unknown at this point.
I made it through 7 or 8 pages of this thread, and then scanned the last 2 pages. Don't have time to read it all. What's the current theory on how Kip does it?
My take is that he disguises himself as a spectator and hides the chip inside a thin sock so no one suspects he's crossing the chip mats as a cheater. He might even cross the chip mats backwards as if going to meet someone by crossing the mat diagonally backwards up the route. The chip would still register that direction. Or maybe chasing something he "accidentally" drops near the chip mat (a ball? a program? a newspaper?). Any reason to cross the chip mat in any direction without looking suspicious. And at the start, he starts his stop watch as he crosses the starting line and then knows what splits he needs to hit and bikes/rides ahead to the next point. If he crossed chip mats at the edge backwards looking like a by-stander, no photographer would take his picture unless he accidentally ended up in the background of a photo.
Sorry if someone else already suggested this, but I haven't read the entire thread.
Pretty sure that's not how he does it.
Then how does he do it?

Thanks. I read the informative blog post. Interesting. But how did Litton get chip-timed on splits in some of his races? By bike? Having a double run for him?
any updates on Mr. Litton?
There was a 5k/10k in Clarkston this morning. Maybe the Kipster won? Was Clakrston Kent there?
So far as I know, he's still recovering from knee surgery.
To those curious about an impending story: Patience, Grasshopper.
Yes - patience is necessary. I think it will be an excellent article.
sounds good.
Ouch/clarkston kent, is it going to be a nationally known magazine/journal?

"An interesting coincidence from the Lets Run thread involves the fictitious race director, "Rich Rodriguez", from the bogus Wyoming marathon. As has been stated on the Lets Run thread, Rich Rodriguez was the unpopular football coach at U of M, Kip's alma mater. I ran a 1/2 marathon as a marathon paced run in October of 2008, Rich Rod's first season with Michigan. Initially, the race results had me first in the 45 to 49 age group. However, the results were later adjusted to show I had been beaten by a 48 year old "Rich Rodriguez", from Clarkston, who supposedly ran 1:19:36 (gun time 1:21:53 in the typical Kip habit of starting well back in the pack). I'm from Clarkston (near Kip's hometown), and there has never been a race result from a "Rich Rodriguez" before or after that 2008 race anywhere in Michigan. Clarkston is a small town and I know all of the decent runners. I do recall a runner dressed in black entering the course near the midpoint timing mat. It was a wooded area and I just assumed he had gone off the course for a bathroom break. The gun time for "Rich Rodriguez" was just 2 seconds ahead of my guntime at the midpoint, about the same as the guy who entered the course just ahead me at this same point. In retrospect, this may have been an early experiment by Kip in course crashing under an alias. "

Well, at least the Rich Rodriguez from Clarkston that was registered for the Bayshore Marathon today was not listed in the race results.
