Nice job! 

Nothing best the Barney Rubble running in place, in the mud, dance.  Always a good time.

Great job!  This was my first go at the HUFF (1 loop).  I would have liked to have been able to take in the scenery a little more, but the mud was so deep, I spent most of the time looking at the ground!  Awesome temperature though!
