Run 623

There were seven starters in the run this weekend. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the timekeeping duties this week.

After the handicaps had been adjusted to those who didn't run off their allocated times, the winner of this week's run was Dave in a perfectly timed run coming in just after the 30 minute mark. Harrison was only two seconds behind the winner with Atsuko in third place. Tony came in fourth this week with Nada in fifth. Paul and Jozica were the last runners over the line.

There were two personal best times recorded this week with Harrison taking 11 seconds off his previous 5 km PB and Dave taking 21 seconds off his previous best 3 km time.

Next week the run will be on Sunday 2 July with the clock starting at 7:30 am.

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

Runs 621 and 622

 Run 621

Thanks to Atsuko for doing the timekeeping duties for this week. It was great to see Troy and Zhann return to have another go at the run this week.

Atsuko was the only person to take on the 2 km distance this week. Harrison was the first person over the line after the 30 minute mark in his first 6 km run with the group. Jon came in second, while Zhann and Troy were the last runners over the line today.

There were two personal best times recorded apart from people running their distance for the first time: Troy took 6 minutes and 26 seconds off his previous 6 km best time, and Atsuko took a massive 8 minutes and 5 seconds off her previous 2 km best.

Run 622

It was a lovely morning for the weekly run along the banks of the Yarra in Warrandyte. Thanks to Nada for running early and then doing the time-keeping duties this week.

Paul was the only person running the shorter, unhandicapped 2 km distance today. In the longer distances, Troy was the first over the line, but ran too quickly based on his previous 3 km time and finished before the 30 minute mark. This left the win open for Nada this week. Astuko took out second place ahead of Tony and Jozica was the last person over the line this week.

One person managed a personal best time this week: Congratulations to Troy who took 3 minutes and 55 seconds off his previous 3 km time. Great running.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 24 June with the clock starting at 7:30 am.

Run 620

We had four starters in the run along the bank of the Yarra in Warrandyte this week on Sunday morning after the market on Saturday. Thanks to Nada for doing the time-keeping duties once again.

Once the handicaps had been accounted for it was Atsuko who took out the first place this week, only one seconds ahead of Nada with Tony another six seconds behind. Troy took on the 6 km distance for the first time and was the last runner over the line this week.

Nobody managed a personal best time and no one was within 15 seconds of their previous PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 10 June with the timer beginning at 7:30 am.

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

Run 619

There were a massive nine starters in the run along the Yarra this week with a couple of new faces joining the group. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the timing again this week. Welcome to Zhann and Troy who joined the group this week. We hope to see you again in the future.

There was one person who took on the shorter, non-handicapped, 2 km distance this week: Jacinta. In the longer runs, the handicap system worked to bring home the two new runners at 31 minutes, making them both the winners of this week's run. Tony was only ten seconds behind them with Dave in fourth place just behind him. Nada was only seconds back in fifth place ahead of Atsuko in sixth. Jozica and Harrison were the last runners over the line this week.

Apart from the two new runners, nobody managed to run a personal best time this week and nobody was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on SUNDAY 4 June as the monthly market will be on Saturday. The clock will be starting at 7:30 am.
