I've done Rome, Nelski. Fantastic course, you will love it (apart from the long stretch of cobbles near the end.....ouch!)

If you haven't heard yet, check your junk mail, that's where I found my rejection email.

I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere before but does anyone have some breakdowns of London Marathon entrants? GFA, Charity, Ballot etc. Would find it very interesting and depressing.

How many spots were the 247,000 ballot entries shooting for?

I think it was calculated there were circa 25K places to shoot for, is a 1 in 10 chance.

Didn't get in. A wee bit disappointed but I'll get over it!

I see that the ballot will be open from May 4 to 8 but does not specify whether there will be a cap ...
