OK it's the end of the working day in NY and their website hasn't been updated.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow :-(

Night all

[Deleted User] · May 2005

I'm in on the lottery! Woo Hoo!

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Well done SM. you lucky bu**er, not a sausage for me yet.

Did you get an email or check the website?

[Deleted User] · May 2005

I checked the web-site. No email yet. I think its taking some time for other ones to come through

[Deleted User] · May 2005

I've had a look at all entries from GB and can see some dribbling through. Hopefully you have some luck BT.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

The web page has changed slightly. it tells overseas entrants to check the entrant database for lottery info.

In the entrant database I have "accepted" next to my name where it used to say "lottery" so I'm guessing I'm in. Other overseas folk still have "lottery" next to them. Dunno whether that means they're out, or they just haven't been processed yet. Can't see anyone with "rejected" next to them....

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Oh dear, I've just listed all the GB peeps on the Entrant database and about 1 in 6 are showing as accepted when before all after the first page were lottery. I'm afraid no news is bad news

Unless they haven't finished yet, the site did say almost half should get in. But if it's computerised then all the numbers would be allocated together very quickly

Plum · May 2005

[Deleted User] · May 2005

[Deleted User] · May 2005

[Deleted User] · May 2005

[Deleted User] · May 2005

im not in - 4 rejections FLM - 2 rejections NYC

P****D off now

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Not lucky, will have to get a GFA for next year then!
Off to Dublin or Berlin instead then!

Always Aching · May 2005

Sorry to those who've missed out.

I'm in on qualifying time and Mr AA got in through the ballot!! He's never even run a marathon before - it'll be an experience.

Can't wait!

[Deleted User] · May 2005

I didn't get in. :-( Good luck to those who did! :-)

[Deleted User] · May 2005

No luck for me this year.I'll try again next year.

I thought I would be dead lucky if i got in considering i did FLM first time this year on my 1st application.

Good luck to those that got in

[Deleted User] · May 2005

I got in! First time lucky! Feel terrible though for everyone who didn't get in...

Redhead · May 2005

Not in :-(((( 3 FLM rejections and 1 NY.

Good luck to everyone who got in.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Double bah! Didn't make it so I guess this is farewell to this forum

/

Congratulations to all those off to the Big Apple in November - have a bagel or six for me!

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Sorry to hear about the rejections. Another option for you guys in the US could be Chicago (October) - cracking city with lots to see and excellent marathon AND THERE'S NO BALLOT!

http://www.chicagomarathon.com

Toucan - sounds like we have similar Autumn plans - I'm after a PB in Berlin followed by jolly in NYC - I want to do the run justice and not really struggle like last time.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Second Pseudo's view. Last year left it too late and did Chicago. Great race too and brilliant for shopping

Sorry to hear about the rejections!

LittleRedCorvette · May 2005

So if you have 'lottery' next to your name still is that a definite no?

Bugger.

[Deleted User] · May 2005

Did they send you an email, P?

Howdy, Stranger!
