T1: perfect
Bike: very technical course,thought my gears changing was a lot better than previous years,drunk a bit to much fluid though.
T2: went ok just my bike kept falling of the rails
Run: felt good throughout all of the run apart from a stitch that came at about 3k in,(to much fluid earlier on) overtook a ton of people though.
