I arrived at the Brussels airport in the morning from Copenhagen. A train station was at the airport so I got a ticket to Ghent (or Gent) and hopped on the next train for an hour ride to Ghent. I'll be staying here for 1-2 weeks, or maybe until the 17th when I may go to Leuven and meet up with some other OTC teammates. Last night we actually stayed at a hostel in a 4-person room. My agent and another of his athletes, Ryan, came later that night. It was one of the nicer hostels I've stayed in.

There are several things to see around the city that are close so I'll try to get out and see some of that. One thing was a castle that I really want to go see and tour. In the morning the 4 of us had to relocate to a hotel, the oldest hotel in Ghent they told us. It was only a 5 min taxi ride away. We will be here as long as there are rooms; we may have to go back to the hostel for one or two nights because of existing reservations at the hotel. We all went to the Ghent track for a workout today. It is the track where my third meet will be.
