Run 633

It was a chilly start to Fathers' Day that saw six runners in the run along the bank of the Yarra Birrarung in Warrandyte this morning. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties once more this week.

It was a quick run this morning and the first person over the line in a perfectly timed run, coming in at exactly 30 minutes, was Harrison. Dave was less than 30 seconds behind him in second place, just outrunning Paul in third. Nada managed fourth position once her handicap was added to her run time, and there was nothing to separate Tony and Atsuko who were the final runners over the line today.

Two people managed to run within 15 seconds of the Personal Best times this morning, well done to Harrison and Paul. A huge congratulations to Dave who managed to beat his previous PB for the 3 km distance by 2 seconds.

The presentations for last season were held this morning, with the winner of the Open Section and recipient of the "Jodi and Rob Clarke Trophy" being Atsuko who managed to gain 113 points from 14 runs including 6 wins for the season. In second place was Nada with 77 points from 14 runs including 2 wins. In the Under 18 Section, the winner of the "Peter Cross Memorial Trophy" was Harrison who gained 42 points from his 8 runs for the season, narrowly beating Troy who came in with 41 points from his 5 runs. Well done to all 12 people who ran with us during Season 41.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 9 September with the clock starting at 7:30 am.

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