Last week in Toronto they held their first Stiletto Sprint event, a charity race held to support Look Good Feel Better, a cancer charity dedicated to empowering women through their treatments.
The event itself started early in the morning and featured multiple heats of women running in stiletto heels. The 5o meter track was difficult for many of the racers to traverse in the high heels, but some managed some pretty impressive times.
By far the most entertaining part of the event though came with the Men’s Final. With a $1,000 prize on the line, only 7 guys showed up. Only 7!?! I wish I had known about this in advance because I’d have flown up there and absolutely DOMINATED. I don’t know what it is, but I can fucking OWN heels, I have zero problems walking or running in them, and as slow as I am, I still would have CRUSHED the competition.
Wait. What did I just admit. Oh god. Dammit. I should go back and delete that embarrassing bit. But the delete key is SO far on the other side of the keyboard…sigh. Just pretend you didn’t read that last bit. Yeah. I’m still the manly tough blogger you all know and love. Right? I totally lost you all didn’t I. Dammit.
Well, the event raised $23,000 for a good cause, so that’s all that really matters right. Right?
Please?
