Run 327

9 runners started out this week on the 3, 4 and 5km courses and there were some great times this week. Thanks ti Steve for running early and doing the timings this week.

After adjustments had been made for handicaps, Harrison was the first over the line this week, but he was well under the magical 30 minute mark and so was considered a break. Jon, too, managed to come in before the 30 minute mark and also broke this week.

That left Jacinta to take out the line honours this week, with Nada only 10 seconds behind her. There was a bit of a gap to the next runners in Tessa and Monica. Dennis and Steve came in within 7 seconds of each other and Atsuko was last over the line.

There were two personal best times recorded this week with Jon beating his previous 4 km best time by 2 minutes and 24 seconds,
and Harrison beating his previous 3 km best time by a whopping 4 minutes 27 seconds.

Nada was the only other person within 15 seconds of their personal best.

Great running to all of you.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 20 August at 7:30 am.

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


Nada is planning on running 50 km on Saturday 27 August. She will be starting with her usual 5 km at the river with us, then will keep going to the trail at Beasley's nursery, and continuing on until about Bourke Road. She will then turn back and finish back at Beasley's. A number of people have suggested that they would like to run some part(s) of the way with her, or meet her at the finish line. If you are interested in helping her out on the day, please let us know and we will see how we can help to coordinate people's requests. GOOD LUCK for the run, Nada!!
