Run 364

The rain held off for the last run of Season 22 of Warrandyte River Runners. Thanks again to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping for today's run.

A field of 12 runners took off at 7:30 this morning in the last run of the season. After the addition of the handicaps, it turned out to be a very close run. Nada was pipped at the post by Caitlyn in her first win of the season winning by a margin of 2 seconds. Only seconds behind them was Jon closely followed by Atsuko. A little further back was another close group, with James coming in fifth position, only 3 seconds ahead of Jacinta who in turn was 15 seconds ahead of Steve. Peter, Tessa and Paul rounded out the field for the longer distances. Over the 2 km course, Ed was the fastest and Louanna continues to improve her times.

There was one personal best time recorded today:

Well done to Louanna who beat her previous 2 km best by 1 minute and 2 seconds.

One person manage to run within 15 seconds of their PB:

Well run Ed.

Next week will be the start of Season 23, and we will run on Sunday 7 May at 7:30.

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

Run 363

There were 8 starters for the second last run of this season on Saturday. Thanks to Nada for running early and keeping the times for us.

Jacinta ran out very well and managed to run a little too fast this week, coming in before the 30 minute mark and therefore breaking. That left the win for this week to be taken out by Harrison - well done! Nada came in second position and was just ahead of Jon's time. Paul and Atsuko rounded out the longer distances. Caitlyn and Margaret took off for the 2 km course, and Caitlyn managed to be the first home over this distance. Well done to the kids this week.

There were 2 personal best times recorded this week:
well done to both Jacinta and Caitlyn.

No-one else was within 15 second of their personal best.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 29 April at 7:30 am. As it is the last race of the season, it will be a mass start with everyone leaving at 7:30 so please try to be on time.

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

Runs 361 and 362

Having been away on holiday, I haven't had the chance to update until now - Sorry!

I have updated the Consistency table and results for the last two races on this page. Nada is out in front on the leaderboard at the moment, but Jacinta, Atsuko and Louanna could all take over in the last two runs of the season. Remember that only your best ten runs in a season can count towards the consistency points.

In run 361 there were three PBs record:

Angela, Ed and Louanna.

And one person managed to run within 15 seconds of their PB:

Ben.

I will write a report for the next run.

The next run will be on Saturday 22 April at 7:30 am.

Run 360

There were 13 people starting off the run by the river this weekend, with at least one person running each of the distances: 2, 3, 4 and 5 km. Thanks to Atsuko who came down to do the timing for us (even if she got a bit confused about daylight savings changes).

Many people were flying through the course today and we saw 2 people attain their personal best times this morning and one other was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Ed was the only person today to take off on the 2 km course, and he powered through the distance this morning. The first four across the line in the longer distances were all within 20 seconds for a very tight finish. In the end it was Jon who crossed the line first and Helen managed to beat off Angela for second across the finish line. Unfortunately they had all come in just before the 30 minute mark (Angela by only 2 seconds!), so that left the win for today to Paul who came in just after. Nada scored second place, with Alicia taking out third position. Jacinta was just ahead of Monica and James who came in within one second of each other. Tessa, Amelia and Harrison rounded out the field in today's run.

The two Personal Best times today were recorded by:
Angela who beat her precious PB by 28 seconds, and
Helen who managed to take 38 seconds off her previous PB.

Ed was within 15 seconds of his PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday morning 8 April at 7:30 am. Please note the change of time from the end of Daylight Savings. All runs (both Saturday and Sunday) will now start at 7:30 am.

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

Run 359

Only four people showed up for the Thursday evening run before the festival, so they all took off together at 6:30. Thanks to Caitlin (Amelia's sister) who helped out with time keeping. 

After he handicaps were added back in, it turned out to be a win for Peter this week, with Jacinta and James in the minor positions. Amelia chose to run the 2 km course.

Next week the run will be on Sunday at 7:30 am, don't forget that daylight savings ends at 2:00 am Sunday morning, so you will need to change your clocks back or you will be there an hour early!!

No PBs and no-one within 15 seconds of their PB this week
