Well I'm planning to be there, either Fetchpoint or running.

This is like a one in seven chance, right?

If I put 2:05 down as my predicted time for 2012 do you think I will get guaranteed entry?

I think they've heard how good you are at Fetchpoint John and so are doing the rest of us a good turn by saying no to you!

Perhaps I should have said
"This will be 5th bequeathed rejection"

In the past, the London Marathon has been able to offer a guaranteed race entry to runners after 5 consecutive unsuccessful ballot applications.
Unfortunately, due to the incredible growth in numbers of applicants, we have decided that we cannot continue to operate this system in future.
However, we acknowledge that it would be unfair to remove this well established system without notice so instead, we have decided on a phased withdrawal of the system over the next few marathons by introducing a Priority Online Ballot Entry Scheme for the benefit of all previous applicants with at least 2 rejected ballot entry applications in 2009 and 2010.
Our records show that you have made 4 consecutive unsuccessful applications and as a result we are offering you the opportunity to maintain your record of consecutive applications in the ballot by following the link from this special invitation email to the Priority Online Ballot Entry System and completing your registration in advance of the main public ballot, which opens on Tuesday 4th May.
The username and password provided below are exclusively for your use and cannot be used by anyone else.
You will retain your place in the Priority Online Ballot Entry Scheme until you either obtain a place in the race through the ballot entry process in the normal way, or you qualify under the 'five times consecutively rejected' rule highlighted above, whichever comes first.
In addition, in order to remain in the Priority Online Ballot Entry Scheme you must keep us updated with any change in your email address so that we can be sure that we can contact you in subsequent years until the scheme finally closes.
Lastly, please note that you must complete your priority application by 5pm on Friday, 30th April 2010 otherwise you will lose your place in the Priority Online Ballot Entry Scheme. You will still be able to apply through the main public ballot for the 2011 race which opens on Tuesday 4th May but you lose your rights outlined above.
If you have any questions about your place in the Virgin London Marathon Priority Online Ballot Entry Scheme, please call our Helpdesk on 020 7902 0200.
We look forward to receiving your priority application by the deadline highlighted above and wish you every success in the ballot for the 2011 race.
Yours sincerely
Dave Bedford - Race Director, Virgin London Marathon

I think its a bit crap really John. After all those rejections they should put you in. I'd tell 'em to stick their marathon and do Berlin instead!!
