So are you guys going to compile a list of nominations to vote on, AR forum style, or is it just random open voting?

I was thinking just random open voting but I'm happy to go either way. If we go the poll route then we'll need a shortlist by the end of this week. The reason I didn't go that route is I'm off work the end of this week for a few days and probably won't be online until Tuesday. I'm happy for someone else to create the poll though.

I'm gonna make some public nominations from an AR perspective (definitely a minority in the forum):

Race of the year (AR) - Beast of Ballyhoura. Irelands biggest (and best) AR continues to go from strenght to strength. This year took us to some parts of the country I don't recall ever having being visited in an AR before. An enjoyable course which challenged every team, with a terrific battle for the podium places. This is the closest you get to true expedition adventure racing in Ireland. Next year it goes from being a European championship qualifier to being the host of the European championships.

Reace report of the year: Dunebuggy's report from the AR world championships. Sounds like the adventure quotient was up to 11 in this one!

Performance of the year: Team Triharder in the Beast of Ballyhoura. Nominated for the fact that a bunch from this forum organised through the forum to get together and train and race as a team in the biggest challenge AR has to offer in Ireland. That's a lot of time and commitment with a huge risk of it all going pear shaped. Performance in this case is more about the bigger picture of building a functioning team than the race result.
