Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year In Bump, Bike & Baby, Moire O'Sullivan charts her journey from happy, carefree mountain runner to reluctant, stay-at-home mother of two. With her sights set on winning Ireland's National Adventure Racing Series, she manages to maintain her post-natal sanity, and slowly learns to become a loving and occasionally functioning mum.
Moire O'Sullivan is an accomplished mountain runner and adventure racer. In 2009, she became the first person to complete the Wicklow Round, a 100km circuit of Ireland's Wicklow Mountains run within twenty-four hours. She is the proud mother of two young sons, Aran and Cahal. While busy adapting to and learning about motherhood, Moire won Ireland's National Adventure Race Series in 2014 and 2016.
