Run 715 and 716

 Run 715   

This was the first run of Season 47 and saw five starters in the weekly run along the banks of the Birrarung/Yarra. 

Paul was the only person to take on the shorter, non-handicapped 2 km distance this week. In the longer distances, once the handicaps were added in, Atsuko was the first runner over the line with Dave in second place. Jon took out third place this week ahead of Nada.

There were no personal best times recorded, but two runners were within 15 seconds of their PBs - well run Atsuko and Dave.

Run 716

This cold Saturday morning had six runners in the event.

Once more, Paul was the only person to take on the shorter 2km distance. In the longer runs, Jon was first over the line today, ahead of Nada, Dave and Atsuko who were within 10 seconds of each other in a very close finish. Tony was the last runner over the line this week.

There were three personal best times recorded in the cold: Atsuko took 1 second off her previous PB, Dave took 5 seconds from his previous best time and Jon wiped another 8 seconds off his best time.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 17 May with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

We awarded the winners of Season 46 this morning and congratulate Alex as the winner of the kids section for last season. In the open section, the winner was Jon with 116 points from 9 runs, and the runner up was Atsuko with 102 points from her 14 runs. Special mention was made of Nada who ran 15 out of the 16 weeks in the last season.
