All sports stories have one common element in them. They are all inspirational. However, sometimes they are magical, as in the story of Tyler Moon. After going through a life-threatening episode in Twin Cities 10-Miler, Tyler is once again ready to compete in the marathon that he left unfinished two years ago. Only this time, he’ll run beside the guy who saved his life.
In the 2019 edition of the Twin Cities 10-Miler marathon, the 25-year-old Minnesota resident Tyler Moon suffered a cardiac attack during the run. He didn’t show any signs of life for nearly 15-minutes. As per the reports, he experienced ventricular tachycardia, a type of cardiac attack which reduces blood flow, and the runner fell on the ground on his face.

Bueno not only saved Tyler’s life from the unfortunate accident but also helped him to train for the marathon once again. After the incident in 2019, they immediately became friends, and now they’ll be taking part in the Twin Cities 10-Miler together. Tyler has already done a virtual marathon last year, and now he is ready to finish what he started two years ago.
On his friendship with Tyler, Bueno said, “He’s one of those people who’s a jokester, but you can also talk to him about anything, and that’s what we do,” says Bueno. “Sports, family, work, running—we just never really have any quiet time.”
