Anyone else fed-up of hearing about the Four Girls that we should be? I've read so many 'which one are you?' articles but the whole shopping, food, high heels and panic attacks because your Manalos don’t match your Pucci just doesn’t fit in with my life.
Now if I were a Sweat and the City girl, this is who I would be:
- Moire O’ Sullivan – Irish long-distance mountain runner including 23 hours for the Wicklow Round in Ireland, 71 km Ultra Run in Nepal and 12-hour Adventure run in Vietnam. Yes, she ran over the Himalayas. She blogs about her races at Running Over Mountains and Around the World

- Easkey Britton – One of Ireland’s top surfers, she holds 4 national
titles, won the Roxy UK Pro, 13th in the World Surfing Games. But
competing against other humans isn’t enough, she was towed in on the
huge waves at Mullaghmore, Ireland. Great photos on her site Easkey Britton.

- Jackie Ferguson, Irish surf kayaker, 7th in the World Championships 09, and a big fan of the waves out west in Ireland. Some great photos and videos on her blog Jackie Onassis.

'Sweat and the City girls' - love it!
My four - all a nod to fellow Canadians - are:
1/ Hayley Wickenheiser (Canada women's hockey)
2/ Marilyn Bell (long-distance swimmer)
3/ Silken Laumann (rower)
4/ Catriona Le May Doan (speed skater)
Great idea for a blog, too, Niamhster!
Thanks Tina! Ok, am embarrassed to admit that I don't know much/anything about these four - that will be rectified. I'll do some research :)
