She shares the trials of trying to qualify again in the midst of politics and her decision to transition to triathlon. Malindi shares her mindset and training strategies that led her to a debut IM of 8:57 and to her record-breaking marathon time of 2:24:50 at the Houston Marathon. Plus, hear Malindia’s take on the “shoe debate” and the criteria for qualifying for the Canadian Olympic marathon team.
