Run 709

It was a beautiful morning for a run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte this morning before the predicted heat of today. Thanks to Jozica and Colin for coming along this morning to do the timekeeping duties this week.

After the handicaps were added on to some of the runs and start times adjusted according to the time sheet the results this week had Jon come over the line in first place in a beautifully timed run, finishing just two seconds after the 30 minute mark. It was a real tussle for second place with Dave coming in just one second before Atsuko, but as she had left the start line a second later than her handicap this has resulted in a draw for second place! Margaret came in fourth place this week ahead of Nada in fifth position. Tony was only 15 seconds back in sixth. James ran well into seventh position and Sandi took out eighth. Paul was the last runner over the line this week.

There was a random number draw with the number chosen being 6, meaning our sixth place runner, Tony, wins himself a new pair of socks. Congratulations.

There were four personal best times recorded this week, with Atsuko taking 15 seconds off her previous PB, Dave reducing his by 23 seconds, Jon taking 28 seconds off his previous best and Margaret taking 1 minute and 9 seconds off her PB recorded last week.

After the run we announced that this week was Jon's 300th run with the group - Congratulations on reaching this milestone, Jon.

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

Some advance notice that the run the following week will be moved to the Sunday after the Warrandyte Festival. We will run on Sunday 30 March starting at the usual time of 7:30 am.

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