Hi I’m Vernon Kay and welcome to the first Cinderella race, now in most races the first one across the line wins but not in this case. The ideal is to walk as far as possible to win, however for the first race all they have to do is complete the first stage and finish this half mile course around the park. There are checkpoints around the course and each contestant will have their bare foot examined to make sure there is no damage to the sole of the foot, but if there is then she will be out of the race.
Ok lets go and meet the contestants, firstly we have Caron, hello Caron and have you been training for this race at all? Caron says yes I have to a point, I take off one shoe and walk for about 100 yards then I put it back on and take off the other shoe and walk for another 100 yards and so on. I have walked for about two miles like that. Wow says Vernon, time to remove one shoe then. Caron slips off her right brown stiletto court shoe and gives it to Vernon who puts it in a bag.
Next Vernon says hi to Jennie and asks her if she has been training for this event. Jennie replies by telling him she has been walking around all summer barefoot and her soles are very hard, but also soft because she has put moisturizer on the soles to keep them flexible. Ok says Vernon give me your shoe, Jennie slips off her right red stiletto court shoe and he puts it in the bag with Caron’s shoe.
Next we have Suzy says Vernon and asks her what preparations she has been doing, well says Suzy I often walk around the office wearing only one shoe and once the rest of the office knew about this race my shoe disappeared for the day, I had to go home wearing one shoe, the next day as soon as I got in they took my shoe and I spent the rest of the week wearing only one shoe. Nice says Vernon, time to loose one shoe then, Suzy slips off her right sling-back shoe and puts it in the bag.
Next we have Kelly and wow I can see she is wearing thigh high boots. Nice choice of footwear Kelly, have you been training too. Kelly says yes sort off with my friends help they made me wear only my left boot all last week. So since I love boots I’m going to wear only my left boot today. As she was saying that she slipped off her right boot and dropped it into the bag with the other odd shoes.
Ok that’s the four contestants for today’s race now get ready and off you go, the four girls all walk off together and get to the first checkpoint and there barefoot is checked. They carry on to the next checkpoint and at the final one all are fine and they all complete the first race.
Ok girls says Vernon you have all completed the first race, the next race will be next week but you all have to go home wearing the one shoe you have on and come back next week wearing the same shoe, except you Kelly it’s one boot for you. The girls all limp off home.
