A chaotic transition area can indeed be a performance killer, like a flat tire in the final stretch! But let's not forget, some folks thrive in organized chaos. I've seen racers who can't function without their lucky charm socks or a specific brand of energy gel. 
As for navigating the mess, I'd say it's like riding a fixie in rush hour traffic - you gotta be confident and quick on your feet. But hey, if you're more of a mountain biker, maybe you're used to navigating obstacles and can handle the chaos better.
The real challenge is staying focused amidst the distractions. Personally, I find a good pre-race playlist helps drown out the circus and keeps me focused on my game plan. But I'm curious, what's your secret for staying zen in the midst of transition chaos?
