    I use an ankle strap like the following. I've used it with both the old style timing chips, and the disposable chips.

    I like hair ties. If my wife does not have one handy I can always find someone who can hook me up with one at the last minute.

    I use the RoadID ankle strap. Used it with both returnable chips and disposable.

    At my last race the chip people had a giant bucket of neoprene ankle straps that they let you borrow for the race. Others used them to, to not have to deal with laces and getting the chip untangled.

    Last year I lost my d tag in the Marine Corps Marathon - I had looped it through the adjusting cord on the baCK of my VFF Classic - a couple weeks ago, in the Lake Placid Half Marathon, I used a "the band" velcro strap over the top of my foot and under the arch. This worked very well.
