Congrats, I'll see you there. I had guaranteed entry and finally pulled the trigger last week. I couldn't resist the 50th anniversary thing. And I am a sucker for the NYC marathon merchandise--hands down the best!So......I got my acceptance last night!
Of course it happens after I post and kvetch about it....and after I decided to contact them on their FB page (they just replied that they were still checking and IF there were spots left and IF they could verify my time, then I would get in, else it would roll into lottery)
Wow. Did not know about the virtual thing. How easy was that to get in/which tier did you do?
Just tried to log into the NYRR page to check my status, it said there is excessive traffic on the site and you should check your credit card charges to see if you got in through the lottery. Didn't have the presence of mind to take a screen shot of the message.
Well. My credit card was charged. Can't believe it.
Maybe I'll believe it if/when I get an email or see it on the site.
It’s real. I‘m in! First marathon, and it’s my hometown. I didn’t feel ready in years past, but now I can’t wait to actually run this race instead of wistfully volunteering or cheering.Ah!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you!
