Run 176

Well we had a slightly shortened course this week due to a fallen tree and whilst the GPS pulled the adjusted course at just over 200m short I have adjusted everyone's times by 2 minutes. You can do the calculation backwards if you want to look at the time you ran today.

This meant that there were no breakers which I thought was only fair. Leo therefore took out top honours running hard after finishing footy for the year. Jon was unable to catch him but came in a close 2nd whilst Nada, our overall leader of the consistency points tally this season, finished in third place.

I would like to also point out that Owen K ran his 49th run this week so his next run will be his 50th. Well done.

Next week therefore is our last run for the season. It will be a mass start so you need to be there on time. It will be difficult to determine who will win as the top three are very close. Remember it is only the top 10 runs that count and the top 7 have all hit that mark.

Good luck to everyone and thank you for coming down this morning. It was a good field.

Run 175

After the wild winds last night, it was a nice contrast to have such beautiful weather for our run this morning.

There are only 2 runs left and the top 4 runners are all in contention for the top prize. It only takes a win and a high placing to secure the top spot.

Today saw Jon take out a much deserved win and with a PB. It was interesting as I think starting with Steven G pushed them both. Jon was closely followed by Caitlin and Nada, who are both running well. Unfortunately due to the consistency calculations Nada has run more than 10 runs this season and it is only the best 10 runs that are counted. A 3rd would have well and truly been up there for me.

It was good to see Margaret back for another run. Well done.

I hope the weather is on the improve as the sun comes up a little earlier each morning.

There were 2 PBs and 1 within 15 seconds this week:

Run 174

Caitlin showed us how it is done this week taking out top honours with a convincing win and a PB. Nada continued her perfectly timed runs with a second and was closely followed by Steven G who after finishing his footy season has come out and run a PB over the 5k course.

It was a smaller field this week so easy points for everyone and with the weather changing for the better it was a great morning to be out.

Well done to all.

There were 2 PBs this week:

Run 173

Thanks again Peter for conducting the timing last week.

Caitlin in her 2nd ever 4k run, blitzed the field and was unfortunate to break. That is finish under the 30 minute mark. This allowed Alex to take out the win with his first run for the season. This was off the back of a run the previous day.
Alex was closely followed by Nada and Atsuko who continue to rack up the points on the consistency table.
Well done to all.
