Even if you don't get it all perfect this time, you'll learn and do it better next time.
One of my early errors was loosing a load of time in T1 running round shouting "where's my f&*k1ng bike"....not cool at all
All good advice there Nick, just dont be tempted to panic and make everything a battle. Good luck.
If only it was always that easy.
ZappoMan's written a great article outlining his transition routine, which is well worth a read as a starting point. I work with companies who're trying to cut machine changeover times, and the techniques we use are equally applicable to triathlon transitions. So I've written an article about analysing & improving transitions which might be useful to you if you can practice transitions before race day - DON'T make race day the first time you try a transition!
The main, main point, if you do nothing else . . . count how many racks from the T1 entrance to where you're bike's racked . . . and how many from T2 entrance to where your running kit's hidden.
Good luck!
