Discussion: what to do?

MTBO is calling

Kawasaki Ninja

Hahaha both excellent suggestions.

Can jennycas advise whether Kawasaki Ninjas are banned under iof rules for "foot" orienteering? Like a GPS watch I can't see how it would help (except maybe in a sprint race without any stairs), but I assume they are also banned?

2.4 If not otherwise mentioned these rules are valid for individual day orienteering competitions on foot.

21.1 As long as the rules of the organising Federation do not specify otherwise, the choice of clothing and footwear shall be free.

Kawasaki Ninja's a type of shoe, right?

you could think of them that way. it's between your feet and the ground right? and best without any other footware...

I like to refer to something that has ostensibly been 'fixed', but has actually been made worse, as 'fuxed'. Three surgeries seems to be what is required...one to fux things, one to fix the fuxing, and a third to fix the original problem.

hahaha that's gotta be put in urban dictionary (if it isn't already). yep my ankle definitely got fuxed!

I like it! Might confuse the Kiwis though ...

Righto going back to the surgeon to see what he says about getting the fuxing fuxed.
