A race that Val did not enter, but I believe would have won had she been there, the first ever Australian Stilleto Sprint.
The race was won by 18 year old Brittney McGlone, setting a “world record” in the 80 meter sprint in Sydney Harbour. Brittney finished well ahead of the other 264 contestants running in 75 mm high heels.
Several women suffered broken heels, sprained ankles and bloodied knees, but Brittney walked away with the esteemed stiletto trophy.
