The 1989 Ironman World Championship was one of the most exciting and dramatic races in the history of the sport. Dave Scott and Mark Allen, two of the greatest triathletes of all time, battled it out in a thrilling duel that came down to the final few hundred meters.

The race started with Scott, the defending champion, taking an early lead in the swim. Allen, however, was close behind, and he eventually caught up to Scott on the bike. The two riders then rode together for most of the bike leg, with Scott holding a slight advantage.

On the run, Scott continued to hold his lead, but Allen was slowly closing the gap. As the two runners approached the finish line, Allen had pulled within striking distance. Scott, however, was able to dig deep and hold on for the win.
