Nice 1993

Yesterday I looked at Nice 1995. Read my post carefully. I put a red-hot take in there. Today we're looking at 1993.

The race report from TED Magazine is below. 32 pages! With intermediate time checks, play by play commentary, a photo-story style page design and results of every finisher. There’s also an interview with Mark Allen done at a cafe; looking back on his 10 wins.

TED really was a cool magazine. It was launched by former Tri-Athlete journalist and photographer, Max Malaurent, in August 1992. There were 13 regular issues and a Hawaii Special. It’s probably my favourite ever magazine. And was so much better than what’s out there now.

Nice in 1993 was a classic. Definitely in my top 5. As I was pretty psyched when I found out Simon Lessing would be racing. He’d done some middle distance before. But never anything as long as Nice.

And after the Cordier thing in 1992. No spoilers. Go and watch it. Isabelle Mouthon gave France their first Nice victory. Two years later she was the first French athlete on the podium at the Hawaii Ironman.
