Step 4: Taking Care of your Runner
Tagalog + English: dahil bore na muna akong magenglish
May mga chances na ang tanging gawin lang ng runner ay tumakbo na lang ng tumakbo hanggang the finish line. Kaya dito papasok ang Crew mo na magsisilbing Utak ng Runner by that time.
The runner and support crew and vehicle ay dapat may malinaw na communication along the way lalo na kung madilim for example:
*Running Distance and Intervals of a Pitstop: from the start ang kadalasang usapan nyan ay wait for me sa 5k or 8k
then nasa runner na yung ibibigay nyang distance according sa choice nya
*Pitch black ang route: may chances na may mga lasingero sa daan and worst aso at mga unexpected Monsters na maaring maencounter ng runner along the way, the best way to do this is to IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE and do his/her running business instead. Pero ang magagawa ng support crew dito ay pag may nakita kayong nagiinuman and possible may sumthing along the way better stop 50 meters away na makikita ninyo ang runner ninyo
* Stray DOG: *Search google how to avoid this
* 50km Check point (DUST BOWL): Ang atake namin dito kasi ay kung makaabot ka na sa 50km eat lang ng konti, massage lang, ICE pack, Medications, change new socks and new shoes, new outfit at resume na. Ang iniiwasan natin dito ay abutan ka ng Init sa daan Attack while the day is young.
* Always follow the rules of the Race & Cheer for your runner
* Just in case na maabutan na kayo ng HEAT ng tanghaling tapat, ang interval ng runner sa support crew ay maaring every 2km meet up na along the way dahil madaling matuyo na ang runner ninyo.
* Sa mga oras na need ng runner ng mabasa ang katawan.. Wag na wag nyong babasain ang lower limbs (thighs to the feet)
