\"Soaked<\/a><\/p>\n

After a gorgeous day cycling Saturday with friends in Lovettesville, Virginia, the Landaus were drenched by the Sunday storms as they competed in the “2013 Du It for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Race #1” in Prince William Park.\u00a0 This new multisport event consisted of a challenging 5 km cross country run, followed by an almost 11 mile hilly bike ride, with a repeat of the 5km run.\u00a0 The young volunteers were full of enthusiasm that was not dampened by the deluge.\u00a0 In 2nd place at the turnaround, the Triathlon Trial Lawyer slipped on a wet stone and went tumbling down a rocky hill.<\/p>\n

Getting up and continuing on, lawyer Landau was more careful on the bike, either out of the saddle on the uphills or “feathering” the brakes on the steep declines.\u00a0 He came off the bike once and had another fall on the 2nd run, though unbloodied by the latter 2 mishaps.\u00a0 Finishing 3rd overall, Landau learned that Melissa kept running after the first 5km., forgoing the risky ride altogether !\u00a0 While the smell of pancakes was enticing, the Landaus were interested in getting home and getting warm and dry !\u00a0 It was only during the ride home that Doug noticed that his leg looked like he had been in a fight with several angry cats !\u00a0 On the mend, Landau was back at HPC training, running in North Carolina mid-week en route to racing in New York State in a longer sprint race.<\/p>\n

For future Prince William area events, check out Bishop’s calendar<\/a>.\u00a0 Bishop\u2019s Events was launched in 2011 with the mission of providing runners, bikers, swimmers and triathletes the highest quality races and events in which to showcase their skill and determination. Travis Bishop, a competitive triathlete, founded the company in order to fulfill the need for racers in the Northern Virginia, Southern Maryland and Greater Fredericksburg Areas for more local events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
