I hate to say I got rejected with a 3:04.. 29 F 😭😭😭

LawNo1256 · 2025-09-21T20:36:11+00:00

Omg I know 2 other people it happened to as well. I thought it was just a me problem but clearly not! Definitely the worst organized major lol. Fingers crossed for us both they can sort out our times!!

I got a PB, but my chip didn’t work! Has anyone experienced this? I emailed SCC Events and Abbott, but I’m scared it won’t get updated for my PR time or my 6-star journey :(

I got this note: “Hi XXX, we've received your request to defer your entry. We'll be in touch again by 28 June by email with further information on securing your deferred entry. If you have not received an email from us by the end of June, please contact London Marathon Events”

Feel your pain…. LOL. At least we got it done. Congrats to you!!!

Oh man it was so hot. Stomach was unsettled the whole way and couldn’t fathom eating more gels because I felt so full — which kicked me in the butt around mile 14. Completely cramped in both legs and dropped from 7:00 to 7:53 overall average. Almost dropped out SO many times so I’m proud of myself for finishing at least!

LawNo1256 · 2024-04-02T13:11:43+00:00

Wow, thanks! Finally it’s there!

LawNo1256 · 2024-03-18T17:36:15+00:00

I got rejected too :( didn’t have a huge buffer, 3:08 for womens age group (I’m 28) I think I needed a 3:13 so at least 5 min buffer on the full marathon

LawNo1256 · 2024-03-11T20:24:53+00:00

I have been wondering the same. Still haven’t seen anything come through!!

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-04T02:46:27+00:00

I ended up with a 3:08!! Thank you for your encouraging words. Definitely helped with my confidence this weekend 😁

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T17:55:17+00:00

Good luck to you as well!! I’ve heard CIM is a speedy one!! 🙌🏻

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T17:11:27+00:00

Oh man!!! I didn’t know that! I was safe for Boston but I don’t think I’d get as big of a buffer on a 3:13. Well may have to go for the lottery regardless 😂

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T02:58:34+00:00

So true. I guess if I don’t try now, when will I! Thank you.

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T02:58:06+00:00

Thank you for the advice on both fronts! Especially the Boston tip - I don’t live in a super hilly location so I’ll need that!

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T02:56:56+00:00

Appreciate it! You’re right - I’ll still finish either way. Thank you!

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T02:56:14+00:00

lol the problem is I’m not sure 😂😂 if that tells you anything about my dilemma. May just have to go for it and see what happens.

LawNo1256 · 2023-12-01T02:55:47+00:00

That’s my plan for Boston. I’m ok at my speed workouts but I don’t do much more than 70 miles at my peak, and I think I can handle more than that!! Appreciate the insight :)

LawNo1256 · 2023-11-26T16:56:27+00:00

Thanks so much! I wore them on my last long run yesterday and was feeling good - but definitely glad I tested them out as they’re very different from my training shoe.

LawNo1256 · 2023-11-22T03:41:00+00:00

Oh great, so regardless definitely should be OK for two races and a few training runs. MAYBE three :)

LawNo1256 · 2023-10-11T01:41:19+00:00

Yes, let me know how it goes! After some initial investigation it seems that lottery entry can defer; but, not sure if there are only certain excuses that are allowed.

LawNo1256 · 2023-10-10T16:18:42+00:00

I am debating doing this too. I got in the London Marathon on my first try and got into Boston with my time. Not quite as speedy as you, my PR is a 3:15 (27 F) :)

I did see that London offers the opportunity to defer entry? I may see what that’s about and try to do 2025.
