It was a beautiful morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra today and it was great to see 16 people down for the run/walk this week. Thanks to Jacinta for doing the timekeeping before going on her run today.
There were two people who took the 2 km walk option, although it became a running race at the end and Rachel managed to just beat Mark home. In the longer distances it was Kieran who was first over the line after the 30 minute mark, with Linda and Randall nipping at his heels. In fourth place was Jozica, followed closely by Cormick. Peter and Monica managed sixth and seventh places respectively. Jon came in ahead of Atsuko to secure eight position, and Steve, Matthew, Connie, Paul and Jacinta rounded out today's field.
There was one Personal Best time recorded today:
Well done to Connie, who took 1 minute 47 seconds off her previous best time.
Two people were within 15 seconds of their PB:
well run Linda and Cormick.
Next weekend is a market weekend and Run Warrandyte will be happening, so we will meet on Thursday evening for anyone who can come along. That will be at 6:00 pm on Thursday 28 February.
New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.

Run 456
It was a lovely morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra River today and 11 competitors joined today's run. It was good to see Linda back again and thanks to Nada for doing the timing after running earlier this morning.
There were two competitors who walked the 2 km distance this morning, Atsuko and Paul. In the longer, handicapped distances, two runners were too quick this morning coming in before the 30 minute mark: Kieran and Randall. Cormick managed to be the first over the line today just after 30 minutes. Nada ran her first 4 km today, so her time was adjusted for this and she gained a second place. Jacinta was only four seconds ahead of Linda in third and fourth places respectively. Jon, Jozica and Monica rounded out today's field.
Apologies for the results last week. I made a few errors and have adjusted the details since. The main change was the Randall was included and managed to come second. That has then affected all the remaining places.
There were three runners who ran Personal Best times this week:
Randall took another 46 seconds off his previous best,
Cormick was 51 seconds faster than his previous PB, and
Kieran managed to beat his best time for 5 km by 54 seconds.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 23 February at 7:30 am.

Run 455
This weekend saw 12 runners or walkers down by the Yarra for the weekly run. Thanks to Jacinta for doing the timekeeping this week before completing her run. We welcomed two new competitors this week in Linda and Connie. It was great to see you here and we hope to see you again.
Two competitors took the 2 km walk option - Nada and Stephen. In the longer runs, Jozica came back from her holiday and was in fine form, coming in before the 30 minute mark and breaking this week. That left the win open for Cormack, and the first five places came in within 25 seconds of each other. Kieran took out second place only a second ahead of Monica. Alicia and Atsuko were not far behind. Linda was awarded sixth place, and Steve, Jacinta and Connie rounded out the rest of the field.
Two runners managed to run personal best times today:
Cormick took 35 seconds off his previous 5 km best time, and
Kieran took 24 seconds off his PB.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 16 February at 7:30 am.
We announced the winners of last season and awarded their trophies and medals. In the kids section, the winner of Season 27 was Matthew (75 points) with Alicia (52 points) runner up. In the adult division, Randall took out the win with a total of 146 points for the season including 6 wins. Peter was in second place with 74 points. Congratulations to all 31 of the runners who competed in Season 27.

Run 454
It was a warm morning for the run or walk along the banks of the Yarra this morning and we had seven participants in the 2, 3, 4 and 5km distances. Thanks to Nada for walking early and then doing the timekeeping for us today.
Nada and Margaret walked the 2 km distance today, Margaret ably assisted by Errol and Saga! In the longer distances Randall thought he was running slowly, but still managed to come in before the 30 minute mark, breaking again this week. That left the win open for Jacinta, who came in ahead of Atsuko. Paul managed third place and Steve rounded out the field today and it was great to see him back with the group.
There were two personal best times recorded today:
Randall took another 53 seconds off his previous 5 km PB, and
Nada walked the 2 km distance 3 minutes and 58 seconds than she has previously.
No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.
Next week the run will be on Saturday 9 February at 7:30 am, and we will have the presentation of last season's trophies and prizes after the run.
