The start of the school holidays saw several of the regular runners away, but Peter acted as the timekeeper for the 11 runners/walkers who came along.
Jon and Atsuko led the field this week coming in within seven seconds of each other. Monica tried out a new distance, running 4km for the first time, while Tessa stepped back down to 3km.
It was good to see Jacinta back after a few weeks away, and Steph and Bec continue to run well.
There was only 1 person within 15 seconds of their Personal Best this week - well done Atsuko.
Next week the run will be on Sunday 5 July at 7:30am due to the market on Saturday.
New runners and walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 269
It was a cold morning for running today, and several of the regulars were out of action due to not feeling too well. Nada ended up having to walk to the finish line, but managed to complete 3km. Hope that you all are feeling better soon!
The females were the first four across the line: Atsuko and Jozica were running very well despite the cold morning and both managed to finish with Personal Best times. Tessa and Alicia stepped up to the 4km distance, and that meant that their times had to be adjusted for new handicaps.
The guys followed afterwards, with myself, Owen and Olie crossing the line about a minute behind the others. Jon and Cam walked the 2km course.
PBs this week:
Jozica beat her previous best by 5 seconds, and
Atsuko beat hers by 10 seconds.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
New runners and walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.
The next run will be on Saturday 27 June at 7:30am.

Run 268
It was a very cold morning to be out running, but that didn't stop 13 runners and walkers from coming down to the river. The cold seems to have held people back in their times, but it didn't prevent Peter and Tessa from managing a personal best time this week. No one else was within 15 second of their PB.
We welcomed a new runner in Alicia this morning who ran with Tessa and they managed to be the first to cross the finish line. After adjusting the handicap for the new runner, she managed to come in just in front of me. Peter was finishing quickly in second place and three runners behind him were in a sprint finish to the line with Jozica managing to just hold out from Owen and Steve.
Atsuko (and her puppy Amy) ran a good time for the 4km distance and Stephanie and Bec continue to run well (even after already having run about 6km before our timed run this morning). Monica, as always was running very well and Caitlin and Barbara walked the 2km track.
Sorry Nada - I had originally left you off the lists for this week. All has been updated now.
PBs today:
Peter by 1 second (and that means he is moving up to the 4km distance next week), and
Tessa by 38 seconds
The run next week is on Saturday 20 June at 7:30am.
New runners and walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 267
It was a big field for the Sunday of a long weekend with 12 runners/walkers showing up. With Joz and Monica away the field was left open and Peter stepped up tp the plate, taking out the line honours for this week and his second win of the season.
I was not too far behind, but couldn't catch him once he overtook me in the final kilometre. Atsuko was also running well and came in just behind me. After an adjustment for sending Owen off on the wrong handicap, he took out fourth place.
Stewart again ran well, and seems to be figuring out how the system works, coming in ahead of Caitlin and Steve. Jon ran early today to do the timing for us - thanks for that.
In the two kilometre field, there were two new young runners in Caitlyn and Harrison who ran for the first time today and did very well.
There were no PBs today and Peter was the only one to come within within 15 seconds of his.
The run next week will be on Saturday 12 June at 7:30am.
