Run 760

It was a warm weekend, but the seven starters still managed to work up a sweat as they ran along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte. Many thanks to James, who continues to come along to handle the timekeeping duties this season.

Atsuko was the first runner home this week but finished before the 30 minute mark and was therefore recorded as a breaker. This left the win open to Stephen, who completed a well-timed walk. Sandi followed in second place, not far behind. Nada was the next runner over the line, ahead of Jozica and Dave who finished within seconds of each other. Paul was the final runner to finish.

Two personal best times were recorded this week. Well done to Stephen for taking another 12 seconds off his previous best, and to Atsuko who improved her PB by 19 seconds. Sandi was the only other runner to finish within 15 seconds of her PB.

Next week is the Warrandyte Festival, so the riverbank will be very busy on Saturday morning. The run will therefore be held on Sunday 22 March with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

Run 758

It was still very muggy as five runners met by the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra for the weekly run through Warrandyte. Many thanks to James for coming along this morning to handle the timekeeping duties.

Stephen was the first person to cross the line after completing his 3 km walk, but he moved quickly through the course and finished before the 30 minute mark, so he was recorded as a breaker. This left the win open to Sandi as the first runner over the line after 30 minutes. Paul finished in second place ahead of Nada, with Monica the final runner to complete the course.

Two personal best times were recorded this week. Sandi took 16 seconds off her previous PB. Stephen also recorded an impressive improvement, taking 1 minute and 20 seconds off his previous best time.

Run 759

There were six starters in the run this week, and the weather had turned much cooler. Many thanks once again to James for coming along to handle the timekeeping.

Paul was the only competitor to take on the 2 km non-handicapped distance. In the longer distances the finish was much closer, with the first three runners all in sight of each other at the end. Jozica was first over the line with Atsuko close behind, while Nada finished not far back in third place. Stephen finished in fourth position, with Dave the final runner over the line.

Only one person finished within 15 seconds of their personal best this week. Well run to Jozica for earning the bonus points.

The next run will be on Saturday 21 March with the timer starting at 7:30 am.
