    After this year's Etape and not liking next year's routes I was umming and ahhing about the Marmotte. Guess if the entries are already closed that's the decision made then. Dammit. Might have to think about the Fray Bentos or something Italian instead.

    They took my money but my name's not on the list.

    Sent them a couple of emails and will call them today, but anyone else in the same boat?

    Should all entries be posted by now?

    I've completed registration and received my dossard number by email.

    I would give them a call.

    Hey,

    Same boat here. The money has gone, no email recieved but my name does appear on this MASSIVE list:

    I wouldn't be surprised if i entered an incorrect email address.

    Same for me - now it says 'validating entry - try next week'. There was never a number against my name so perhaps 'validating' means numbers appearing....

    The website for me says it's still validating, but I got an email yesterday with my dossard number. This year I finally get to start in the first pen :D

    Me too - e-mail received today, 806 - I think that makes me off with the first group too!

    I too am on the long list, have a dossard number and have had the money taken. I presume this means I am in :)

    However I can not see the area of the website where I can log in or where some people say they are seeing that it is validating?

    I also do not appear anymore when checking my name through the 'check registration' part of the website which now seems to have reverted to a previous link to results?

    Confusing!!!

    Anyone else in the same boat?

    You should be able to see the registrations here
    http://www.sportcommunication.info/web2 ... p?langue=2

    Click on the red box on the right, find your name, enter your date of birth etc.

    bs147 - 806 is in the 2nd pen I think. Last year it was 401-2500 together leaving at 7:10am. Not sure if its the same in 2011.

    Ah ok - I'll settle for that! It won't make any difference to the time it will take me to complete the course, just less waiting around at the start!

    I am confused!

    I am on the long list but if I look in the registration box no sign of me. I had the confirmation email when I paid (the day registration opened) but still no sign of dossard number. Anyone else got this?

    Just had my email from Sport Comm - in the 6000s. Does it make much difference?

    I'm also confused that there seems to be no availability for hotels in Alpe d'Huez. Now as they must have thousands of beds during the ski season I'm hoping that they just haven't released post-ski dates yet. Does anyone have any experience of this in previous years?

    IIRC, you can get a list of private chalet owners at the Alpe from the Alpe's web site (as a PDF). Phone or email a few.

    From what I've been told Craig has a block of numbers in the 2000's (2nd wave I think)
    and they are given to the guests on his trip. You will be linked up with your actual number when you go to register on the day before the race I'd imagine.

    If anyone of you competing lives at an address ending with postcode, TW9 1TU, pm me and I'll try
    to explain how I think your address details ended up on my entry on the Sportcommunication website.

    Yeah, I just my number in the mid 6000's too. I'm aiming for under 7:30 this year, but starting that far back i reckon I'll be walking down the glandon.... Ho hum.

    Don't they turn the timing off for the Glandon descent

    the "official" time doesnt include the glandon, but id like to compare with year before last (a smidge over 8 hours) when the whole distance was timed

    I'm 4666 - no email, but found details by checking on the website. A bitannoyed to be so far back, will have to give it some welly from the start to get further up the field before the big climbs as I can't be bothered having to weave my way round a load of stragglers!

    Hey all.

    I wouldn't worry too much about high dossard numbers. You'll find it thins out nicely as soon as you get onto the glandon. I had a 6000-odd number last year and had no problems rolling home in 8 hours. It's actually a really nice psychological boost to be overtaking people all the time.

    Good luck with all the training!
