I have to agree. As someone in need of a new hip I have been told that certain activities are out for me but thanks to modern medicine & my exercise regime I still manage to compete. I do not feel its up to the MD to accomadate me its up to me to find a way to make it happen. I may not be able to do weighted squats in the gym anymore but I can still go ass to ankles unweighted. So if you can't run the course of fire you walk it that is the level at which you are capable of competing. Sure it sucks in some ways but it is what it is thats life. Just my 2 cents
