Angels spread their wings over CrossFit world

A group of local athletes from Iron Angel CrossFit Ballito competed in the 2013 Reebok United We Stand (UWS) games in October.
The UWS games, held at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga and Holla Trails, is the biggest CrossFit event in South Africa.
CrossFit is a training program that builds strength and conditioning through extremely varied and challenging workouts.  Each day the workout will test a different part of your functional strength or conditioning, not specialising in one particular thing, but rather with the goal of building a body capable of practically anything and everything.
Seventy seven teams made up of two women and four men each, competed from CrossFit gyms from all over SA to test skills, strength, power and endurance. They were tested in eight events.
Team Iron Angel was placed third, causing a big upset in the CrossFit community having only started training together three months before the event.
The team comprised Iron Angel owner and mother-of-two, Nicole Seymour, mother-of-four Karin Mills, biokineticist Blaize Swiegers, personal trainer Dwayne Swiegers and pastor Tom Basson.
