A lively, if not rambunctious, CARPEx PAX of 26 gathered at A-team this morning to celebrate Hotspot and Michelob’s 2-year F3 anniversary. Other factors at play this morning were the return to standard time, cooler temps, a broken 108-year curse, and another Wolfpack almost-win. Bartman’s “Monday as hell” observation during COT seemed appropriate.

Welcome Sony from Charlotte, FNG Water Wings, and A-team first-timer McDonald.  Also welcome back Coldstone from North Raleigh who EHed Hotspot and Michelob back in November 2014, and pulled the classic move of not showing up for their first workout, although made up for it by posting at A-team the following week and a couple more times since then.
