Run 708

It was a lovely morning for the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte. Many thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties again this week for the six starters.

There was only one person, Paul, who took on the shortest, unhandicapped distance this week. In the longer distances, the first person over the line once the handicaps were allocated was Dave, but he had run too quickly, coming in before the 30 minute mark and therefore breaking this week. That left the win open to Nada, who came in ahead of Atsuko. Sandi took out third place with Margaret the last runner over the line this morning.

One runner managed to beat their previous personal best time for their chosen distance: great running Dave to take another 10 seconds off your PB. Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 15 March with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

Runs 706 and 707

There have been smaller numbers attending the runs over the past couple of weeks, so there has been the opportunity to pick up some bigger points for those competing.

Run 706

With only three people running this week, there was the opportunity to grab a high number of points for the run.

Atsuko was the first runner over the line once the handicaps were added on to run times. She was only eight seconds ahead of Tony in second place, with Dave in third position this week.

Two runners were within 15 seconds of their PBs for their chosen distances this week: Congratulations to Atsuko and Dave an some very good running.

Run 707

With only two runners starting this morning (most likely due to the concurrent start of Run Warrandyte this weekend), they chose to start from scratch and have their handicaps added on later.

Congratulations to Tony for taking out the win this week, just 3 seconds ahead of Nada.

Neither runner managed to be within 15 seconds of their PB this week.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 8 March with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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