Miscellaneous
This week we talk to 6 x IRONMAN World Champion Mark Allen. His amazing achievements are so good, we felt we needed to deliver it in 2 parts. Mark was also an Olympic Distance World Champion, inducted into the IRONMAN hall of fame, ITU hall of fame and USA triathlon hall of fame. He still has the record in triathlon history for the most straight wins - 21 and is considered by many to be the greatest endurance athlete of all time.In this first part, we talk about how his first 6 attempts at winning the IRONMAN World Championships didn't go to plan and how and why he continued to strive to become IRONMAN World Champion.We also talk about how that epic 1989 victory was different in so many ways in a race that has been dubbed 'IRON War'. Part 2 of our chat will be out next Thursday...
