Run 478

It was a beautiful morning for a run along the banks of the Yarra in Warrandyte today and we had 13 starters across all distances (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 km). Thanks very much to Jacinta for coming down for the time-keeping duties today and thanks as always to Quintons SUPA IGA for the fruit hamper. At the end of the run it was noticed that there was a platypus playing in the river just behind our start/finish line!

There were two walkers who took on the 2 km course today, Rachel and Mark. In the longer distances, once the handicaps were added in, it was Randall who was first over the line, but he had run too quickly and came in before the 30 minute mark and has broken today. That left the win open for Jozica who was only nine seconds ahead of Jon in second place, with Matthew only one second behind him. Nada ran well into fourth position ahead of James and Kaje. Paul took out seventh place today, just two seconds ahead of Atsuko. Tessa and Adrienne were the last runners over the line.

There were two personal best times recorded today:
Jozica took 20 seconds off her previous best, and
Randall was 29 seconds faster than his previous 4 km PB.

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

Next week the run will be on Saturday 27 July at 7:30 am.

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