Me too. I was beginning to worry as getting through this year would cause problems but I think I will try again next year. πŸ˜€

I know how disappointing you must feel but I would be so thrilled if I thought I could even apply. Being at the level of Marathon Running is awesome in and of itself. Best wishes for next year :)

Think I've led you astray - we didn't get places. Probably just as well. I keep applying for things and then wondering what on earth I thought I was doing.

Why would they knock you back? Is it a question of too many people? Or do they feel a person is not fit enough? Or is it a lottery?

It is a ballot. I did read 269,000 entrants for 17 or 19,000 places so we were all sort of expecting it!
