I didn't see the target time box - does that come when accepted and entering/paying for real ?

don't worry Baz, I couldn't remember either so I just went back to the GFA entry process and there is nothing there, no opportunity to add a target time.

there's a box for your the time you actually ran but not one for the target time.

I think it said predicted time rather than target time below the previous time slot. Why they ask so soon is puzzling.

It's on the form when you accept and pay for your GFA place.

Not sure why they ask for target time. I am sure they do not go back and check, all that is important is that you have met the qualifying time. I might just put 2:02 and see what the say :)

I couldn't be arsed wasting time thinking about it, so I just stuck 3h00 in. I don't think it'll make any difference at all.

I think they use the target time to determine which pen you are in.
