Andy Jones-Wilkins Pre-2011 Western States 100 Interview

June 24, 2011 by Bryon Powell · 12 Comments 

If I’ve done a more enjoyable or casual interview for iRunFar I can’t remember it. In this interview, I chat with Andy Jones-Wilkins about his picks for the men’s and women’s field. Much laughing ensues. If there’s a man more obsessed with Western States (aka, Statesmas) than AJW, I haven’t met him. As AJW said about himself earlier in the evening, “I am not a normal person.”

    Good luck to both of you. Andy always seems to have a Sierra Nevada in hand, I love it!For some reason, I thought he would have an English accent.

    Andy’s drinking an Anderson Valley IPA if I’m not mistaken. This is my favorite duo. They play off each other awesomely well…
