I could have got in. I'm just not sure I can commit to it.
Sure, if I really wanted it, I'd do it.
Thing is that I work in a warehouse and there are two of us. The other guy always has two weeks off in August and we sort of agree that I won't. It means that he burns off a lot of his leave and I take whatever I like.
Sure, I could get in first and probably win the argy bargy. Or I'd seriously consider just resigning and finding another job after the race. Easy to do when you're a low wage earner in a very large developing town like Milton Keynes.
BUT I'm also in the process of trying to get another job. First as part time to supplement my current job, but better still if I can go full time and quit my current job.
This new job, if I do it, is part of my plan for doing and funding the year mileage thing, so that comes first and I don't want to stuff that up for a lesser jolly this year.
Seeing the 2014 event fill up so fast gives me confidence that it won't vanish in the not too distant future, so I could get to have a go at this, or something very similar in a few years time, even if not in 2014.
