Run 222

Can anyone catch Nada????

Slightly warmer this morning saw only a few contenders and a few dogs. First placing went to Nada with Caitlin coming in second. Chantelle was spot on with a new PB over the 2k. beating her previous time by 27 seconds.

I forgot to mention that Atsuko completed her 50 runs last week and Caitlin will complete her 50th run next time she runs. Well done. 

I won't be there next week and Steve has offered to assist. Thanks. I will back the following week to cover the 50 runners achievements.

Next run Sunday 3rd August 2014 at 8:00am. August already wow. Next Saturday is market weekend if you are looking for some great gifts or food.

Remember all newcomers are welcome.

Run 219, 220 and 221

I am back and a huge thanks to Steven and Peter for running things whilst I was away.

It is definitely cooler these days and numbers are showing this, so if you are after easy points I suggest getting out for a run. I know it is the only way I can get any.

Run 219 saw Paul take out the win just ahead of Nada and Jozica with points for all who attended.

Run 220 saw Nada take out a convincing win with Olie and Jozica closing in for second and third. Again points for all who attended.

And lastly...... Run 221 was a cool morning with a very light drizzle of rain. This didn't stop the keener runners from getting out and I must say a little dirty. The finish looked a little more like tough mudder as people compared their running styles by the amount of mud up the back.

It was determined that Jozica was the lightest runner of all of us.

With a wet track this didn't stop the competition in anyway as the banter started even before the run, with the women outnumbering the men. This at least evened up as Peter arrived. Phew!!!

While they had the numbers and after additions of handicaps it was the guys (Steve actually) that took first place, however the girls still hold top place on the consistency ladder as Nada continues true to form with a run into second place, closely followed by Atsuko. So 1 out of the top three wasn't bad.

Well done to everyone and I admit I missed the fun when I was away.

No PBs this week due to the wet and slightly slippery conditions.

Next run Saturday 26 July 2014 at 7:30am. The mornings are definitely starting to get a little brighter.

Don't forget keep running and enjoy. Everyone is welcome.

Run 217 and 218

Run 217 was a great turn out with Alex F just pipping Barbara and Chantelle across the line for the 2k honours and Jarrah breaking by a long way over the 3k distance. This left it wide open for Jozica to take out the win by the barest of margins.

There were a couple of PBs and few very close so check out the results via the link.

Run 218 was a little quieter as people have taken off to warmer climates (Guess where I am??). This meant points for all. It was a mass start as I had forgotten the time sheet. When all the handicap adjustments were entered it was a close race for first and second. Well done to Peter for taking out the win.

The next run is Sunday 6 July 2014 at 8:00am due to the Warrandyte market occurring on Saturday. Don't forget to head down to the market for a coffee, your fruit and vegies or even gifts, gift wrapping or cards. Heaps of food and treats.
