The 2009 Longhorn Triathlon took place on October 25 at the Travis County Expo Center in Austin. We were there for the dogshow, but I had some free time, so I walked over to check out the race. The course followed the road around the Expo Center and on Decker Lane. It was a 56 mile race. The race also included a 13 mile run and 1 mile swim. Athletes were at the race from all over the place. I saw one guy there with a Swedish accent.
