New Book on Wicklow Round

In July 2008, Moire O’Sullivan made a solo attempt on the Wicklow Round, (Ireland’s equivalent of the Bob Graham Round), a gruelling endurance run spanning 100 kilometres over 26 of Ireland’s remotest mountain peaks. After 22 hours she collapsed, 2 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 to the heights of some of Ireland's most impressive mountains and to the depths of her own human limitations.

Ebook now available on http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054ZKYQQ and https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/65468. To register interest in a paperback version, visit: http://moireosullivan.com/order-paperback/

Interesting. I've run and cycled in Kerry, Galway and Donegal, but never in the Wicklow Mountains.
I've just looked at the IMRA website - it's a whole new world over there.

I have just recently finished reading your book on the Wicklow Round and found it very intersting and informative. I am fairly new to fell running and ultra distances and will be attmepting the Bob Graham this year.

Is it just an eBook?

Patrick,

It's also available in paperback, either from The Great Outdoors shop in Dublin and Basecamp (also Dublin), or you can order it straight of Moire's site which is here - http://moireosullivan.com/buy-the-bo...eat-and-tears/

Very enjoyable read.

Paul
