All Our Yesterdays circa 1978?

I made it to training at Gateshead this evening (although it cost me a trip to Newcastle for teenage triathlete to spend her pocket money)

There was a real element of deja vu and all our yesterdays as I found myself swimming at the back of the boy's lane following Fairy Snow Baby, Proudie and Fireman Mike.

It could have been a session from the late 70's, although Fairy Snow Baby was truly the baby of the squad at that time.

I really enjoyed a wallow in nostalgia with them. Fairy Snow Baby had obviously worked out a cunning plan for the session beforehand, and I was two thirds of the way through the set before  I realised that we should be swimming equal amounts of each stroke. ( I say should because I dipped out of most of the fly.)
