Bring me some water (2)
Netherlands, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, Laan op Zuid, Rotterdam Marathon 2013 , Replenisher, Water (uncut).
The zone captured here belongs to the water replenishment station at almost 25 km from the start. The first part of the station is for the pro-runners with individualized services, the second part is for the amateur runners. This one is shot at the latter section. The transfer of the carton with water (with a little white sponge on top of it) needs concentration of both the runner and the volunteers because the runners don’t stop for it.
Various techniques are developed by the replenishers : from just extending the arm and holding it stationary, via moving the arm during the transfer to moving the arm and turning the upper torso with it. But sometimes the transfer fails ;-)
The station is sponsored by our local water company ‘Evides’ and staffed with a hard working crew of replenishment volunteers. Evides, since their modern UV-treatment water purification plant came on line, produces water that tastes as good as bottled mineral water :-)
Check out Melissa Etheridge – Bring me some water for the soundtrack
My thoughts go out to the ones that lost their life and were hurt during the attack on the Boston marathon. And of course to their families and friends too.
