While visiting friends over Labor Day Weekend in West Virginia, I pulled out the dusty table tennis rackets and played ping pong for the first time in a very long time. I had learned from my parents and my grandfather, William Abrams. He was consistent and did not waste time in between points. He also…
ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. successfully represented a golf professional injured when the golf cart in which he was a passenger rolled over. The number of people hurt in golf carts has more than doubled, researchers say. Part of the problem is that the carts are faster than they used to be. But they are also being…
Sunday, August 24, I again participated in the Reston Bike Club’s Annual Century Ride. While we did not do the 100 mile plus route, we did complete over 55 miles on the roads and paths of Loudoun and Fairfax counties. My wife, Dennis Green, and Dr. Thomas Fleeter enjoyed the gorgeous day, well-stocked rest stops,…
The City of Manassas has a wonderful Farmers Market on Saturday mornings in the summer. I learned this last year when I participated in the Manassas Recreation and Parks “Stonewall Jackson 5k.” This year, my middle daughter, wife and I all participated. The course goes through the streets of “Old Manassas, and over 350 people…
When they got to the 1st turnaround (1.5 miles) into the run, Urbach had 50 sec. on Landau. Normally, he would have reeled him in like a flapping Dead Sea Bass, but when they passed the second time, Urbach had increased his lead to 1:40, even though no one had passed Landau ! Totally demoralized,…
In their last meeting, the trash-talking “TriathlonTrialLawyer” got beat by the “Abdominator” Rob Urbach, BUT he of the 0% body fat got not one, not two, BUT 3 “bogus blocking” penalties on the crowded Culpeper course, adding 6 minutes to his time ! So Landau finished ahead in the scoring even though “Rocket Rob” finished…
Having grown up riding a bike, commuting to school and jobs on 2-wheels and racing in bike road races and time trials, I have seen some of the very best (and worst) of cycling. While most riders observe safety and common sense precautions, other riders and members of the peloton seem to want to increase…
Apparently, the steel inside of the pedal can break, causing a serious hazard to bicyclists. Read this for more information or call your local Look Cycle Dealer to arrange for shipping and free repair. If you are injured, Abrams Landau is more than happy to help; but if we can prevent an injury, even…
Landau beaten by Maccabiah Games teammate (and client) Rob Urbach ! Hot, hilly course conditions and no wetsuit in the soupy lake made for challenging venue for the 2 team mates to see who was “top dog” on 8/03/08. Unfortunately, Landau did the “doggie paddle” to Rob Urbach’s “U-boat” full speed ahead swimming.
The 2008 USA Triathlon Sprint National Championships at the Cayuga Lake Triathlon will not see Doug Landau. This is not because of any sports injury, bike crash or other accident. Rather, the All American Sprint and Olympic Distance triathlete will instead stick closer to home and race in the Virginia Triathlon Series sprint race in…
