Celebrating Global Cat Day at Atlantis

AO: atlantis
Q: Vector
PAX: CubCadet, Papa Bear, Pole Dancer, Subway, Toothless
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
Gearing up to venture over to the esteemed AO of Atlantis, YHC opted to give the PAX what they want: a vote on the theme. Turns out October 16th is both World Food Day and Global Cat Day, so by a vote of 3 :black_cat: to 2 :canned_food:(I voted for both – hooray America!), the :black_cat: :cat2: took the win . . .

CONDITIONS: Purr-fect (see what I did there?)

PLAYLIST:
Stray :black_cat: Strut – Stray Cats
Cool for :black_cat: :cat2: – Squeeze
Black :black_cat: – Janet Jackson
Love :black_cat::cat2: – The Cure
What’s New Pussy:black_cat:? – Tom Jones
The :lion_face: Sleeps Tonight – The Tokens
Nashville :black_cat::cat2: – The Lovin’ Spoonful
Honky :black_cat: – Elton John
:black_cat:’s in the Cradle – Harry Chapin
Eye of the :tiger: – Survivor
:tiger: – ABBA
Little :lion_face: Man – Mumford and Sons

WARMUP:
Slow mosey around the front to the playground
SSH x 15
LBAC x 20
Seal Claps x 15
Overhead Press x 15
RLBAC x 15
OYO stretch

THE THANG:

Tricep Dips x 300
Partner runs around water tower.

Mosey to Startex just in time

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Check the Slack for info on TN Tussle, Chiliteria and of course Octoburpee (it’s not too late to join – oh who am I kidding, of course it is, ’cause that means 2x burpees to catch up – eep).

COT:
Praises for M awards, movement on home selling.
Prayers for thoughtful leadership in the US and an end to the shutdown

MISC THOUGHTS:
– Playlist creation led to new music discoveries – a song called “Nashville Cats?” Perfection. ABBA has a tiger song . . . who knew?
– The food playlist for World Food Day was pretty good too – may have to dust that off in the future
– For a brief minute, Q almost decided to just play T Swift’s new album in full – Vector ain’t a hater and it’s got some bangers (even if one might be about a certain football player’s, ahem, :eggplant:).

Good Will Bunting

AO: atlantis
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Squatter, SalPal, Oatmeal, sooner, Subway, Puzzlah, Toothless, Siri
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: dusty

WARMUP: mosey around the field, active warmups

THE THANG: KICKBALL!

Started off with Last Man Standing- one pitch, if you get out, you join the pitcher in the outfield. Last batter to get out wins. Immediately had to add people to the outfield due to Oatmeal’s lack of hustle.

Switched to standard kickball where we ended in a tie! (boooooo)

Highlighted by some superb batting from Toothless, an opportunity to improve fielding abilities from Siri, and a true masterclass in bunting from both squads. Everyone was red from burpees in the dirt after every hit.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The dreaded Tennessee Tussle is scheduled! Get excited to form teams of four so we can improve on our finish from last year!

COT: Prayers for health, the passing of loved ones, and career adversity. Always thankful for the PAX providing a welcoming space to share our struggles, emotions, and triumphs together.

PLAYLIST: Quickly threw together selections from the top results on Spotify for “baseball walk up music.” Turns out the youth these days only pull from two categories for walk up tunes- rap made after 2019, and classic rock. Go figure.

Staying in pairs, partners did WW1s facing each other and passing the rice bag at the top of their WW1s. 3 minutes, 50 seconds (also, an eternity).

During the partner exercises, PAX shared their favorite US travel destinations.

Rice bag hold. 1 PAX got on their six and held a rice bag in their hands over their head while also doing a six-inch-hold with a rice bag on their shins. Hold as long as possible while the other PAX counted and encouraged. 2 full rotations. In the first, Pole Dancer held for 31 seconds but everyone did at least 25s. In the second round, Toothless incorporated some micro-adjustments to extend out to 40s, but everyone did at least 27s to better their time. Strong work.

2 rounds of WW1s plus 10-15s hollow body hold.

30x Alabama prom dates

Hollow body hold till time.
