This week saw the return of our French visitor, Mathis, and also we welcomed a new runner, Renee, to the group. We hope to see you again! Thanks again to Peter for doing the timekeeping this week.
There were 11 starters this week, with three runners/walkers on the 2 km track. Mathis was the first back over the finish line followed by Louanna and Paul. In the longer distances, Jon was out like a rocket this week and was first over the line after the 30 minute mark, closely followed by Atsuko and Alicia. Renee ran the 4 km distance and her time brought her in in fourth place today. Nada was next and Tessa and Jozica ran the home stretch together until Tessa went for her usual sprint home. Jacinta rounded out today's field.
It was a milestone day for Paul who has completed his 200th event this morning.
There were two runners who managed personal best times this morning over their chosen distances:
Mathis beat last week's time by 38 seconds for the 2 km course, and
Atsuko took 1 second off her previous best 5 km time.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on SUNDAY 6 August at 7:30 am.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 376
It was great to have our first French visitor running with us this morning. Welcome to Mathis who is a French exchange student staying with Louanna while he is in Australia. Mathis ran the 2 km distance this morning with Louanna while Paul walked that distance. Hopefully this wont be the last time we see you at River Runners.
Seven others started out in the longer (handicapped) distances this week and we saw a beautifully timed run from Atsuko to see her first over the line after the 30 minute mark. Nada is still the one to beat this season and she ran into second position, just ahead of Tessa with Alicia in fourth. There was only one second separating Jon and Jacinta in fifth and sixth positions respectively, and Harrison rounded out the field today, running a 3 km distance.
There was no-one who ran their Personal Best time over their chosen distance this week, but one person was within 15 seconds of their PB:
well run Atsuko!
Next week the run will be on Saturday 29 July at 7:30 am.

Run 375
There were seven brave starters down by the river to run 2, 3, 4 or 5 km this morning in the cold. Thanks to Peter who came down to keep the times again this morning.
Paul was the only competitor who took to the 2 km and walked with his dogs today. In the longer (handicapped) distances, James took the lead this morning and managed to be the first person home after the 30 minute mark, earning him the first position points for the first time this season. Nada came in second and continues to sit at the top of the leaderboard for another season. Steve, who pulled out after 3 km due to an injury, managed a commendable third place with his 3 km time, and Jon, Tessa and Jacinta rounded out the field.
No-one was within 15 seconds of their personal best time over their chosen distance this morning and no-one managed to beat their PB either. It must have been too cold.
Next week the run will be at 7:30 am on Saturday 22 July. The start/finish line is at the pergola near the lizard sculpture at the bottom of Stiggants Reserve.

Run 374
Eight people braved the cold to come down for the run/walk along the banks of the Yarra in Warrandyte this week. Thanks to Peter for coming along to be timekeeper again this week.
Monica was back with a vengeance in a perfectly timed 5 km run, she was first over the line and just after the 30 minute mark - well done. Steve ran into second place and Tessa was in third, just ahead of Nada (who continues to lead the points table for the season). Jozica and Jacinta were the last runners in from the longer distances. Over the shorter (2 km) distance, Louanna was the first home and Paul walked the dogs again.
There was no-one who ran a PB this week, but Monica was within 15 seconds of her PB for the 5 km distance.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 15 July at 7:30 am.

Run 373
I've just realised I hadn't updated the details from last week's run and thought I'd better get onto that before we run again tomorrow.
It was a cold morning and that seems to have kept away a few runners, so that there were only 7 starters and the temperature seems to have slowed down the times as well this week!
Nada ran fastest over the longer distances and came in first after the 30 minute mark. This has moved her to the top of the consistency table again - great running Nada. Alicia ran into second position just ahead of Tessa. Helen and Peter took out the fourth and fifth places respectively and Jozica was last over the line. Paul is still trying to figure out his injury and walked the 2 km course with his dogs.
No-one was within 15 seconds of their PB this week and no-one ran a personal best time for their chosen distance.
Next week (tomorrow) the run will be on Saturday 8 July at 7:30 am.
