postieboy Mar 2012 5:36am, 6 Mar 2012 935 posts	0 postieboy I believe so. That's how I found out, with an e-mail giving me priority entry to the ballot opening on 19th March
hyperboy Mar 2012 5:55am, 6 Mar 2012 862 posts	0 hyperboy That's just typical isn't it as if i get knocked back this year that would be four and i would have been guaranteed next time oh well!!
DeeGee Mar 2012 8:29am, 6 Mar 2012 11,188 posts	0 DeeGee The advantage, though, is that fewer folk will enter with no intention of running simply to defer because they have to keep up their record of applications. That's what I'm hoping anyway, seeing as how I'll never run 3.10.

DeeGee Mar 2012 8:37am, 6 Mar 2012 11,191 posts	0 DeeGee I have two bites of the cherry for GFA between now and then. I ain't chasing them. It'll have to wait until either a year when I'm fitter, or 20 years or so when the target's so much easier
Always last Mar 2012 8:43am, 6 Mar 2012 423 posts	0 Always last Got my email for the "priority entry ballot" last night as well.. Having been rejected 4 times previously it looks like I'm doing the 2013 VLM I'm sure I've seen a thread round here somewhere about advice for first time marathoners????
