Run 642 and 643

Run 642

On the Sunday of the Melbourne Cup "long weekend" there were only two starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte. Thanks go, once again, to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties.

With only two runners, and running independently of each other, it was amazing that once the handicaps were added to the times, there was only two seconds between first and second place. Nada took out the win this week, with Tony in second place.

Nobody managed a personal best time or was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Run 643

It was quite a warm morning that saw six starters in the run along the river today. Thanks to Nada for being the time-keeper after her run. We welcomed a new runner, Alex, who started with us this morning. Hopefully we will continue to see you running with the group in the future.

After handicaps were added onto the times (as most people decided to run off scratch today), it was new runner, Alex, who managed the win today, beating Paul by six seconds, and achieving the maximum points for his run. In third place this wee was Jon, only five seconds ahead of Nada. Renee managed fifth place and Jozica was the last runner over the line.

Only Alex managed a personal best time today, and nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 18 November with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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