Loss of Timing Chip

graham turner

Hi All
Just after some advice. During my first open water tri, I managed to loose my timing chip. Any ideas how to prevent this happening. Someone after the race mentioned insultation tape - as losing the timing chip is common. Thanks for your help. Graham

1. Make sure the chip is well inside your wetsuit leg
2. You could also wear calf guards and tuck it inside them, cheapest I've seen are these

With use the Velcro on the strap gets worn and frayed,I either wrap tape around the strap or you could use an elastic band put it on the strap so that it retains the end of the strap similar to a watch strap.

i usually take a safety pin and pin the strap through itself.
