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:
#1: CAT DORA
Carolina Dry Docks x 100
Atomic Merkins x 200 (rapidly modified to A Merkin)
Tricep Dips x 300
Partner runs around water tower.

#2: LION

Each PAX gets total reps and in between, run to pavilion for 5 cat-dogs or cat-cows or cat-whatevers.

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:).

Another one

AO: westeros
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Demo – F3 NoHo HTX, Tim the Toolman, Young and Restless, CubCadet, bluemule, Pep, Grape
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
CONDITIONS:
Fantastic morning. Crisp air

WARMUP:
The usual suspects: SSH to get the blood moving, a round of merkins to wake up the arms, squats to loosen the hips, and some light stretching to make sure no one pulled a hammy.

THE THANG 1:
Bear Way to Heaven up the little school steps. Ten full rounds of bear crawls up with a merkin on each step. Why ten? Because someone had to make sure we put in more stair work than handsomizer. A true gut check—hands and legs burning by the end.

THE THANG 2:
Circuit grind: 5 pull-ups, 20 dips, 30 squats. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Too many sets to count, but enough to make the shoulders scream and the quads question life choices. Simple, effective, punishing.

Sets of Merry where tossed in between each set.

MOLESKINE:
We almost capped things off with a Burpee Apocalypse, but I gave in to the peer pressure of Grape and listened to the little voice saying “slow down, live to fight another day.” Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to push and when to hold back. Good reminder that accountability isn’t just about going harder, it’s also about checking your ego and keeping it sustainable.
