The opportunity for YHC to Q 90-minute Whiplash first came up a couple months ago, and as the saying goes, it seemed like a good idea at the time. What better way to wrap up a milestone birthday week? And, appropriately enough, on April Fool’s Day. As the day got closer though, anxiety continued to grow, as expected. But, I was confident that the grounds of the NC Museum or Art would provide plenty of options to fill a workout, regardless of how many were in attendance. Lucky PAX of 13 gathered for the celebration. Here’s what we did:
Warm up 1
