Runs 791 and 792

Run 791

It was the last Saturday of the school holidays, just ahead of Melbourne Cup Day, and four runners turned out for this week's run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte.

Many thanks to Dave for taking on the time-keeping duties before heading out for his own run.

Once the handicaps were applied, Dave managed to take out the win this week, ahead of Atsuko in second place. James finished third, just four seconds ahead of Sandi, who rounded out the field.

There were no personal bests recorded, and nobody finished within 15 seconds of their PB, so no extra points were awarded this week.

Run 792

There were seven starters for this weekend's competition along the river through Warrandyte. Thanks to Atsuko for running early and then taking care of the time-keeping for the group.

Margaret was the only runner taking on the unhandicapped 2 km distance. In the longer distances, Paul took out first place, with Atsuko in second and Jozica in third. Nada finished fourth, while Stephen and Tony rounded out the field.

There were no personal bests recorded this week. Paul was the only competitor to finish within 15 seconds of his PB, earning an extra point.

After the run, we congratulated Tony on reaching 100 runs with the group. That's a fantastic milestone and a great effort.

Next week's run will be on Saturday 14 November, with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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