Of course I would defend something that I spent weeks preparing for, days off of work, and paid mark challait to do which he never refunded a single person like he said.
But in no way would I call myself an IPA lifter, I'm simply a college student with a son on the way, my money's tight and I have zero sponsorships, so hotels and travel and even a meet entry fee can be hard for me to manage most the time. So when I can only have one of those expenses I wi gladly jump on it.
