I'd been tracking the registration dates for the SCMM for weeks now, and when the opportunity came I was quick to act. As I filled out the online Registration form, I was more than a little conflicted on whether I'd have a chance in hell of finishing. But i don't want to give it more of a sense of drama than there truly was. I knew I was going to sign up - I had to sign up. I'd spent too much time obsessing over this to back away now.
The form had this unexpected wrinkle, though. It indicated that in the event of over-application, runners would be selected by way of lottery, unless the applicant could provide a time-log of a previous run. Since I've never run this distance, let alone gotten an officially clocked time, it was pretty easy to duck this step and move on. I figured the provision was in as a technicality, and was unlikely to be enforced.
