Have you heard back as to whether or not you can enter on the day? I've missed the pre-entry date aswell but really want to do the race. I've emailed the organised but so far no response - maybe I'm just impatient!
Yep, you will be fine. We sent our entries off last week. Got a nice email back from the organiser, he didn't seem too troubled by my dissorganisation, glad of a couple more entries I think.
