A couple of years ago, I was at Helen's Cycle in Santa Monica and it just happened that Nate Royal was doing a fitting for Sarah Hammer. For those who don't know them, Royal is a pro fitter and Sarah Hammer is a pro rider. Even pro riders occasionally need to tweak their fit to get results.

Here's what Sarah is up to lately:

Sarah once again raced into the record books in March at the 2011 track cycling world championships in Holland . After earning a gold in the individual pursuit, a silver in the team pursuit and a silver medal in the omnium, Sarah became the first American woman to earn three medals at a cycling world championship!

"Yesterday was a little bit of a rough day for me, but the nature of the omnium is to be able to kind of reset after a bad event," explained Sarah. "My goal coming into it was to be able to get top three and that was achieved after a hard fought battle. I'm super pumped to have been able to win the individual pursuit, to have taken silver with my teammates and be able to win another silver today."

Sarah’s track racing year comes to an end with an impressive collection of accomplishments over the last twelve months including her fourth world pursuit title, two world records and two world cup gold medals. Next stop, London 2012!
