Kings of Kona Volume II: The Final Chapter of Ironman Hawaiis Greatest Rivalry
Mark Allen could defeat Dave Scott almost anywhere.
But not in Kona.
Between 1982 and 1987, Allens relationship with the Ironman World Championship became increasingly cruel: one withdrawal, two second-place finishes, a third place and a devastating fifth.
While Allen struggled to understand why the Big Island continued to reject him, Dave Scott ruled Kona with relentless authority. Year after year, the six-time champion reinforced his status as the defining figure of an era, interrupted only by Scott Tinleys victories in 1982 and 1985.
Was Mark Allen truly capable of defeating him on the sports greatest stage?
And why, after beating Scott elsewhere, did he continue to fail when everything mattered most?
Kings of Kona Volume II enters the decisive years of their legendary rivalry: Allens inner journey to transform his relationship with the island, Scotts growing pressure to remain at the summit, Scott Molinas breakthrough victory in 1988, and the escalating tension that would ultimately lead to the confrontation remembered forever as Ironwar.
From that moment on, everything would change.
This is not simply the story of two extraordinary athletes competing for victory. It is a story of failure, reinvention, resilience and the price of becoming a champion.
An epic account of endurance and transformation that has inspired generations of triathletesand whose lessons reach far beyond sport.
The final battle for Kona is about to begin.
Experience the greatest rivalry in Ironman history as never before told.
