Narrative:
Upon landing the aircraft; I experienced a crosswind gust causing me to lose aircraft control and deviate off the runway. I took actions to maintain wings level and slow the aircraft down. Subsequently; I was moved off the runway and the aircraft tires became stuck in mud approximately 15 ft to the left of the runway. I required assistance to remove the aircraft from the mud.
