I think a bit more info is needed?
Unless this is going to be one of those threads where the OP is pretending to be a child/cat/book character, in which case I'm not interested

Oh in that case you should wear it everywhere
Get some sunglasses too so you can slide them to the end of your nose and say, "Don't you know who I am?"

Non competitive schools are shite.
I'm the opposite - was extremely glad I was pregnant this year so had a valid excuse not to take part! Usually get dragged up by my pal, but it's so humiliating as I'm not a fast runner, and my huge baps are a hindrance, no matter the sports bra! My DH's joke - "it's a wonder you don't knock yourself out!" Gee thanks, twat.

polka finally! Someone on my wavelength! I won the Mum's sprint last year and fuck me, I did not stop going on about it
Come to this year and I was worried that I'd bragged so much there was an expectation that I would win. I honestly think I know how Usain Bolt feels now before he races.
They did a twist on the race this year so it wasn't a flat out run but victory still was mine. I may have to sit out next year to give the other poor dears a chance.
I may take this all far too seriously.

I worked at a school on an army base. The parents races were ridiculously competitive. Like a stampede.

The last Mums' race I entered, I was standing on the start line gossiping to my friend. We didn't hear the whistle blow and only started running, wheezing with giggles, when all the other mums had nearly reached the finishing line. We gained a reputation for being flakey... (No medals for that, unfortunately)
So well done you! You Gave It Your All (something much lauded by the teachers at my school) and emerged victorious.
Perhaps a winner's lap around your local town/village/street? Have you a flag of some description you can drape around your shoulders?
