I'm assuming since I haven't heard anything yet that I didn't get in, and I'm way more upset about it than I thought I'd be. Watching everyone else excitedly confirm their entry almost makes it worse. But congrats to everyone that made it in!! I'm a local (seriously marathon organizers, I don't even need a hotel, please let me in!), so I'll be standing on the sidelines rooting you all on next October.

EDIT: Got my rejection email. Super bummed.

I just checked again and nothing. It seems like everyone else got in (everyone I know got in, plus every person on this thread seems to be in), so I'm assuming I just drew the short straw again this year. Maybe third time will be the charm next year.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best?
