Summary

David McNamee is a Scottish professional triathlete whose name you might not know, but you definitely should. In 2018, he became the third fastest finisher ever at the Ironman World Championship in Kona with a time of 8:01:09. One year earlier, he was also on the podium at Kona, with a 3rd place finish in 8:07:11. In other words, he's fast and only getting faster at age 30.

McNamee spent a lot of years successfully racing ITU before moving to long course racing in 2014. He's been Jan Frodeno's training partner, and has raced against Javier Gomez for many years, so he's primed to make the jump to a name you definitely have heard of.

On this episode fo the Triathlon Taren podcast, we talk to David about two Kona podium finishes in a row, his proclamation he plans to win Kona next year, and of course, a Scottish favourite, haggis.

0:21.6	about three and a half years ago, and they have expanded into dozens and dozens of products.
0:27.3	They are taking the world by storm one mushroom at a time. If you go on their website, though,

0:34.7	a little more specific than things. Stuff. Stuff. That will bring up. Foursigmatic mushroom coffee and stuff is what they've got.
0:42.3	I end up using foursigmatic quite regularly in place of coffee because it's a bit of a

0:53.6	with their mushroom coffee
0:55.3	which is made with chaga for immune function and lion's mane which is for brain function and these are
1:04.7	two mushrooms that have been proved very very effective at getting to their specific benefits to people.
1:13.5	So I'm a big fan of not just having coffee for the sake of coffee, but coffee in addition to
