Run 328

There were 12 starters for this mornings run, and we welcome Helen and Angela to the list of competitors. Hopefully we will see you down by the river again!

After a few adjustments for handicaps with some people taking off early, it was great to see that first over the line this morning was Harrison who ran the 3 km course and continues to run very well. Nada has been constant all season and managed a second place this morning. Angela, in her first run, was given a handicap time that brought her in for third place overall, just ahead of Tessa and Jozica.

Dennis ran well into sixth place just ahead of new runner, Helen. Steve and Atsuko only ended up 3 seconds apart and Jon was only 6 seconds behind them. Jacinta and Peter were the final runners to cross the line.

There was only one person with a personal best time over their chosen distance this morning:
congratulations to Harrison who has taken another 23 seconds off his PB for the 3 km course. Keep up the good work!

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

Because there were more than 10 runners, there was a random number drawn and the 7th runner across the line wins a pair of sicks this week. Congratulations Helen.

Next week the run will be the final run for this season and so will be a mass start - everyone will begin at 7:30 am on Saturday 27 August. Please make sure you are there on time so we can start.

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


Nada is planning on running 50 km next week 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!!
