The Western States 100mi Endurance Run (WS100) is the mother of all ultras. The race is so popular and rich with history, athletes from all over the world compete yearly in a "lottery", which determines who will get the opportunity to run the course. After 5 years, Jerry was finally accepted through the lottery system and accepted entry into the 2010 race!
The WS100 is held in the last week of June. In preparation for Run the Coast, Jerry will be training and competing at Western States. He will be "paced" by Jason Chilson for the final 38 miles in their quest to score a sub-24hr silver belt buckle for Team Iron Andy.
From now until June 2010, physical training will be focused on a series of shorter ultramarathons, which will prepare Jerry for Western States 100. At this point, logistics and preparation for Run the Coast continue and will be strengthened by the intermediate goal of running a successful race at the 2010 Western States 100. Following the WS100, they will be driving the route from San Francisco to San Diego, mapping out the exact course for Run the Coast! Go Team Iron Andy!
