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.
Read the Reviews here from: Walking and Hiking in Ireland, Trail Running Nepal, and Inspiring Sports Women.
Moire O’Sullivan is a well-known figure on the Irish Mountain Running Circuit. Twice winner of Ireland’s Mountain Running Championship, she has also won the Irish 24 hour Rogaine Championships with Andrew McCarthy. In 2008, she won the IMRA fifty kilometre Irish Mountain Navigational Challenge Series, the first female to win the event outright.
When not running, Moire works for an international aid organisation. As part of her work, she has travelled to some of the world’s poorest areas and worst conflict zones. Moire lived in Kenya for seven years, working with mentally handicapped children in Nairobi’s slums. She currently lives in Cambodia.

Hi Moire – I’d like to order the book and review it on my blog
(TheRunnersTrip.com) I think it’d be easier for me to get the e-version — but does it have photos? If so, I’d want the paperback since the Kindle doesn’t display photos well. Also, can you please tell me the price difference for Kindle and paperback, considering the paperback would have to be shipped to California? thanks,
Sarah

Hi Moire,
I tired ordering your book from Amazon but they don’t deliver in Middle East. Is there any other way of purchasing your book? I will be travelling thru far east and will be in Cambodia in early July, so if you happen to be there, I can purchase it directly from you (autographed version of course
!!!!
Big fan of your blog and look forward to meeting you during some marathon in the region. During the trip I will be doing KL Marathon in June and Pattaya in July.
Cheers,
Z
