Run 168

A slightly smaller field this week. Everyone was glad Anthony's prediction for cold and wet weather didn't come true.

A huge thanks to Peter who wasn't well enough to run, but still made it down to time keep for us. It was appreciated.

Whilst it was a little warmer and I mean only just warmer this week a mass start was again agreed to. This meant that it is a lot harder to judge times. So after all the handicaps are applied Steve came up with a fantastic win 2 secs ahead of myself. Great work.

Owen K continues to accumulate points as he finished third and I shouldn't forget our 2 km runners with Caitlin F bringing some great enthusiasm to the event as she blitzes the course without stopping. Well done Caitlin and to all keep up the great work. It is always harder over Winter.

Remember next week is market weekend so the run will be n Sunday. If you are heading off for the school holidays, have a happy and safe journey. Remember to stay running.

There were no PBs this week and only 1 within 15 secs:

Doug did well this week to take out the win. A great effort for such a cold morning. 
Rather than have everyone standing around in the cold, a mass start was agreed to by all. This means that first across the line is not always first after handicap adjustments occur.

So closely following Doug was Nada in second and Steve in third.

Well done to everyone for braving the cold and see you next week.

There were no PBs this week however there were 2 within 15 secs:

Another big turn out this morning. Lets hope it continues as next week the days will start to get longer.

We had 2 breakers this morning with Owen K and Jon finishing well before the 30 minute mark. Owen K produced a great PB over the 3k distance and Jon came within 15 seconds for an extra point. This left the field right open with Atsuko producing another win for the season. Great work. Doug picked up a second and Anthony came in a very close third.

In the 2k run Owen came so close to his PB, however it wasn't to be this morning. I hope to see him back out there to smash his PB in the near future. This effort shouldn't be overshadowed by Blake who finished just ahead of Owen and Caitlin who absolutely blitzed her previous 2k time.

Well done to everyone and see you next week.

Thanks to Paul for setting everyone off this morning.

There were 3 PBs and 2 within 15 secs this week:

PBs:
Caitlin F - 2:18 (unbelievable)
Owen K - 56 secs (Absolutely fantastic)
Atsuko - 10 secs (just keeps on improving)

There was a big crowd for such a cold morning, but a great start to the long weekend.

We celebrated another birthday this week and I am sure the delicious muffins have to be the best reward for all the efforts we put in. Thank you Nada they were superb.

I think Nada may have had one of these muffins prior to the run as she literally flew across the finish line to take honours and a PB. Well done. The win was achieved after Anthony broke with myself and Owen closely following. This was after an adjustment for a late start for yours truly.

This has meant a change to the leader board with a great tussle occurring for the top spot.

Also a big thanks to Olie for picking up the timekeeping after being beaten by Lewis and Miles.

There were 3 PBs and 1 within 15 secs this week:

PBs:
Nada - 18 secs

There was a lot of competition out for the early morning Sunday run. I personally was glad that it wasn't Saturday last week with all the rain that was about.

Even with a little water underfoot there were 3 new PBs on the weekend. The first across the line with a PB was Owen K, closely followed by Nada who continues to improve run after run.

Caitlin was provided a task of beating Lincoln's time and with the challenge set was the last of the 3 to run a PB. Well done.

We missed a couple of regulars who recently celebrated B'days. As a special Sunday morning treat a few muffins were enjoyed by all. Well at least everyone was polite enough to say they enjoyed them.

There were 3 PBs and 1 within 15 secs this week:

PBs:
Owen K - 10 secs
Nada - 9 secs
Caitlin F - 7 secs
