Comments on: About the book https://moireosullivan.com It is not the mountain that we conquer, but ourselves.

Excellent book! I’ll recommend it to other who may be interested.

It brought back memories of my trip to Scotland and Ireland in ’08. I ran Isle of Jura and Carrauntoohil. Both epic events and great memories. The Wicklow Round sounds a lot like what we call “FKTs” (Fastest Known Times, see fastestknowntime.proboards.com ). A route is established and runners attempt to cover it at whatever speed they can. Many routes are in national parks or designated wilderness areas where pay-for-entry competitive events would not be allowed.

Anyway, I really enjoyed your book. I’ve run mountainous ultramarathons (Western States, Leadville, Wasatch, Hardrock…) for over 20 years, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch to identify with some of your experiences ‘out there’.

Best wishes,

Such bad luck on your 2nd attempt. But sure, don’t they say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”… so you’ll be a strong woman for 2013! Best of luck, and do let us know how you get on.
