Re: [STREND] Guiness Response



I recieved confirmation regarding the review of all submitted documents. My
camera ran out at 509, and the Marines wife got the rest on her digital camera
which had just enough left for the remaining few. This could have been an
issue.

I seen a picture of the guy who did the 512, (terrible form, I can' t believe
they let him get away with those, his knees were way out there)

The record is yours-
I know you will be over 700 you should blow this thing out of the water. I am
so busy running and racing lately, it is hard to find time to lift and
concentrate on pull ups. Perhaps in September when the best of the track is
behind me. I would like to raise money for some sort of charity again if I can.

Let me know how you do. Good Luck
Matt
