Another rejection letter from the New York Marathon lottery! I'm trying to save money so this is good news!

My reaction exactly! I would have gone had my name been drawn, but I'm happy it wasn't. 2021 would be a much better year for me.

If I'm reading this right, 185,000 of us submitted applications, for which they gave out 4,200 spots?

Almost makes you want to try your luck at qualifying, doesn't it? It is more reasonable for me to think I could run a 1:28 half, than it is to think I would be selected out of that size of a pool. Challenge Accepted. Let's Go!

Okay then, all three of us will aim to qualify for the 2021 NY Marathon! Talk about a goal. But yeah, better than the 2.3% odds of getting your name drawn.
