Boulder's Daily Camera did a great interview with surprise 3rd place Leadville 100 finisher, 48-year-old Charles Corfield. He finished in an amazing 19:42 in his first attempt. You can read the full article here.

Some great quotes from the article:

After a little research, Corfield says he arrived at his own, personal "rocket fuel" formula that keeps him going and, just as importantly, aids in a speedy recovery. "If you want to get carbohydrates in your system, maltodextrin is the best way I know," he says. His formula (see box) also includes whey protein and water, and he also crushes up a Rolaids for magnesium and calcium, and adds different flavoring for variety.

"I think having been exposed to people like Dave Mackey, Buzz Burrell, Darcy Africa, Peter Bakwin, Stephanie Ehret and Lisa Goldsmith certainly has a ruboff effect," he says. "I don't claim to be that good, but these are all unassuming people you can meet on the street who are superstars. That's actually quite inspirational to the rest of us."
