There was an airlift and ambulance carry out in the first 7 hours of TD this year. One of which I saw. Guy on cross bike, his front wheel came out on a 30+mph rocky descent. Face torn open. We pressed his SOS button on his SPOT. He was out cold for a couple minute. Pretty nasty. Most gutted for him, race over in 7 hours. Worst that happened to me on day one was bear shit on my fingers.
