Run 662

The weather has certainly cooled off over the last few weeks and there was a chill in the air for the six starters in the run this morning. Thankfully there was no rain around even though it was quite misty. Thanks to Colin for coming along to do the time keeping duties this week.

Nada was restricted to walking this week but still took on the 2 km distance. In the longer distances Jon was the first person over the line today, but he managed too quick of a time and came in before the allocated 30 minute mark as a breaker. That left the win ope to Atsuko, who ran a perfectly-timed run coming in at exactly 30 minutes. Paul managed second place just ahead of Monica, and Jozica was the final runner over the finish line.

Jon's time was his quickest for the 4 km distance, beating his previous PB by one minute. Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next weekend is the Warrandyte Festival on Friday and Saturday, so we will hold off on the run until Sunday (21 April) morning with the timer starting at 7:30 am for our second-last run of the season.

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