Run 143

Congratulations Peter. With a mass start on the last run of the season and the year Peter ran his 100th run and took out the win.  What a fabulous way to finish the year and I hope we see you there for the next 100 runs!

Alan and Janette also made a cameo appearance before they venture off on their RunRAW 2013 - 365 Marathons in 365 Days! They will be departing Federation Square at 8:00am on New Years Day and we are all welcome to run the first few kilometres with them down St Kilda Rd (then just catch the tram back!). It would be awesome if some of the Warrandyte River Runners could make it in to see Alan and Janette off on the start of their amazing adventure.

Final results - Congratulations Steve. This season it was Steve's determination that saw him take out the main prize for season 9, 22 points in front of his nearest rivals. And those nearest rivals were Peter and Paul who finished in equal 2nd, with Lou finishing in 3rd position as first female. Owen deserves a very special mention as the winner of our kids division. He always turns up and puts in a grand effort with a smile on his face. Congratulations to you all. We will have the presentations at our first run for 2013 (see below).

Thank you to everyone who has made it along to River Runners during 2012 and I hope you have enjoyed the running as much as the socialising. Have a very safe and happy Christmas and I look forward to seeing you in 2013 for our 4th year of River Runners.

The first run for season 10 will be on Saturday 5 January 2013 at 7:00am. Enjoy the break and I'll see you there.

It was a very clear, chilly morning and I think everyone took some time to warm up.  As a result there were no PB's recorded this week.

A big congratulations to Lincoln for taking out the trophy for season 7 with a very consistent 103 points.  The points are calculated as the best 10 runs for the season.  Our runner up for season 7 was our new runner, Paul.  Well done to both of you and it is great to see you turning up every week and putting in a great effort.

The winner of the kids trophy for season 7 was Martin.  Congratulations Martin on taking the trophy out again - that sure is great consistency!  Our kids runner up for season 7 was another new runner, Jessica.  Well done to both of you and you will have to come and collect your prizes next week.

Well, after all the rain we have had over the last week it was down to those courageous enough to risk getting wet. It all paid off for Lincoln with a perfectly timed run finishing right on 30 minutes after handicaps were added. Congratulations Lincoln! This is his third win for the season which allows a slight breather on the ladder. Well done.

With the markets on this weekend it meant a Sunday run and whilst it didn't rain it was a little wet under foot. This along with a mass start didn't stop a new PB  being recorded nor a run within 15 seconds.

Paul K - 10 seconds - Well done on breaking the 15min barrier and in only a few short weeks!

Run 100

Congratulations Lincoln.  Today it was Lincoln's turn to take out his second win for the season.  Well done.

We had a double celebration this week with the Season 6 presentation (won by Peter, runner up Lucia, and Martin took out the kids trophy).

It was also the 100th Warrandyte River Runners run.  We have been going strong for over 2 years and it's great to see everyone come along every week and I still really love to see how much people improve.

We also had interstate visitors Peter and Carol come along for their first Warrandyte River Runners experience.  Phoenix was very pleased to have her own special walkers.

There were 3 personal bests recorded this week;
Martin - 1 minute 39 seconds
Paul - 55 seconds
Lucia - 14 seconds

I hope to see you all out for the Run Warrandyte event tomorrow.  I'm sure it will be a fun and challenging event.

Next week the run is on Saturday 18 February at 7:00am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 98

Congratulations Lucia!  Today it was Lucia's turn to take out her first win for the season, great running and keep up the good work.

It was quite warm this morning and I think we were all getting over our mixed up week with the Australia Day holiday on Thursday.  There were no personal best times recorded today.

A big welcome back to some past runners - great to see you out there and I hope to see you all back regularly.

Pencil in Sunday 12th Feb to take part in the inaugural Run Warrandyte fun run.  Unfortunately we are still waiting on final approval before I can confirm that it will be going ahead.  As soon as I know I will send you all an email.

Next week is market weekend so the run is on Sunday 5th February at 7.30am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 97

Congratulations Lincoln!  Today Lincoln was exactly on form, crossing the line first and equalling his personal best time.  Well done.

It was a beautiful morning and we welcome one new runner to the group.  I hope you enjoyed the run, Jessica and we'll see you back at River Runners. 

Lincoln's was the only personal best time recorded this week.  As everyone gets back into their non-holiday routines I'm sure we'll see times improving.
