<p>Oh my, wake up Looki! Is the lottery open now? I was reading through it the other day, and for some reason I was thinking it didn't open until December. Need to get on it! If I get in, I would love to do it. I think. Maybe. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""></p>

<p>In!! Well, in the lottery, that is. Now I'm scared I may actually get in. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edited to add: any clue as to how difficult it is to get in through the lottery?</p>

Go for it!! Well, at least the lottery! I don't know what the chances are of getting in,but it looks like if you are picked, you have 48 hours to actually sign up for the race. It would be fantastic if we had a LIT meet-up for this <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>

<p>Yay!!! I thought the team name was for if you were on a masters team or something? I put my masters team name, but I could prolly change that if we all got in and actually signed up. Exciting!!</p>

<p>Crap. And it says the whole process could take 4-5 days. I'm so impatient!! <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>
<p>Good lord this has been an unproductive morning. The fact that I may not know anything for 4-5 days does not bode well for my work/family life <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

<p>There are 2 entrants. I'm not one of them <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

I would hope it means they paid, or we're going to be doing this an awfully long time if they've only picked 2 people so far <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""><br>

<p>I am going to assume (because it makes me feel more hopeful) that because none of us have heard anything (right?) that either:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>a. They have not sent out e-mails to those selected yet, or</p>
<p> </p>
<p>b. It's really freaking hard to get in.</p>

<p>*sigh*..... still nothing... perhaps it's because my last name starts with an 'S'? <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/confused.gif" style="width:16px;height:21px;" title=""> <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad5.gif" style="width:17px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

Definitely looks heavily weighted towards early-alphabet, which is a bit of a relief for now. Heading out for meetings and will be somewhat disconnected for a couple of hours, work - bah!<br>

<p>Oh fer cryin out loud, WTF is wrong with my registration? For some reason it's not listing me as an athlete, even though I've added myself 3 times at the first part of the registration?? My account is set up. What am I missing? I've called an e-mailed them to get it sorted out, but in the mean time I'm just <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/BangHead.gif" style="width:25px;height:20px;" title=""></p>
