  • 1992 Con Mucho Bustos
    PHOTO BY DAVE EPPERSON It’s funny how things turn out. Throughout the 1980’s, to win the Ironman World Championship, you had to dethrone the Lord of the Lava, the one and only Dave Scott. After Mark Allen finally defeated his long-time rival in 1989 in the classic IronWar battle, he came back to win five more titles, but each time the person who finished in second place was different. In 1990 it was two-time Ironman World Champion Scott Tinley, in 1991 it was Aussie Greg Welch, in 1992 it was Cristian Bustos from Chile, in 1993 it was Pauli Kiuru of Finland and in 1995, in Allen’s last ever race, it was Germany’s Thomas Hellriegel. This feature, The Grip 6, showcases the articles I wrote after each of those races. I hope you enjoy this trip back in time! IRONWAR / 1989 THE EQUALIZER / 1990 CHECKMATE / 1991 CON MUCHO BUSTOS / 1992 THE KILLING FIELDS / 1993 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE / 1995 COPYRIGHT 2021 BOB BABBITT / CON MUCHO BUSTOS BY BOB BABBITT BEFORE THE 1992 GATORADE IRONMAN, DEFEND- resolved that fear.” Allen paused momentarily, thinking ING CHAMPION MARK ALLEN PLAYED OUT EVERY back. “It was interesting.
