With only a week to go until the end of the season there was a sense of friendly competition down at the river this morning.  Both Randall and Atsuko managed PBs today but it was Randall first across the line followed by Daniel, who continues to improve.  Next it was Atsuko with Mark not far behind.  Nada, Louanna, Jacinta and Tessa all came in within 30 seconds of each other with Adrienne, Jon and Jozica rounding out the field.  Father/son duo, Mark and Daniel were within 15 seconds of their PBs this week.

Thank you to Monica for time keeping for us.

Next weeks run will be a mass start at 7.30am sharp on Saturday 28th April.

Run 413

We had 15 runners joining us down at the river this morning.  It was great to see Adrienne running with us again after a short break, and congratulations to Atsuko, James, Jozica and Peter on completing the Geelong Half Marathon last weekend.

There was one runner and one passenger in the shorter 2km distance.  Jacinta and her son, Christopher, who thoroughly enjoyed the ride in his stroller.

It was a thrilling finish in the longer distances with the first 3 over the line all coming in with PBs this week.  Randall continues to run well, just one second ahead of Renee, but it was Mark across the line in first place by only 2 seconds.  Tessa, Louanna, Monica, Sandi and Adrienne also came in within a 90 second period just to keep us on our toes.

The socks go to number 3 this week, congratulations Renee!

Run 411

It was a mild morning for the start of the run along the banks of the Yarra today. There were 13 starters all up.

In the 2 km section, we had one starter in Harrison. For the longer, handicapped section it seemed that people were keen to head out quickly. Amelia was too quick and came in before the 30 minute mark. That means that the first person over the line ofter 30 minutes was Atsuko, giving her her fifth win for this season! Randall came in second and Mark, Monica and Nada were not far behind. Daniel was next in, ahead of Jozica, Jacinta and Peter. Steve and Tessa rounded out the field.

There was only one Personal Best time recorded today:
Amelia beat her previous 4km PB

Well run to everyone who showed up.

The next run will be on Sunday 8th April (due to the market on Saturday)  at 7:30am 

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