One question I get asked about this ultra-marathon thing is "What do you eat when you are running for 9 hours?" It is a very good question and some things I ate during the Leona Divide might surprise you. Here is my list in no particular order:
3 accel gels (vanilla, orange, chocolate)
3 Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich squares
2 Starbursts
1/2 a vanilla cookie
1 bag of strawberry Gu Chomps
1 orange popsicle
2 cups of coca-cola
2 24oz bottles of accelerade
1 handfull of gummy bears
2 peanut butter pretzels
1 handfull of goldfish crackers
5 salt tablets
4 24oz bottles of carb pro (electrolyte drink)
1 fruit gummi
1 saltine cracker
8 1in. banana slices
5 orange wedges
2 watermelon squares
1 Kashi chocolate almond bar

Okay, so have you calculated a guess on how many calories you consumed?
I heard that some ultra runners call a pizza place & have a pizza delivered to where they will be in like 30 minutes. Then, they roll it up and munch on the whole pizza over the next several miles. Sound appetizing?

I think you are referring to some Dean Karnazes lore, and I don't think he does that unless he is going 50+miles. Actually, I don't think he really does it that often. I believe his pizza of choice is hawaiian style. I don't know if I could stomach something that heavy!
