I'll bear that in mind.....:D
Just thankful I told a little bit of a white lie in terms of my likely finish time, which enabled me to edge a bit further forward on starting time.
Yes, as @Bozza mentions, I find myself in this unenviable position on Sunday (I know of at least one other long-time Albion fan in the same boat). Having tried without success to get a ballot place in the London Marathon for well over ten years, I was delighted to final get a place this time...
