Just entered ballot, connected to server first time I tried, took only five minutes to go through all the sceens and pay. Confirmation email sent straight away.
right to be fair to Virgin I just got on and it was an easy process to fill in the forms very quick at this time of day too.Doesn't guarantee a place mind! The trouble is that Virgin will probably get loads of stick about this now for ever, still I'm giving them te benefit of te doubt for the time being.................
Saying that it was a mare trying to get on just a few hours ago!
I entered at 2am and my husband and sister got a confirmation email but I didn't. I definitely got the Thank you page and daren't enter again incase I get all entries disqualified
Have finally done it - still very slow and pages timing out but have my confirmation e-mail. Hope Mr Bedford and Mr Branson have a good old time explaining this fiasco!!!

Applied...though only got the wordlpay confirmation email so far, so still a wee bit worried.
All this effort and its still only a 6-1 shot of getting a place!
Phew - just had a mug of camomile tea to soothe me though the process twice while I did mine and my OH's entries.
All done now - hopefully I'll be more prductive at work today! Thanks for providing somewhere to rant RW
Numbers were 127022 and 128357 BTW
JB - i've got both confirmations through already.
Good luck everybody!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got through so best cross fingers from now till October! Best go for a run but think rigor has set in!!!!!
CHECK YOUR JUNK EMAIL, AS MY CONFIRMATON EMAIL WENT INTO THAT INBOX!!
After a day of fruitless page refreshing I finally managed to register for myself & my hubby at 11pm last night! Phew!
Got payment & entry confirmations for me but so far only the payment confirmation for my husband. Hopefully everything will be okay.
Now, just have to hope to get an actual race place!
Good luck everyone!
Thanks Richard,
Heart rate and stress levels now back to normal
