Run 693

It was a beautiful morning to get out for a run before the day heated up and it was great to see ten starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra in Warrandyte this weekend. Thanks once more to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties this week.

There were som every close finishes this week, and we saw Dave just edge out Alex by two seconds for first place after handicaps were added in to times. Renee took out third place only four seconds behind them. Tony was in fourth place four seconds ahead of Jon. Atsuko was in sixth place with Paul in seventh. James and Nada were in eighth and ninth position respectively and Harrison was the final runner over the finish line.

There were two personal best times run today: Dave took 5 seconds off his previous best, and Alex ran 19 seconds faster over his distance. Renee was the only other person within 15 seconds of their PB.

With ten runners, we had a random number draw for a pair of socks, and the number chosen was 5, meaning that Jon is the winner of the socks this week.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 23 November with the timer starting at 7:30am.

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