    All worthy contenders, but I nominated Bungy Girl because she made a decision earlier in the year to train for middle distance and work on her 5K time, she worked hard as she always does and had fantastic success with the project bringing home National medals, remember #bgnailedthenats!

    For me, it's Ososlo. After several years of difficulty finding her niche she finally nailed it at Belfast 24-hour, finishing in the top half of a very experienced field, side by side with at least one athlete that I know personally is hard as fcuking nails.

    The performance was brilliantly timed, and then followed up with a great second ultra in Kerry where a few notable scalps were taken. Really zipped up the woman suit.

    Serious mojo!

    Very impressive range of pbs from Duanington from 5k to marathon - hard to beat that for me

    I've been told Duanington's name isn't appearing in the poll on the touch site which appears to be a boards bug.
    For anyone on touch who wants to vote for duanington - the entry is the empty one that has a vote option but no text beside it. Alternatively you can just switch to the full site or go online on your laptop :p
    See this electronic voting aint up to scratch...wonder if this is what happened in the US elections :D

    Ososlo for me also. From running a 39 min 5k in 2011 to running 100 miles this year shows what hard work can do.

    Judging it on the improvement from 2015 to 2016 (which I'd assume is what we are voting on ??) I'd be voting for Duanington or Bungy Girl. Can votes be changed btw RQ where someone on the touch site has missed voting for Duanington as the option didn't appear to be there?

    Hadn't copped that Younganne had pbs across the board from 5k to marathon also - great going Anne. A great improvement all in the last year

    Anne was my nomination and got my vote too. PB's in 5k, 10k, 10 mile, half marathon and marathon (twice) and she only went on to get another 5K pb today! :D
