Good Evening,
I found out that I have been placed in Wave 4 Corral A Orange with a 11:00A start time for this years NYC Marathon. My question is, I entered my projected finish time as 2:50 and am in shape to run at somewhere in 2:45ish range. I was under the impression I would be in Wave 1 at least with that time? If anyone could help me or give me contact information to help sort this out it would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of proof can you provide for your 2:50 shape?
Sincerely,
Ran a half marathon off of very little training within the last year under 1:20. Some background info, under 30 years old, have always run daily, HS 4:15 miler, ran D1 track and XC. I thought they would honor a projected seed time that corresponded with a similar half marathon time?
From NYRR website, "There will be four wave starts. Refer to the wave start timeline chart for start times. Runners are assigned to starts and corrals according to the projected finish time (or pace per mile) provided on the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon application. Wave start times cannot be changed."
(Also ran a mid 16s 5k for the heck of it recently too if that counts for anything lol)

there must be a mistake. they usually even accept projected times without any results to back it up. you should contact them. I'm not sure how responsive they are to such requests, but I'm almost sure they made a mistake. I stated 3:00 as projected finish time (that's actually fairly realistic based on recent races and training), but I only started training seriously for the first time in my life this year. So when I entered the projected finish time, I stated a 7 year old 3:38 marathon as my only previous race. they still put me in Blue Wave 1 Corral B.
I double checked my applicant as well and it has the 2:50 projected finish in there. ANY NYRR CONTACTS LURKING THE BOARDS THAT COULD HELP A FELLOW LETSRUNNER OUT???
BUMP
Maybe try to contact them here? Phone # is listed is well as an email portal.
