ISBN: 9781934030776.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1989 Ironman World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports. In a spectacular duel that became known as the Iron War, the worlds two strongest athletes raced side by side at world-record pace for a grueling 139 miles.\nDriven by one of the fiercest rivalries in triathlon, Dave Scott and Mark Allen raced shoulder to shoulder through Ironmans 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record--and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.\nIn his new book Iron War, sports journalist Matt Fitzgerald writes a riveting epic about how Allen and Scott drove themselves and each other through the most awe-inspiring race in sports history. Iron War goes beyond the pulse-pounding race story to offer a fascinating exploration of the lives of the worlds two toughest men and their unquenchable desire to succeed.\nWeaving an examination of mental resolve into a gripping tale of athletic adventure, Iron War is a soaring narrative of two champions and the paths that led to their stunning final showdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"VeloPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958139416629,"sku":"ByrdShop_1934030775","price":27.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781934030776_5cb20dae-9f81-461f-b535-380e58a850da.jpg?v=1778823188","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/iron-war-dave-scott-mark-allen-the-greatest-race-ever-run-9781934030776","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
