I will enter the ballot, I am not willing to pay exorbitant charity pledges, if i dont get in this year I intend to put in some real training after this summers tri season and target a qualifying time of 1hr 30 for a half which should be achievable, i will go below 1hr40 this year while undertaking tri training, with specific run focus and loss of a stone i will be able to get to 1hr 30 within next 15 months.

Thanks JP! I figured there must be another thread out there somwehere.
I'm a 1:44 half runner - so can't quite see myself making the 1.37 mark - this year.... but maybe in time?
Think I'm probably going to travel out with 2:09 events. Not sure I want to wait until ballot results to find out if I am in or not!
