I'd suggest to Graham that he keep his Day-Job! Not sure how much big money will be coming in from the Road Running and Marathon circuit!

Hey Steve - thanks for the shout out. Was really fun having this come together over the last several months. Hoping the next one (yet TBD) goes even better, but enjoying the success and some family time in the meantime. Funny enough, I did ‘quit my day job’, but only temporarily thanks to Canada’s excellent parental leave policies. I’ve been on a lot of dad duty the last couple of months down here in SoCal while Malindi prepped. In April it’s back to Kelowna and back to work!

I've run against Graham and Malindi at a few local races and they are both kind, down-to-earth, and stupid fast. Malindi is also coaching some young triathletes and has them progressing very quickly. She knows her craft well, and can walk the walk!
