Tuna Melt returned for another run at the Muddy Buddy this year, albeit with a personnel change, as Sean stepped in for Brian, out due to injury this year.

We ran a good race, I think; I know I felt better (or less awful, to be honest) than in previous years, probably because of my increased running training and a little more time on the bike, and also because of more familiarity with the course the third time around.

We saw some great costumes (astronauts, ketchup and mustard, multiple smurfs) and enjoyed the Red Hook Beer Garden at 9:00 in the morning, which sounds bad but worked out just fine. We’ll be back next year, I hope; I wonder if we’ll ever be able to convince more friends to join in the fun.
