Has anyone figured out just how much harder the new Austin course is?

It goes over mount everest. It has been moved and renamed the Everest marathon.
Just google it!
A lot.
I just read the synopsis on the RunTex website. I thought Austin was trying to always bill itself as one of the faster marathons. This year they seem to be emphasizing a negative split. That's great and all, but do they still expect this same course to attract a lot of people trying to make Olympic qualifying times? Maybe they'll change it in the next couple of years.
Hey....at least this course shouldn't have the logistical problems.
So how much more difficult is it. Does 10 minutes slower sound about right?
Bump
10 minutes faster might be more like it! It's the ideal negative split course! Thanks Austin! Not.
