Ironman Legend Mark Allen—2-3-2010

There is perhaps no bigger name in the sport of triathlon than our guest today. He went to Kona six years in a row hoping to win the Ironman Triathlon World Championship— and each time he came up empty handed. Then in 1989— in an epic battle with Dave Scott—he emerged victorious. From there, he would go on to win six world championships.

During a period of racing between 1988 and 1990 he entered 20 races and won them all.

I’m talking of course about Mark Allen who will be speaking at the 2010 USA Triathlon Art & Science of Triathlon International Coaching Symposium February 12th through the 14th in Colorado Springs.
