I had only done two AS and a BM when I entered last year, but I had just started, belonged to a club, and put down the events that I was planning on doing between Feb and July and got accepted straight away. I imagine each case is assessed separately, and just because a person has done an AM two weeks ago doesn't mean they are more likely to be able to run up Snowdon than an Olympic swimmer who has never run a fell race or 1/2 marathon before. As IainR says, give the organiser a ring, I'm sure you will be fine.
Oh well its in the post,i'm sure if he has any doubts he will get in touch with me.I hope my half decent time in the valleys race will be considered.Fingers crossed
good luck with the application, i'm sure explaining things and showing your obvious enthusiasm will hold you in good stead
Count me in. Just had the acceptance email as well.
looks like we'll have high numbers Pinno, people might think we are quite good!
Had a reply today......didn't get in !! He didn't even wait to see my valleys result.Which is strange as he stated i hadn't run much recently.Never mind i have replied and included my '08 results,6th(hangover hobble),5th(delamere dash),2nd(dash in the dark),19th valleys ! I didnt include the first 3 in original application as they were not AM/L races which rarely get run at this time of year anyway.
If i don't get in i can't wait to come and watch if the field is full of 500 runners with better results,i thought the olympics were in Beijing !!!
Why do they want your e-mail address if they don't use it to contact you ??? Would have saved 3 stamps and about a week !!
Im in.
