I'm no Paula Radcliffe but last year in my first FLM I ran 4:38 and was placed 21,638,this year I ran 4:18 and was placed 12058.
20 minutes =9,580 places which seems an awful lot to me and judging by the amount of congestion around the whole course I wonder if there were a lot of runners that were 4:30+ competing this year.
What do you think?

i think 12058 position is men only,there may be a few thousand women in front as well.
I've used the FLM results page for both years to get the placings so it should be consistent even if there are a few thousand ladies ahead of me.
I was wondering the same thing. I haven't run FLM before this year, but did NYC in 2001, and came in 4,300 or so. This year, I ran about 7 minutes faster and came in at 476... 7 minutes= 3,800 places??? can that REALLY be right? Granted, they are different courses and different runners, etc, but it's weird!
