Turns out the Austin Marathon had uploaded a wrong map to their iPhone App. They had previously uploaded the 2009 route, so i figured the correction was accurate, but it was wrong too.
It turns out that the marathon does NOT run around the capitol, and instead runs straight through the Capitol grounds missing the san jacinto bump.
That's good news for anyone racing the marathon, and for me it'll be fun to return to the route where i collapsed in full body cramps and spent 45+ minutes trying to get myself to the finishline over the last 1,200 meters of my first ever marathon. good times, good times!

You're running Austin?
pacing a friend for his BQ, so technically, yes.
A 3:10 BQ? Won't that ruin Boston for you?
cute. naaah... he needs a 3:20, so easy long run for me at 7:40 pace.
Wow, that's a good pace for such a hilly course!
