YHC&#8217;s first year doing IPC was in 2024 &#8211; the main rule for IPC is don&#8217;t check twitter and don&#8217;t be an ass. This beatdown below YHC was accompanied by @Greenspan and @Cruiser and a few others at Hanes Park. That is all I remember but the format worked well and YHC decided to bring it back. @Rollback would have loved this workout, but for some reason, did not post today&#8230; the plan was all in vain!!<\/p>\n<p>YHC\u00a0<em>did not\u00a0<\/em>call an EC run &#8211; mainly because YHC knew what was coming and was tired. Also, the M has increasingly made it clear that I wake her up with my silent alarm and getting changed downstairs. Being the great hubby YHC is, I let the M get that extra 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>YHC stated in the preblast that we would hard launch at 0530 so get your warming up beforehand!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>The Thang:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>There would be a 5 minute timer.
