Eddie Stern - Top Step at Pete Murphy Memorial New England Time Trial Championship

Peaks Coaching Group Athlete, Eddie Stern, added yet another 1^st 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 1^st in his age group, he finished 4^th 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.
