Mini documentary on Erin Baker

I just saw this on Facebook and thought some of you might be interested. I remember hearing about her in the media here in NZ as a kid and that was probably the first ever exposure I had to triathlon as a sport.

One of the legends of our sport if you ask me.

Here is the video:

That was a good short film.

Any relation to the infamous Ed Baker? He was epic!

She is awesome and yes a true legend of the sport.

I don’t know what it is about those Kiwis but of all the female pro’s I have met and/or hung out with over the decades,three stand out in the “I am feeling seriously intimidated right now” category,Jo Lawn,Tara Lee Marshall and Erin Baker.

Erin is a true “Pioneer”…(pun intended for the old folks here)

LOL, watch the documentary about Erin and then tell me about how epic Ed Baker is!

thats driven! great story

was also nice to read about thier new tiny house they dropped in the national park - great lifestyle!

Appreciate the post. Always enjoyed them as individuals then as a couple. So nice to see her settled and learn of a whole different side of her than the one that was hyped.
