Subject: Timing Chip I gather it's against the rules to play the "use the search" card.
I did search anyway. I almost always do.
Anyway...some timing chip comments in another thread reminded me of this:
Ever race I've done had the neoprene/hook and loop band with the chip.
A couple races ago, I heard someone in the transition the day before telling a friend they should safety pin it too, just in case since it was open water where retrieval would be near impossible. You know, "a friend of mine got hers kicked off during the swim"
So, of course, I start to obsess on that.
Wondering if y'all have any more anecdotal info on this?....beyond this one lady who heard from a friend who's cousin's sister in law said it happened to her former neighbor. I need more data points to alleviate my obsessiveness.
I see it being possible, but especially being that in open water, if it's a mass start....I'll wait for 2 minutes if I have to and let it clear up.
