Mud, Sweat and Tears by Moire O'sullivan
In July 2008, Moire O'Sullivan made a solo attempt on the Wicklow Round, a gruelling endurance run spanning a hundred kilometres over twenty six of Ireland's remotest mountain peaks. After twenty one and a half hours she collapsed, two summits from the end. Battered and bruised, yet undeterred, she returned a year later to become the first person ever to complete the Round in less than twenty four hours. Mud, Sweat, and Tears is the first book to tell one woman's story about her passion for mountain running, a passion that has brought her to the heights of some of Ireland's most impressive mountains and to the depths of her own human limitations. Inspiring stuff: an awe-inspiring tale of guts, passion and pig-headed refusal to surrender. Richard Askwith, Author of Feet in the Clouds.Moire O'Sullivan is an adventure racer and mountain runner. She is married to Pete and the mother of two wonderful sons, Aran and Cahal. Moire won Ireland's National Adventure Racing Series in 2014 and 2016 in between having her children. She was the first person to finish Ireland's Wicklow Round in 2009. She went on to write Mud, Sweat, and Tears, an inspirational mountain-running book.
