Of the more than 4000 people competing in the Downer New Zealand Masters Games in Whanganui this week, Don Weston is probably entered in the most events. The Hamilton man is planning to compete in 19 events - if he can fit them all in.
All of them involve running, swimming or cycling, and all contribute to his ability in triathlons.
He has competed overseas. He came second in his age group in the 2016 Snowy Mountain ITU Cross Triathlon at Crackenback in Australia, where he just about ran over a snake.
