Run 557 and 558

Run 557

This week saw 7 runners/walkers starting in our weekly event. Thanks to Jacinta for coming down to do the time keeping duties today.

Jacinta was the only person to take on the 2 km distance today. In the longer, handicapped distances, it was Atsuko who was first over the finish line, followed closely by Tessa. Nada managed third place ahead of Jon. Renee and Alicia rounded out the field this week.

There were no Personal Best times recorded this week and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.


Run 558

It was a beautiful morning for the run along the banks of the Yarra this week. We decided to all take off together and had the handicaps added on to the runs afterwards. Thanks to Jozica for coming along this morning to do the timing duty.

Once the handicaps were added, it was Tessa who took out the win this week, just ahead of Hayden who continues to run well. Tony came in third place ahead of Paul. Jon managed fifth place this week and Atsuko and Alicia were the final runners over the line.

There were no Personal Best times recorded this week, but two runners we're within 15 seconds of their PB: well run Tony and Hayden.

Next week will be the Market on Saturday and Run Warrandyte on Sunday so we will not be running over the weekend. The suggestion has been made that we could run on Tuesday 8 March in the evening,  starting at 6:00 pm. If this doesn't suit, please get in touch with me and we will go with the majority.

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