Peaks Coaching Group Athlete, Eddie Stern, added yet another 1st place finish to his string of wins and podium finishes this season.  The Pete Murphy Memorial New England Time Trial Championship is a challenging TT race due to a succession of short stinger climbs and descents not typical of many time trial courses.  Most racers feel they cannot find a rhythm on this course.  Compounding the undulating terrain, were very high temps and humidity adding to this painful race of truth.  Despite these conditions, Eddie’s strong power/weight contributed to his racing the 22km course in a very fast 29:05.  Not only did Eddie place 1st in his age group, he finished 4th overall.  Eddie has worked extremely hard this season and enjoyed much success.  In less than two weeks, Eddie will be undergoing shoulder surgery to repair a severely separated AC shoulder joint that occurred in a crash while racing about a month ago.  He is looking forward to returning to racing next season, stronger and more motivated than ever!  Eddie is coached by PCG Elite Coach Brian Murphy.
