Hey folks!

My first official tri is the Over the Mountain tri in King's Mountain NC, 1500m, 45k, 10k. I've done the distance in practice ok, but coming out of the pool locker room to getting the bike out of the car is a lot different than the real deal. I'm a runner by nature so transitions are unfamiliar. Thinking about trying some of the transition tips posted on the articles page.

Anyone else in this event or has done it before? How are the transition areas? What can I expect with the bike mounting, dismounting areas (running with the bike to/from)? I'll be driving down and running recon on the area but if there's anyone with experience their knowledge would be much appreciated!
