Think Fit

The drama of sport is one of the reasons we find it so compelling and the Iron War is one of the most dramatic. Two of the fittest men doing battle over a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike and 42.2km run. The 1989 Iron Man World Championships is considered one of the greatest races not only in triathlon but in the history of sport. This week we wanted to give our listeners a Christmas gift so we are recounting the story of Iron War. We go into the background of Mark Allen and Dave Scott, the sport of IronMan and then delve into the drama that unfolded that October day on the Hawaiian island of Kona.  You don't need to be a triathlete to enjoy this story of two gladiators of the sport battling it out in what many consider the closest race ever witnessed. We hope you enjoy our Christmas gift to you!
