Finally arrived in Belgium

The team and I have now finally arrived at the sports institute we are staying at for the next 14 days in Belgium. The travel was very long and the whole team was shattered by the end of it. We had one 12 hour flight from Auckland to LAX then a 10 hour flight from LAX to Heathrow, London and then a 1 hour flight from Heathrow to Brussels, Belgium(which to top a horrible day of traveling off it was delayed by 2 hours). We then were picked up from the airport by our sports physiologist, Tom V (who is from Belgium so came over a week earlier to set everything up), and then drive for an hour to a little town outside of Gent and arrived at the sports institute. Have jut finished my first session in the pool here, is such a nice pool with proper starting blocks and touch pads. There is an outdoor 50m pool we can use also. Hopefully will be a fun couple of weeks here in Belgium. Judging by the drive from the airport, Belgium is beautiful! Just hope it doesn't rain too much while we are here!
