Run 723

It was a slightly warmer morning this week compared to the last few - about 5 degrees when we started the run. Thanks to Atsuko for coming along to do the time keeping duties for the 5 starters in the run.

Once the handicaps had been added in for those who took off at different times, this week saw Jon take out first place in the run, ahead of James. Paul was in third place with Sandi in fourth. Jozica was the last person over the line this morning.

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

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

After the run this morning, Paul was congratulated on reaching 450 runs with the group. He has been running with us since Season 7, with his first run back in February 2012.

Run 722

It was another cold morning on the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra that saw seven starters in our weekly run. Many thanks to Colin for once again coming along to do the time-keeping duties for the group. Many runners chose to run early this week hoping to get out of the cold earlier.

Once the handicaps were added in and times adjusted the results were: first runner over the line was Jozica who had run too quickly this week and has been classified as a breaker for coming in before the 30 minute mark. That left the win open for Paul who came in just ahead of Atsuko. James, Dave and Sandi had only 8 seconds between them in third, fourth and fifth places respectively. Nada was the final runner to finish this week.

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

Next week the run will be on Saturday 28 June with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

Run 721

It was a very cold -1 degrees as five people started the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this week. Thanks to Colin for braving the cold weather and coming down to do the time-keeping duties for us. All runners started early and have then had their handicaps added on at the end of the run.

Atuko continues to run extremely well this season, taking out another first place this week ahead of Margaret in second position. Paul managed third place just ahead of Nada in fourth. Jozica was the last runner over the line this week.

Nobody managed to run a personal best time, but Atsuko was within 15 seconds of her previous PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 21 June (Winter solstice so the days will then start to get longer again) with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

Run 720

Even though the weather was very wet on Sunday morning, there were still five starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this week.

Because of the weather, we decided to have a mass start and added the handicaps in later. Once everything was tallied up, it was Atsuko who took out the run this week, coming in 10 seconds ahead of Paul in second place. Dave was in third place 20 seconds back. James and Jon were the final two runners over the line.

There were no personal best times recorded this week and nobody was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 14 June with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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