Run 386 and a question about Summer starting times

It was a lovely morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra today. There were 11 starters over all of the distances (2, 3, 4 and 5 km) this morning, and we thank Nada fro running early and then being our timekeeper today.

Monica took off like a rocket today and managed to be the first person back over the line, but unfortunately she was under the 30 minute mark and so was considered to break today. That left the win open for Angela who came in just after the 30 minute mark, just 4 seconds ahead of Nada's time. James was in third place, again only seconds ahead of Will. Henry managed to come in fifth, with Adrienne in sixth place. Steve, Paul and Jacinta rounded out the field for the longer distances. Elizabeth was the only runner on the 2 km course and she continues to run well over this distance.

After five runs, James is sitting on top of the consistency leaderboard just one point ahead of Atsuko with Will in third place. Looks like being a close season.

There were three runners who ran personal best times over their chosen distance today:
Will beat his previous 3 km PB by 15 seconds,
Angela beat her PB by 10 seconds, and
Monica took 10 seconds off her previous PB.

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

Next week the run will be on Sunday 8 October at 7:30 am.

In previous years, as we change to daylight savings time, we usually begin our Saturday runs at 7:00 am instead of 7:30 (the Sunday time remains at 7:30 all year round). I have been asked if people would like to leave the Saturday time at 7:30 as well. Could you please respond by emailing me (or responding to the email sent out) with a preference for Saturday times: START AT 7:00; START AT 7:30; or DON'T MIND EITHER WAY. I will collate the responses and let you know the decision. Thanks

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