Run 291

It was looking like it might be a wet run this morning, but the rain held off at just the right times to allow the 12 starters to run without getting wet.

We welcomed Doug H to the group this morning for his first run at the 5km course and hope to see him again. Ed continues to run the 2km distance very consistently.

There were quite a few time adjustments as several people went off at different times to their handicaps, but the overall outcome was that Jacinta was first over the line, but was way too fast for the 30 minute cut off time, so has broken this week - great running. That left Lisa to take out the win today, being the first runner over the line after the 30 minute mark. She was closely followed by Atsuko and Nada who are both running very well.

Doug, as it was his first run, had his time adjusted to 31 minutes and came in equal with Jon, and I was only 25 seconds behind them. Tessa, Adrienne and Catherine all managed times within 1 second of each other and Alicia rounded out the field.

As people are starting to hit the 10 run mark for the season, the points will be harder to pick up for them. Only your top 10 runs for the season count towards your consistency points. Points are awarded for finishing, finishing in the first 6 places after 30 minutes or up to 5 places before 30 minutes, running a personal best and running within 15 seconds of your personal best time at that distance. All details are listed below.

There was one PB recorded this week:
Well done to Jacinta who cut off 2 minutes 34 seconds from her previous PB at the 4km distance.

Three runners were within 15 seconds of their PB:
Congratulations on consistent running to Ed, Atsuko and Lisa.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 28 November at 7:00am.

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

End-of-Year get together

We are going to Warrandyte Cafe for breakfast after the first run in December (Sunday 6 December). All runners and any other family members are invited to come along and have a chat something to eat or drink together. Please let me know by email as soon as possible (wrrunners@gmail.com) if you are coming so that I can let the cafe know numbers. Hope to see you there.
