The weekend is hardly the time for riddles, but a couple of beauties were posed at the Coronation Classic triathlon that finished at Mount Maunganui's Coronation Park yesterday.
When is an open event not open to everyone, and how can the athlete with the day's fastest time not be considered the overall winner?
St Paul's College athlete Adam McCarthy, 16, had the day's fastest time of 58m 26s, but appeared the only person on the course who knew which race he was running.
"They told me to turn around at the base of the Mount but I said no ... I'll keep going," McCarthy said after crossing the finish line more than a minute ahead of second-placed Matt Backler.
"I was doing the sprint; I came first, I think," McCarthy continued.
