Morning Session Not Good. Better at Noon USRPT

It was a combination of a few things that made the morning session less than optimal.  I went to Commerce.  It is only $1.00 to swim there.  It is only 20 minutes away.  But there are no backstroke flags and there is not a deck pace clock.  It is awkward to look up at the scoreboard clock.  So I tried to get into a session but was not swimming well.

Set 1
400/500 freestyle
5:20/6:00 race pace

No deck pace clock? You need a PaceWatch. Check it out at brilliantswim.com.
