In 1989 Mark Allen had one of the greatest years in the history of the sport. He won the Nice Triathlon, an event he ended up winning 10 times, he won the Ironman World Championship for the very first time in a classic battle with six-time Ironman World Champion Dave Scott, and he won the first-ever ITU World Championship in Avignon, France. With the Ironman 70.3 World Championship coming to Nice this fall, it was the perfect time to have ‘The Grip’ on with us.
