Great job, Ed. I am glad that your training has blasted you back beyond the stratosphere. My wife is a breast cancer surgeon at Memorial Sloane Kettering in NYC and NJ. I am sure that she would love to hear more about the CommonlyRare Foundation. And I was permanently disabled in a completely random accident while I was training for rowing. So your recovery from the surgery inspires me to keep trying. I have had 19 surgeries to fix my back, but no luck. You were incredibly kind enough to write me a few months ago. I think we lost touch. Surely, it was my terrible memory that caused me to forget to reply to one of your messages. I very much look forward to supporting your assault on Hawaii. Best, Jamie Westfield, NJ
The first video of you that I saw was the training for your first Kona Ironman. You inspired me! Your whole journey from Harvard to Stanford and then form entrepreneur to triathlete was so full of determination and willingness to reach your goals! I was really sad (selfishly) when I saw on your Instagram that you are giving a break on triathlons! I believed you were keeping up with the goal of finishing Kona! Anyway, congrats on everything!
Hey Ed, I'm currently training for my first long distance triathlon. watching you put in the hours and all the work is inspirational. would love to see you succeed!
you put things into perspective to us mortals of what dedication and talent looks like. keep up the good work and kona will be an easy challenge. hope your success continues to raise awareness for your foundation.
I’ve decided to do a sprint triathlon next April. 8 lengths of the local gym pool, 15 miles bike ride and then 3 mile run. I can just about do 6 lengths in 30 mins (I cannot swim at all!), can just about run 3 miles and the longest bike ride I’ve done so far is 7.5 miles. I’m so close and just need to work on my speed! It’s so fun!
Ed, I really enjoyed this video. Not sure you remember, it's been a long time, but we were in the same class at Shi Da in Taipei the summer of 2001. Good luck, I'll be watching.

Was that a kiss from Matt Dixon? Congratulations on Oceanside and thanks for all of your efforts on the foundation. We share the same coach so good to know someone else is suffering. 😄
great video, our stories are very similar, only I am just beginning my training for the Ironman. i live in Kona and hope to compete in the 2020 Kona Ironman. like you, my nephew has a rare genetic disorder- PMD( Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease) and we are hoping to bring awareness to it as well. i grew up like you as well competing in track and field and realized i should pursue my true calling of being a triathlete. keep inspiring and feel free to message.
You seem like a really nice guy. I know with training and a family posting more often is hard but it would be nice to see more videos for your preparation and qualifying to Kona. Maybe you could get a guy to do the editing and posting?
Hey Ed, ex-collegiate rower here who just moved to Boston post college and have been training for an ironman for about 7 weeks now. In the move I am struggling to find some clean roads/paths to get long bike rides in. Any suggestions?

Really interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Hope you can post more videos soon :thumbsup:. Good luck!

I was hoping during the scene with the doctor that he would specify what vO2 max they found.
Hi Cole. I believe it was 78.5.
Obviously incredible story and multi talented person. Still, I wish he is more open about his motivations and overall about why so much sport..
Run Ed run!
awesome, love it. keep the vidoes coming. quick question...what were your v02 max numbers?
You seem like a really nice guy. I know with training and a family posting more often is hard but it would be nice to see more videos for your preparation and qualifying to Kona. Maybe you could get a guy to do the editing and posting?
inspiring :)
Was going to say something negative but I'll leave it at...I wish I had half the talent you do.
Where are you racing your KONA qualifier?
Who’s here waiting for another video?? Did Ed qualify for Kona??
We definitely need an update! The Kona 2019 results have an Edward Baker listed so it looks like he qualified but didn't start. He is listed DNS.
My kinda Hero :) all the best ED
Where are you Ed?
nice one!
Do you have any triathlon training tips?
Hey Ed, ex-collegiate rower here who just moved to Boston post college and have been training for an ironman for about 7 weeks now. In the move I am struggling to find some clean roads/paths to get long bike rides in. Any suggestions?
Hi Nick. I actually do all of my bike training indoors on Zwift!
Can you please say what your VO2 max was?
78.5 :)
Wait what you're as fast as DR???
Dan plews is watching... 😉😉 #Lettherivalbegin
Can we get some V02 Max numbers?
78.5 :)
@@EdBakerAQ now we're talkin'
Top top top.
Overall...good stuff, but the music is a tad depressing.
😂 and I’m over here with a 500 dollar bike think I’ll quit now
Why not to be pro?
