Looking for his triathlon race number and singlet, trial lawyer Doug Landau loses precious time in transition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Having no race number can cause an athlete’s disqualification. Doug Landau had carefully pinned his race number to his singlet the night before, and had brought it to Lake Audubon to put on after the Reston Triathlon<\/a> swim. However, when he emerged from the water and removed his wetsuit, it was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

\"With
With his bike number on his shorts, a quick gulp and out Doug Landau goes past volunteer Kevin Baldwin to run down the competition at the 2010 Reston Triathlon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since the numbers on his arms, legs, helmet and bike and the computer chip on his ankle would suffice for the next hour, Landau hoped that his shirt and number was inadvertently left at the second transition, when he got off the bike and began the 10 km run at South Lakes High School. When he dashed into the transition area, he was dismayed to see no shirt and no number.<\/p>\n

“Necessity is the mother of invention.” So the saying goes. Looking around his transition spot, the injured athletes’ lawyer had an idea. Landau tore the number off his Cervelo bicycle and folded it into his shorts and took off after those racers ahead of him. The Herndon Reston area accident lawyer finished in just under two hours and eighteen minutes. This was 10 minutes off his best time, but good enough for the rainy, wet and cold conditions that he finds most difficult. Landau usually does not wear a shirt, and hopes to avoid this delay at the National Championships a fortnight from now, as Alabama should be hot and dry. Previously, Landau’s barefoot performance<\/a> at the National Duathlon Championships when he flatted out demonstrated that this athlete lawyer can deal with adversity in the midst of competition. The good news is that now Landau has a contingency plan if he ever loses, misplaces or tears his running number in a triathlon. His bicycle has a spare !<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
