Not in.

I started checking the entrant database at 10:30am to see if maybe they were loading the data early, but they hadn't. At 10:57am, the site was loading fine, but the results were still unavailable. At 11:00am on the dot, the marathon web site crashed. Overloaded with hits, it would just not load.

Finally at 11:34am I was able to get a peek into the entrant database. I didn't get selected. I know at least 3 other people who entered the lottery and none of us got selected. It looks like I'm gonna be cycling.

  • Sorry to hear the disappointing news. Summer is hard to run anyways. Great job thus far though.

  • Well, Jon, that just means we get to run it together next year...hopefully. Even if I don't make it, I'll still come up to cheer for you.

    In the meantime, don't quit on running, buttnut. You've still got two more NYRR races and the Army Ten Miler. I don't think you should continue your "I only run when I race" training program.
