When I suggest to David McNamee that he’s made of different stuff to the majority of the population, he barely takes a breath before wholeheartedly agreeing.
It’s no wonder there’s something different between the likes of McNamee and mere mortals; as one of the world’s best Ironman athletes he does, after all, subject himself to one of the most gruelling physical tests on the entire planet on a regular basis. And the toughest test of them all is, once again, upon him.
Today, McNamee will line up in Kona in Hawaii for the Ironman World Championships.
