Doug Stern passed away Monday morning June 25 after a brief, hard fight with kidney cancer.
Doug was a fixture in the New York swimming and triathlon community for decades as an athlete and coach. From his training vacations, to his swimming and deep water running classes, to acting as the chief bandit catcher at mile 26 at the marathon, Doug was everywhere - always opinionated and always positive.
While I only knew Doug for a few years, he made a tremendous impression on me. He was passionate about everything he did, and I have nothing but respect for him as a coach, as an athlete, and as a person.
