A new low

This morning I did two sets of the May strength routine and paddled for 60 minutes.

Conditions were calm down at the river, so I got out the K1.  This time I lowered the seat a little: it was already on the second-lowest setting, and moving it to the lowest setting made a difference of no more than a centimeter, but I could immediately detect an improvement in stability.  The boat is still very tippy, mind you, but not as bad as it was.

It hadn't even occurred to me to adjust the seat height until I happened to read this blog post by Greg Barton right after the 2008 Outdoors, Inc., Canoe and Kayak Race, in which he paddled his Legacy K1.
