Lawyer Landau Qualifies Repeatedly for the 2015 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships
Doug Landau qualified for the 2015 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships Olympic-Distance race on Aug. 8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after finishing in the top 10 percent in his age group at over a half dozen races throughout the country. These triathlons included:
Hermosa Day at the Beach Triathlon (CA)
Watermans Triathlon (MD)
Giant Acorn Triathlon (VA)
Savageman Triathlon (MD)
Patriots Race Weekend (VA)
General Smallwood Race Weekend (MD)
Landau has registered for the Sprint Distance race in Milwaukee, as he has raced successfully at that distance many times. This USA Triathlon event has sold out in each of the past five years and is expected to sell out again in 2015. Lawyer Landau has done well enough at past Sprint National Championships to qualify to represent the USA at the World Championships.
The USA Triathlon Olympic-Distance National Championships is the nation’s premier amateur Olympic-distance event with top athletes from all 50 states forming one of the most prestigious age-group fields in the sport. The top finishers from each age group in both the Olympic and Sprint Distance races will also qualify to represent Team USA at the 2016 International Triathlon Union (ITU) Age Group World Championships.
The dates and location of the 2016 ITU Age Group World Championships will be announced sometime in 2015, and information will be added to the Team USA website as additional details are known.
