As was his pre-Pandemic M.O., the Virginia trial lawyer found friends to re-connect with, places to see, and a race to compete in. In his preparations for the Multisport National Championships in late May and early\u00a0August, Landau had started participating in DC Metropolitan area road running races in order to assess how his\u00a0\u201ctraining in isolation\u201d had\u00a0progressed.\u00a0While his sustained and top end running speeds are much reduced, and his swimming has been\u00a0\u201cLong Slow\u00a0Distance\u201d(AKA\u00a0\u201cLSD\u201d) and drills only, he felt he was recovered from his September bicycle crash in terms of aerobic capacity and endurance. His overall win at the Lake Accotink 5km and Mid-Atlantic Regional Sprint Duathlon Grand Masters Championship indicated that he could put\u00a0together\u00a0some good races. So an opportunity to do a sprint triathlon over similar distances as next week\u2019s ITU Sprint Triathlon World Championship Qualifier in Richmond\u00a0seemed like a smart idea. Plus, it would give Landau an opportunity to ride a bike without &#8220;aero bars\u201d as is required in international racing. Doug needed to find a UCI legal bike, in his size, that he could rent or borrow, as he has done a half dozen times before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9321\" style=\"width: 481px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9321\" src=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/nutcasejpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/nutcasejpg.jpg 481w, https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/nutcasejpg-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Landau enjoyed his visit to Outback Bike Shop in Atlanta, where he gave the wrenchers chocolate chip cookies from the Herndon Great Harvest Bakery down the block from the Landau Law Shop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">While most Atlanta area bicycle stores had gotten rid of their rental inventory or stopped renting bikes altogether because of COVID, Landau was able to rent from Outback Bike Shop.

Doug Landau was able to ride his rental bike around the town in order to get familiar before Saturday&#8217;s racing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large\">The morning of the race, Landau drove through the rain all the way to the\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro\">Carrollton, Georgia venue. Upon arrival, after setting up his Transition area with the tent over the bike and bag on top of his running shoes (atop a cardboard box to keep them off the water flowing through the Park parking lot), he opted to race in a turtleneck under his singlet beneath his wetsuit, in order to stay warm and have the option of keeping his hands covered during the run. It would mean more weight and less flexibility, but Landau already espied athletes shivering as the race start was delayed for the storm. The full triathlon would be held, with a 600 meter lake swim (with no visibility below the surface), a 13.8 mile hilly bike ride and then a rolling 3.1 mile run on roads and trails. In addition to face masks when not racing, physical distancing and online registrations, participants lined up in numerical order, based upon their estimated swim times. As a late entrant, Landau was assigned race number 397, with only 3 competitors behind him! The race directors then sent everyone off at 5 second intervals. Lawyer Landau warmed up on the beach shore and his wetsuit on, keeping warm with his jacket and hat on until the very last minute. Starting off so far back, Landau was able to follow the buoys and the other swimmers despite low light and visibility conditions. Maneuvering around many other participants, he avoided the usual \u201cmixing bowl\u201dchurning and had a \u201cclean\u201dswim and was not beaten up. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9318\" style=\"width: 547px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9318\" src=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/dkwl-RD-Tri-Parks-GA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/dkwl-RD-Tri-Parks-GA.jpg 640w, https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/dkwl-RD-Tri-Parks-GA-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The &#8220;Tri the Parks&#8221; race team is outstanding. Putting ona safe race during adverse conditions calls for an experienced, fast moving and efficient race coordination group. Though &#8220;pruney,&#8221; Doug Landau was all smiles with the Georgia crew after the Carrollton triathlon at John Tanner Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro\">Once out of the water, Landau had a less than stellar transition, noting that the plastic bag covering his running shoes had blown away and his Atras were filled with water! Setting off on 2 wheels, he was able to stay vertical, keep low to avoid the cross winds and catch a half dozen riders. Monday he had done the Green Lizard ride in an upright position, holding 19 mph on a training ride (he normally averages 21.5-23.5 mph in competition). During this race, it was all he could do to manage 19 mph. The rain came from above, the sides, below and was at times stinging! But he saw no crashes, and while a number of athletes bailed during the swim or had equipment issues on the ride, there di not appear to be anyone needed medical attention. Plenty of police and volunteers were on the course, so the Race Directors for the Tri the Parks series seem to really know their stuff and come ready for anything AND everything.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro\">Another mediocre transition into soaked shoes and Landau was off trying to catch additional athletes. Rolling his sopping sleeves over his hands, he kept his fingers warm, had several GUs, and while he could not feel his feet, felt no too terrible. Not knowing what place he was in, he set out around to get into a rhythm. The up and down running course had a turnaround at about the 2 mile mark, so Landau could see how far he had come through the field. Running hard as the rains abated, h managed to pass other triathletes while averaging 8:05\/mile. He ended up 40th overall, 2nd in his age group and 3rd Grand Master. His time would have been good enough to podium in most of the other age categories. Because he had appointment back in the city, he left before the awards ceremony, but not before thanking the terrific Georgia race team. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9330\" style=\"width: 369px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9330\" src=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Stone-mountain-bike-trail.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"369\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Stone-mountain-bike-trail.jpg 481w, https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Stone-mountain-bike-trail-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It is important to figure out what works for you, as a triathlete, trial lawyer, person.

This \u201chydrotherapy\u201dwas akin to a post-race \u201cice bath, which reduces inflammation and soreness in the days that follow. An option like this is not usually available, but he enjoyed this cool down and seeing the tadpoles swimming in the clean water. He also got in good nutrition in the 20 minute window so that he would be re-fueled and full of tissue repairing protein during this optimal physiological time period. Landau packaged up his soggy gear, looking \u201c<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro;font-size: x-large\">prune,\u201dand feeling pretty good. If you have the opportunity to race in the Peach Tree State, the Tri the Parks series of Triathlons, Duathlons, AquaVelo and other events would be a fun time. Landau leaves for Richmond for the re-scheduled ITU WorldsQualifier, which was to be in Arizona. Tri-bikes\/bars are not allowed, on a tight, multi-loop courses in Innsbrook. Landau\u2019s friend Michael Harlow, a top triathlete in his own right, and founder of the wonderful Team Endorphin, is the Race Director for this <a href=\"https:\/\/livered.org\/east-coast-triathlon-festival\/\">East Coast Triathlon Festival. <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro;font-size: x-large\">Ever the optimist, with his races AND his cases, Landau hopes to report further successes throughout the spring, summer and fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you bike safely in a severe wind and rainstorm? \u201cSteady speed, staying low and with BOTH hands on the brakes &amp; drops!\u201d relates Doug Landau.
