Run 14 - Final run of Season 1

Well done everyone for turning up and taking part in the final run of Season 1. The rain held off which was nice although it was still very warm - were's autumn?

You'll notice that I haven't updated the run results or the consistency table as we are going to keep the results a closely guarded secret until our presentation day on Saturday 8th May. The presentation day will be held at the electric bbqs by the start line at 3:00pm and everyone is welcome, along with their families.

So I'll see you for the start of Season 2 at 8:00am on Sunday 2nd May (market weekend).

Run 13

Congratulations, Margaret! This cool Saturday morning was Margaret's turn to take out maximum points (20) by crossing the line 1st after the 30 minute mark and running a PB. Well done.

Also a big well done to Bianca who has nudged her way to the top of the consistency table by running a PB and placing 3rd.

So next Saturday 24th April is a mass start for the last run of the season. All 2km and 5km runners head off at 7:00am and all 3km runners head off at 7:10am. So make sure you are on time.

We will keep up the momentum by flowing straight into Season 2 on Sunday 2nd May @ 8:00am. (Market weekend)

Welcome to our new runners, I hope you enjoyed yourselves and we look forward to seeing you at River Runners again next week.

See you there!

Jodi

NB: We will be moving into the regular Saturday time slot of 7:30am for Season 2, except for Market weekends which will be run at 8:00am Sundays.

Also another huge congratulations to our Larry for coming 2nd out of a field of 495 at the Run the Rock at Hanging Rock 5km event. I'm still claiming him as 'our Larry'. :)

Run 12

Congratulations Anne-Marie! Yet again the maximum 20 points were awarded this week with Anne-Marie crossing the line closest to 30 minutes with a personal best time.

It was great to see the return of Lou and Larry. Larry has been doing very well with his running, managing to come 6th out of a field of 50 in a 1 mile sprint at Bendigo.

With only 2 runs left in the current season the contest is on between Bianca and Lou. Jenny is still in contention if she manages to secure a win with a personal best.

Talking about only 2 runs to go, next week will run as normal, however the last run of the season (24th April) will be a mass start. This means all the 2km and 5km runners go off at 0:00:00 while all 3km runners will go off at 0:10:00. This will mean the results will not be known until presentations which will be held on the weekend of 8th May.

See you at 7:00am next Saturday!

Run 11

Congratulations, Bianca! Well done on picking up maximum points (20) by running yet another personal best time and being first to cross the line after the 30 minute mark. Can she pick up another 8 points to surpass the currently injured Lou and take out the trophy for Season 1?

It was a beautiful morning for a run, and everyone must have liked the extra sleep in because we saw almost everyone run a PB today. Fantastic effort.

And a big welcome to 2 new runners this morning - we hope you enjoyed yourselves and we look forward to seeing you again next week.

Run 12 will be next Saturday, 10th April at 7:00am.
