Run 705

It was a cloudy and cool 13 degrees along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra as seven people took on the run with our group this week.

Jon was the first runner home this week in a very well-timed run, coming in just after the 30 minute mark. Atsuko ran well into second place, just one second ahead of Nada in third position. Dave was the fourth runner home, with Tony taking out fifth place this week. James was in sixth place and Sandi was the last runner to finish the event.

There were two personal best times recorded this week: Jon took another 43 seconds off his previous PB and Dave took on the 4 km distance for the first time. One other runner was within 15 seconds of their PB: well run Atsuko.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 22 February with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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