WARMUP: Dynamic
THE THANG: Our AOQ Pole Dancer set the stage with a taxing Dora of 50 Burpees, 100 Big Bois, 150 Merkins, 200 squats and 250 step-ups. Partners ran about 300 yards from the Pizza Hut around the parking lot. Woof. What a send off!
We then travelled down to the lower lot because what is Atlantis without some games.
The two former AOQs and the new AOQ teamed up to compete in a 3 v 3 tic tac toe game. 3 burpee buy-in Sprint 40 yards to the tic tac toe board Sprint back Next man up.
Non-running pax continued on a Thor ladder of 1 BBSU – 4 American Hammers (2-8, 3-12, etc.).
While the AOQs took the first game, they were easily defeated by stealth gamesmanship from Toothless, DintyMoore, and Squid.
MOLESKINE: :clap::clap::clap: to Pole Dancer for his leadership at Atlantis. His warm, welcoming demeanor, killer taste in music, dynamic physical abilities, and possession of the best ugly mug collection in town made Atlantis the place I kept coming back to every week and the place I want to see thrive.
Come visit us Under the Sea. :trident:
