Runs 703 and 704

Run 703

There were seven starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte this week in the warm weather. Thanks to Monica for doing the time-keeping duties this week with the runners choosing to have a mass start and add the handicaps on afterwards.

Dave was once again the first runner over the line after the handicaps were added to run times this week, with Jon in second place.Nada ran well into third place. There was only two seconds gap between Tony in fourth place and Atsuko in fifth. Sandi took out sixth position and James was the last runner over the line.

There was one personal best time recorded this week wth Jon taking a huge 2 minutes and 6 seconds off his previous 5 km PB. Dave was the only other runner within 15 seconds of their PB.

We announced the winners of Season 45 after the race this week and congratulate Alex on being the winner for the kids' section of our runs, with 32 points from 5 runs with th group through the season. In the Open section, the winner of the season was Dave, with a total of 149 points from 10 runs which included seven wins this season, and second place went to Nada with 83 points from 13 runs (only the best 10 runs are added into the scoring each season).


Run 704

This week's run was taken out by Atsuko, who managed to come in ahead of Dave. Third place went to Jon just ahead of Nada. Tony as in fifth position this week, with James in sixth, and Paul was the last runner over the line.
