one personal best time recorded this week: congratulations to Nada for taking another 9 seconds off her previous PB. Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

The random number drawn for the socks this week was 2, which means that Nada takes the prize this week.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 16 November with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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