Congratulations Spendlove!! Bet your son was very proud of you too and the added satisfaction of beating someone like that must have made it even better. I can only just about walk straight so would never have the nerve to race anyone - I admire your courage and your speed!!

Well done Spendlove. I remember being in the mum's race at my daughter's sports day and seeing my little daughter anxiously willing me to win (or more likely not to make a fool of myself). I just came somewhere in the middle and we agreed that was better than last!

Wow amazing well done to your son and you.
You will of course pay for it later spendlove. Muscles will lock up and pains will appear
I had a vision of this mad lovely woman running the race of her life
Well done honey. It is nice to win one over on some folks and once in a while. 
Yes a bit childish but hay keeps you young 
But at 31 you are compared to me at 42

Well done Spendlove!
I accidently ran the wrong way in the Mum's race when my son was 4 and he forbid me to ever enter a Mum's race again!!!

I entered the Mum's race one year and ran for my life but was still beaten by some jumped up younger mum ....I think she may have cheated somehow!
My poor daughter hated sports day but in her senior school was nevertheless entered in a race...she came trailing in last way way behind everyone else and, to her credit and my eternal pride, as she came down the home straight she did a little twirl, waved her arms above her head and jigged her way to the finishing line to massive cheers from everyone! Even the teacher doing the commentating was cheering her on! No prizes but what a good sport she proved herself to be!
