Rachel Olson joins the podcast this week

This week on Side Stitch the young lads have another group therapy session and we are all doing better? (00:00 - 6:30) We hear from Erika Hawley who wants to leave Bermuda and return to Boulder (no idea why). She also gives us some real conversation including topics from pancakes to Bermudan onions. (6:30 - 58:00) Finally, triathlon is BACK. Super League is brining triathlon back with real in life racing. YUPPPPPPIE!!!!!!!

Group Therapy is back for another week... I mean The Side Stitch Podcast is back. We decide to break down our "Human Design" because we all need guidance in this trouble time. We find out we were all meant to be together. (00:00 to 15:11) Next up we talk to another Erika. This time we cross back over the norther border to talk to Erika Ackerlund (but she races for the USA). A highly successful U23 career has set her up for a strong senior career. (15:11 to 62:11) Finally, Ernie tells Bolly some cycling names for Bolly to impress his friends with. In triathlon news, Lionel Sanders is going after the UCI Canadian Hour Record. (62:11 to 75:00)

Ernie is paying for first dates with gift cards, Bolly might not tip anymore and Spencer can not stop getting compliments from older man age groupers. (00:00 to 09:06) This week on the podcast we have on Aaron Birch. A first year pro triathlete from San Diego but has somehow found himself quarantined in Lake Geogre, NY. We discuss how a lazy tennis player transformed into a highly disciplined triathlete(09:06 to 57:53) We talk about the possible death of triathlon or at least a major change and are on the hunt for a pro du-athlete to interview. (57:53 to 67:49)

The boys talk to Marc Dubric

The boys introduce the podcast and the "why" behind the website. We get some quarantine confessionals out of everyone and maybe need a therapist to go help Bolly. (00:00 - 10:10) Then long course stud, or as we find out an exceptional short course athlete, Kevin Collington stops by. recording from his massive house, (he says its modest) he discusses his swim rivalry with Ryan Lochte and his quest to slay the beast that is the Kona Ironman. (10:10 -77:45) To round out the show we share the latest updates on Lubbock 70.3. Finally we pour one out for the pipe dreams we had in 2020. (77:45 - 97:15)

This week on the podcast we have another round of Quarantine Confessional where we hear about Bolly policing his own apartment parking lot. We discuss the next race we have to watch get canceled at the last minute and RIP to Lubbock. (00:00 to 09:23). Then we have the very fast Canadian triathlete, Laurin Thorne, on the podcast. Laurin is not only very polite (like most Canadians) she is also faster in the water then a lot of us.
