Run 55

Congratulations Cath! Cath has stepped up to the 4km distance and today crossed the line first after the 30 minute mark with a PB so took out the maximum 20 points. Great run.

Conditions were perfect for running this morning although we did have a few 4-wheeled obstacles on the track. This was also shown by all the Personal Best times recorded. These smashed PB's also resulted in 4 people breaking.

PB's this week;
Megan - 1 minute 26 seconds
David - 1 minute 15 seconds
Helen - 1 minute 9 seconds
Martin - 1 minute 6 seconds
Peter - 12 seconds
Rob - 5 seconds
Marianne - 4 seconds

And Lucia, Lincoln and I were all within 15 seconds of our PB's.

Next week is market weekend so we will be running on Sunday 6th March at 7:30am.

The Park Orchards Strawberry Fair is also on next weekend with the fun run starting at 8:30am on Saturday 5th March. Check out their website for all the details - http://www.strawberryfairparkorchards.org.au/.

See you down by the hut.

Run 54

Congratulations Peter! It seems that a week's rest with a virus can do you the world of good. Peter came out running today and crossed the line first, with a PB, taking out the maximum 20 points. This has rocketed Peter to the top of the leader board.

It was a little wet before the run started but managed to stop for run time. Not sure if that was a good or bad thing because it was still very humid.

We saw 4 people run a PB today and another 4 ran within 15 seconds of theirs.
Lucia - 1 min 54 seconds - fantastic!
Richard - 27 seconds
Luke - 12 seconds
Peter - 3 seconds

It was great to see so many people out on a wet Saturday morning and everyone ran really well.

Next week's run will be on Saturday 26th February at 7:00am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 53

Congratulations Leo! Two wins from two starts, each with a personal best time, has seen Leo rocket to the top of the leader board. Well done Leo and keep up the great running.

Thankfully the river had gone down enough to allow us to run this week, with only a slight track modification to avoid the mud.

We welcomed 2 new runners and 3 returning runners. I hope you enjoyed yourselves and will come again next week!

There were 3 PB's run today;
David - 1 min 40 secs
Leo - 35 secs
Nick - 27 secs

Next week's run will be on Saturday 19th February at 7:00am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 52 - it's a wash out!






Well, after over 100mm of rain the Yarra River has decided to interrupt the Warrandyte River Runners schedule and cover our running track.

As there is still a lot of the track under water this afternoon I have had to make the call that tomorrow's run is washed out.

So I'll see you next Saturday 12th February at 7:00am.
