Wellington, New Zealand

Well I arrived safe and sound here in Wellington.  Was the usual "fun times" traveling!!  Got in after almost 30 hours of travel had a little clean up and was off to Hurricanes training.  Watched the last 45 minutes of the session and met up with Strength and Conditioning Coach David Gray. He gave me the tour of the facility and of course the place I love to be...the weightroom!! After practice was over I met with the Head Coach Mark Hammet or as he's known in rugby Hammer!!! He welcomed me as he remembers me from my visit to the Crusaders in 2006 where he once coached. We went for a feed before Ben had to be in meetings and thank God because I was hungry and in need of coffee!!! After his meeting Ben hit his weights session with me which was good as we continue to make our adjustments to the training program.  We finished off with some solid sandbag training. Tomorrow is a day off for them so I get to see more of Wellington. I can't wait!!
