Zoot Timing Chip Strap

Every big race I've ever done has used ankle chips for timing and every one of those races has given me an ankle strap as well as a chip, so I never really need to buy one. Then I did a local race earlier this year and was given an ankle strap that looked like it had been through a war. It was holding on by a thread and I doubt it would have even survived me taking off my wetsuit. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until I left packet pick up and got home - pre-race nightmare comoe true! Thankfully a local shop had one of these and I swapped it out. Needless to say it worked just fine and you bet I kept it when they tried to take it off at the finish line. Now I have it in my little bag of tricks in case I show up to a race and am given an ankle strap thats been worn 2000 times and is on its last breath.
