On the Comeback Trail


Empower Athlete Sarah Hammer scores win #5 of her comeback at the Tour de Murrieta.

In a large women’s field that included several top riders, Sarah notched another “W” by wrapping up the overall win at the Tour de Murrieta. The Tour de Murrieta victory gives Sarah her fifth win since her comeback from an injury plagued Olympic year where she finished 5th at the Beijing Olympic Games.

Next up on her racing schedule will be the big-money Long Beach criterium on April 4th as well as the NRC Dana Point criterium on April 26th. After these races Sarah will be transitioning to her first major competition of the year, the Pan-American Championships, in May.

Wish her luck as she heads towards future podiums!
