My sister-in-law and I both managed to get in and we can hardly believe it! It took 1.5 hour for me and another hour for her. <br />I was expecting things to be slow; I figured thousands of people would be trying to register but that was ridiculous! I really didn't know what was going on until I was registered and then I saw all the posts on Facebook. I hope they get things figured out. <br />Good luck training and running Chicago! <br />Lorendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665587604100291037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-2769006320849117802013-02-20T12:18:20.336-08:002013-02-20T12:18:20.336-08:00Thanks.

I am really glad that you were able to register successfully. I heard some people were trying to register for over two hours!!!

I noticed that when I got to checkout I had 3 registrations in my cart, which included my current registration and the one I was currently completing. I was able to delete out the other two registrations before I checked out. However, I will check my credit card statement tomorrow to make sure I wasn't double or triple charged. Thanks for the tip.Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-84612462883523803352013-02-19T12:52:53.088-08:002013-02-19T12:52:53.088-08:00Thanks, I was able to register after 50 minutes!Thanks, I was able to register after 50 minutes!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-63892559478873147602013-02-19T11:26:38.843-08:002013-02-19T11:26:38.843-08:00I think it's an overload :) Facebook is blowi...I think it's an overload :) Facebook is blowing up about it right now.
