Run 320

It was quite fresh out this morning, but felt quite nice once you got started on the run. Nine people braved the chill to run 3 or 5 km this morning.

First over the line was Paul, just after the 30 minute mark, to get his first win for the season. Running in to the finish line, he could definitely hear Atsuko breathing down his neck only a few seconds behind him. Third place went to James who continues to run consistently over the longer distance. Lisa and Nada were next in within 10 seconds of each other. Peter, Tessa, Jon and Jacinta were the last over the line today.

There was no-one with a Personal Best time this morning, but James was within 15 seconds of his PB.

Next week the run will be on SUNDAY 3 July at 7:30 am due to the market on Saturday.

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

Run 319

A couple of people needed to take off early for other commitments, so their handicaps needed adjustments with the end result being:

Nada timed her run beautifully to come in first position just after the 30 minute mark for her first win of the season. Paul managed to just come in ahead of Atsuko for second and third placings. Tessa, over the 4 km distance took out fourth place with Alicia, Jon and Jacinta rounding out the 7 starters for this week.

Thanks to Steve for coming down to help out with the timing this week.

No personal best times were recorded and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

The run next week will be on Saturday 25 June at 7:30 am.

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

Run 318

It was a bit chilly but fine for a run along the river this morning. There were nine starters with Steve taking the times this morning - thanks.

First across the line this morning was Paul, but having gone out quickly he came in under the 30 minute mark and broke. That left maximum points this week to Jozica who was first over the line after 30 minutes, with Atsuko not far behind. Tessa and Peter came home strong together, but Tessa was able to run away at the end. James was not far behind them, and Jacinta walked the 3 km course again this morning while recovering from a cold.

There was only one personal best time recorded this morning:
Well done Jozica for taking 17 seconds off your previous PB (from last week).

No-one was within 15 seconds.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 18 June at 7:30am.

Run 317

At least the rain held off for the run this morning and nine people took to the track by the Yarra to run 3, 4 or 5 km.

Peter arrived early and ran 3 km so that he could look after the timings for the main contingent this morning, so thanks for that. A few people were feeling a bit under the weather and so ran or walked shorter distances than usual. 

The results for the day were: Jozica only ran 3 km and came in before the 30 minute mark, James again improved on his previous times and managed to be the first over the line after the 30 minute mark, just holding off Nada who ran into second place. Paul was not too far back but just couldn't catch up to them to come in 3rd, with Alicia not too far behind him.

Atsuko was able to run 5 km again (not having to run off to kids sports on a Sunday) and came in next position, with Tessa, Peter and Jacinta (who walked her 3 km this morning) making up the final places in the run this morning.

There appears to be some competition at the lead of the consistency table for this season, with Jozica and James leading the field.

There were two personal best times recorded this morning:

James beat his previous PB by 29 seconds,

and Jozica beat her previous 3 km PB by 37 seconds.

No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

New runners and/or walkers of any ability are welcome at any stage during the season.

Our next run will be on Saturday 11 June at 7:30 am.
