Get used to that feeling once the 'long' run training kicks in Herman, though full-dead may describe it better

Haha, I'm dreading the Half in September, not going to think about a full just yet as I'll probably run and hide somewhere

Ok, I'm in the ballot to see if they'll let me try to do more than the London Half next year. Got a reference number (VLM13-176631) and reading the above I'll not hold my breath for the confirmation email.
Anyone know why it takes them 5 months to pick some names out of a hat?

God knows why it takes so long, especially when the ballot will be closed within the next 24hrs!

If they just let us know after a month or so, then the poor rejected (which I have every confidence I will be a member of) could at least enter Brighton or other similar decent marathon, and not be left facing the risk of doing Manchester instead...

It takes a long time to write 100,000 rejection letters by hand. If the one member of the organising staff wrote one personalised rejection letter every 3 minutes that would take 143 working weeks - assuming no time off for sickness or holidays etc. I think they're doing pretty well to do it as quickly as they do.

I guess they need to know how many GFA entries etc they will have before they know how many ballot places are available. I'm assuming their focus will be on the Bupa London 10,000 for the next month or so. They don't employ that many staff...
