But the Herndon injury lawyer had his sights not on the best Southern California racers, but on testing his DUathlon fitness by running the last 3 miles of the 10 km race as well. In other words, Landau would have about 20 minutes between the end of the 5km and then catching the field at mile 3 in the 10km, since this was a &#8220;point to point&#8221; course finishing at the Santa Monica Pier. \u00a0If he could pull off this &#8220;double&#8221; then it would demonstrate his DUathlon training was progressing toward the October 26th <a title=\"2013 duathlon-national-championships\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatriathlon.org\/events\/usat\/2013\/10\/duathlon-national-championship.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">USAT National Championships in Oro Valley, Arizona<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Landau managed a 20:43 in the first leg, averaging 6:41\/mile, and then 7:23 for the 2nd 5 km. Later that night, after visiting with family on the Left Coast, he hopped a &#8220;red eye&#8221; so as to be in Court in Manassas Virginia the next morning with a Warrenton family that was struck by a drunk driver near Nissan Pavilian. The &#8220;on the go&#8221; lawyer then traveled to New Jersey on Wednesday, participated in the second session of a Mediation in Connecticut and then celebrated his sister&#8217;s charitable giving award in New York City before hopping a late night train back to Washington, D.C., where he attended an anatomy course for lawyers presented by the Trial Lawyers Association of DC. Notes Landau, &#8220;the best trial lawyers, like the best runners and cyclists, are always trying to improve, test themselves and stay on the cutting edge of their field.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week lawyer Landau ran his longest race, over twice the distance of the 5 Kms. races he has been competing in since he returned to running in April.
