My friend and teammate IB recently participated in the Kelly Ripa High Heel-a-thon to support the March of Dimes cause. This High Heel-a-thon is unique because it involves sprinting 150m in high heels. Yes high heels, and there were shoe requirements:
"Shoe requirements and restrictions are as follows: minimum heel height of 3 inches; maximum heel circumference of 3 inches; no wedges; no shoes that slip on (for example a mule or a clog or something similar) - shoes must either have a solid back or a strap or something similar; no taping or otherwise adhering shoes to your feet; shoe can not be modified or altered from its original and intended design in any way; no boots; no part of the shoe can extend above the ankle. Shoes will be checked by race officials at the time of registration on the morning of the event and are subject to rejection at the officials' sole discretion. In order to successfully complete the race, participants must cross the finish line with at least one heel intact."
Well IB made it through the preliminary heats to the final round where she placed SECOND!!!! (winning $5000!!). Congratulations IB!!! You can watch the race and interviews below.
