Alan,
I've hit some big numbers recently, so I wanted to say hey and let you know I am doing well. First, let me start out by saying, thank you for supporting me. The gear just keeps getting better and better! I hope I have met the expectations you had for me when you decided to sponsor me years ago. I'm on a good road this year. I've hit a 585 deadlight, 385 raw bench press, 265x2 log press, and 300 farmers walks.
I was just awarded the Team ?Ironman' Award and the Outstanding Character Award after having a great wrestling season this year. I have also decided to continue my education at Slippery Rock Universtiy after I graduate high school in a couple months.
I'm going to be competing in both power lifting and strongman again this year. I plan to compete in at least 7-8 contests. I recently won the Open Men's 200# division at the Krank'd Classic, and this qualified me for the 2009 NAS Men's Nationals and Teen Nationals. I hope to win Teen Nationals and place at Men's nationals this year. I will continue to support APT pro wrist straps in my daily training sessions and at Nationals.
Traveling to Nationals and Teen nationals this year is going to be a hard task, since both are a flight and hotel stay away. If you are able to help me with the costs of travel/hotel I would be very thankful. I will continue to be a human APT billboard regardless.
Thanks for everything,
Alex M. Truman
