Since the advent of the Bib Chip we no longer see posts describing ankle strap varieties for use with the D Tag. I was caught by surprise yesterday at the Kalamazoo Klassic Pump and Run but fortunately I had a Velcro strap in my car in my box of race stuff.
I was reminded of my AW prime days.........I guess at most races these days people are looking and wondering "Is he REALLY going to run this barefoot?", and indeed people ask me that question.
But while once again having the bright orange D Tag affixed to my ankle there is of course no question, so no shortage of runners giving me props and thumbs up during the pre-gun gathering around.
 
Nah, Jason's never around anymore to keep the term alive and well.
 
Been so long since I raced, I forgot all about these. I used to bring a road ID. Note: tie the chip to the non metal side. A race is not in the future, but if it happens, I'll just carry the chip in my pocket. If it records my time, great. If not, oh well.
