Mika and Jessica dominate Fittest in the Namib

The growth and standard of CrossFit in the country seems in pretty good shape if last weekend’s Fittest in the Namib at Swakopmund served as any indication.As expected, the versatile 17-year-old talent Mika Pilzer once again showed that he is ready for more competition abroad, as he dominated the individual men’s competition from start to finish.The first two of five gruelling rounds of Fittest in the Namib started at the Mole beach on Friday, before moving to the SF sports field. Only competitors in the top half of the competition remained for the sixth and final round, which was focused around some calisthenics moves and weights.The well-organised event tested the athletes’ durability to the maximum.Despite the absence of some potential contenders and with much fewer entries from South Africa as was the case last year, the standard of the local entries was quite competitive. Spectators were treated to a show as men and women from all over the country gave their best.The top results:Individual Men:1 Mika Pilzer (576 points), 2 Hywie Bampton (548), 3 Bothma Keyser (544).Individual Female:1 Jessica Lofty-Eaton (600), 2 Michelle Pilzer (570).Rx Female Teams:1 Dynamic Divas (Marlinda Lucas and Hannelize de Waal) – 580.2 Hompie Kedompie (Robyn Visser and Jancke Rentel) – 564.3 Big Cook, Little Cook (Christel Thirion and Judith Bange) – 518.Rx Male Teams: 1 CFP264 (Tyrone Pieters and Andrew Mostert) – 588.2 Bro Reps (Jan Adriaan Potgieter and Freddie Nel) – 576.3 MAD Men (Deon Vermeulen and Massimo Basson) – 520.Masters Male Teams: 1 Los(t) Legends (Stephan van Rooyen and Celest Knight) – 594.2 Damascus Anvils (Francois Prinsloo and Herman Smit) – 560.3 Kill O Grams (Bruce Heyns, Pieter Dippenaar-Mostert, Khomtatite /Awaseb) – 522.Masters Female Teams:1 Fire & Ice (Azani Smit and Madelane Hennop) – 594.2 Damascus Punishers (Christine Thirion and Jackie Page) – 570.Scaled Male Teams:1 Lovable & Lazy (552), 2 KlippeKou (528), 3 Taragoempies (504).Scaled Female Teams:1 LIT (550), 2 Power Bunnies (524), 3 Just Peachy (522).
