INNERVOICE with Travis McKenzie

This week's show is with champion Triathlete and Kona contender David McNamee. Even the most engaged follower of the sport may not recognize David's name. And he's okay with that.

We dig into David's singular focus on the world championship and how he builds his life and relationships around the one-day in October on the Big Island.

He discusses the mindset he uses throughout the year and his most significant moments. A mindset that allows him to perform at the highest level. More importantly, David shares how he stays happy and fulfilled in his life. After all, as he mentions, we only have one life! We may as well enjoy it.

This episode is presented by Unit Nutrition - the World's first commercially available carbohydrate mouth-rinse product. Here's what David said about using Unit's rinse during his intense workouts leading into this years Ironman World Championships.

"I will never fail the rep after I have a mouth-rinse. I just won't fail. I have a belief in myself and the product. When I'm right on the edge, it takes 10 seconds, I rinse with Unit Rinse, and I feel a little bit sharper. Most of the time, in training, especially intense training, you mentally give up before your body does. You can always physically do more when things get tough; your mentality can switch, and you start to tell yourself that you're tired or that it hurts too much.

Unit rinse gives me a mental stimulation and a belief that I can actually keep going. It's a little reward and helps me look forward to hard-intense workouts. That's how I build confidence in my ability to perform. When I complete tough workouts week after week, the ones I'm not sure I'm going to get through, I walk away knowing you can push through when those doubts appear. We all remember those sessions when you're halfway through, and you wonder how you're possibly going to get to the end.

Carbohydrate mouth-rinsing is not a new concept, there are decades of research that show the benefits. For me, the fact that Unit Rinse is a product designed specifically for this purpose is significant; you rarely find a product that is backed by science and proven in the field."
