Caffeine is a diuretic and makes you pee (that's why it's in diet pills). It can also raise your heart rate. Coffee can cause stomach or other GI issues during a run, due to its acidity. Also not the same as hydrating with water.

A coffee or two in the AM to get stuff going? Not the end of the world. Same with soda. But people who suck down coffee/soda all day, that starts to be a problem. Yes, the liquid in the coffee hydrates, but at @LAKid53 said, the caffeine sucks water back out. Alot of people aren't properly hyrdrated to begin with, and it gets even harder when on vacation. And when you are running, if you feel thirsty you are already usually under-hydrated.
Which is an interesting situation when you look at energy gels and such that are caffeinated for use during long runs.
rD tells you to make sure to hydrate...and then skimps on the porta potties along the course. That first stop needs to have more than 10...

Staying on site, All Star resort, wednesday till monday. Got a nice flight and room, both cheaper than expected (Booking relatively late). Happy me.
Party in the park after the race Sunday night!

Out of all our resorts, I guess AKL has the best restaurants/bars/lounge, so big party @surfsupdon's place

We can certainly hang around the Lodge for a post race feast! I tried for BWI or Yacht/Beach but they were already full. And although the Commodore Suite was available at Yacht, I didn’t find the 2100/night price tag suitable.Out of all our resorts, I guess AKL has the best restaurants/bars/lounge, so big party @surfsupdon's place

Sanaa bread service anyone?
I've got a 1 bedroom at Boulder Ridge that has a full kitchen....and a balcony. Why are we not considering the race party at WS? We've paid for through our registration....and we can party with all the other runners. During F&W. And we have Epcot all to ourselves.

That only at the sunday evening. Party all week long, right? ;-)
But change of plan. Skip the lounge @ AKL. Runners meeting at the balcony of @LAKid53. Let's share all those nice running stories

Well, y'all are going to be disappointed. I start my partying about noon on the day of the last race.
