Slowtwitch Hawaii report incorrect? Can't Post


Quote
Erin Baker’s Cookies not far away, rival Paula Newby-Fraser was representing at the Multisport booth. While Erin’s hubby Scott Molina will be competing Saturday wearing number 88 – the year he won – Erin was not on site. It’s hard to imagine the fierce all round star who won two Ironman Hawaii titles, a Zofingen and the very first ITU World Championship in 1989 baking a batch of cookies. But Baker was the best all-round triathlete of any era.

 
Sorry ST editorial staff, but this is different Erin Baker, she is the cookie lady and NOT the uber-triathlete. Very nice woman who I had the pleasure of meeting at IMWI. She says people come up to her all the time saying how they used to watch her race back in the day...then she has to say "sorry, that is a different Erin Baker."

That's what happens when Slowman isn't in Kona himself!

I've always wondered if they were the same. I figured they weren't becasue I've never seen an advertisement fromthe cookie lady which mentioned her accomplishments. Seems like theywould be mentioned if she were the EB that was a tri legend.

So moral of the story...
Don't go Erin Baker ask for her cookies?
