Subject: Desert 1/2 Iron & Richter Pass
Hey everyone, has anyone here done the Desert 1/2 Iron or IM Canada? What was Richter pass like? I was planning on doing that 1/2 but seeing as it's my first time at that distance, doing the self proclaimed "toughest 1/2 ironman in Canada" might not be the best idea.

Any experiences? Comparables? Info?

Thanks.

Here's the 2006 bike course with elevation profile:

The course description for 2007 has changed a bit.  Maybe they made it a little easier so you don't have to go over Richter Pass twice.

If you do it all other distances will PALE in comparison and you can say...I did the TOUGHEST 1/2 course in CANADA and you will just glide through all the rest of your races riding that HIGH!

Thanks for the link, very helpful. I was looking at another site which gave the elevations for IMC so I was kinda estimating where it started/ended for Desert 1/2 IM.
