Another crisp cool morning with a clear sky…no e-mails, no conference calls, no cell phones. Two shovel flags planted as the PAX of 20 gathered with anticipation to see what’s new at Ball Bearings. The artist in my head is Pink Floyd this morning and I smile as I hear the fellowship of the thundering footsteps trample the earth. TARP leads un into the shadows and wasted little time setting the tone.

-Good to see the band getting back together, ready to be out with the cold and in with the warm.

-Apparently had a FNG that joined quietly and left early quietly…even the EH provider learned after the fact. Word is he had fun and will be back, we’ll label him Hollow Man till further notice.

-Spartan Spring Registration still open….they’ll be a group on Saturday & Sunday. Use F3Nation for the team name, sign up via www.spartanrace.com

-Make plans to post on Saturday March 2nd at Pullen Park, details to follow as we celebrate one year of F3 in Raleigh.
