Run 282

It was a great morning for a run, and 19 people came down to the pavilion near the lizard to run this morning. Thanks to Steve for coming down to do the timing.

Barbara was back to walk the 2km track this morning, and was the only person completing that distance. In the longer runs, our new runners from last week, Michelle and Jaime, were both in fine form, coming in before the 30 minute mark.

The first runner after 30 minutes was Peter with a very well timed run this morning, but right behind him were Monica, Atsuko, Emma and Jozica - the last three in a tight group over the line. Jacinta, Nada and Dennis came in close together, and Tessa beat Neils home with a sprint to the line.

After a time adjustment, I came in next before Caitlin and Alan and Janette.

There were 4 PBs recorded this morning:
Michelle was running faster than her time last week, beating it by 1 minute and 40 seconds,
Jaime also showed improvement, beating last week's time by 1 minute and 25 seconds,
Peter beat his previous best by 3 seconds, and
Emma ran well to beat hers by 13 seconds.

One person was within 15 seconds of their PB - well done to Monica.

We presented the awards from last season this morning.

In the kids section, the winner was Tessa, and the runner-up was Alicia.

For the Open section, the winner was Atsuko on 119 points for the season with 4 wins, and the runner up was Tessa on 91 points with 3 wins.

Well done to everyone who ran.


In other news, it is wonderful to hear that past runners Lincoln and Marianne have had a baby boy and named him John. Congratulations to you both from everyone at River Runners.


The run next week will be on Saturday 26 September at 7:30 am.

New runners and walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Socks this week to Emma.
