Run 335

There were 16 starters for the run today in beautiful conditions along the Yarra. It really is great to see so many people down for the run, including five kids this morning. Welcome to Will who ran his first 3km run with us this morning, we hope to see you at River Runners again, soon.

The first across the line after handicaps were adjusted (a few people seemed to struggle to get out of bed for the earlier start time of 7:00am for daylight savings) was Caitlyn who again came in under the 30 minute mark and was considered a breaker this morning, Harrison, the birthday boy, also broke this morning. Just after 30 minutes there was a flurry of people crossing the line, making it difficult for the timekeeper, but the honours went to Tessa this morning with a well timed run, only seconds ahead of Angela.

Nada was third over the line with Monica hot on her heels. Will's time brought him in next just ahead of Jozica, James and Jacinta who were within 7 seconds of each other. Peter just held off Alicia, with Steve, Jon and Atsuko rounding out the finishers of the longer distances.

Margaret was the only runner on the 2km course this morning and she continues to reduce her times over this distance. Good work, Margaret.

There were three Personal Best times recorded this morning:
Angela beat her previous best time by 1 second,
Harrison beat his time from last week by 1 minute and 33 seconds, and
Caitlyn continues to improve her times, taking a whopping 2 minutes and 47 seconds off her previous PB.

Two people came within 15 seconds of the PB:
well done to Monica and Tessa.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 15 October at 7:00am.

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