It was one of those mornings that brings the collective sanity of F3 Nation into question, but as we always say, “it could’ve been worse”.  As the rain fell upon the hallowed ground of Williams Park, a PAX of 8 brave/stupid men assembled for a Monday beatdown.  The initial plan had been for an encore of the infamous power ballad workout complete with upgraded sound system (Thanks, Santa!).  Captain Kangaroo even broke out the Reo Speedwagon concert tee in honor of the event, but alas the weather was not going to cooperate with sensitive electronic equipment (save Wilson’s pacemaker).  So we improvised and here’s what went down (bonus points if you get the picture reference, sound off in comments):
