I paddled the K1 in the harbor for 60 minutes this morning. I felt about as comfortable in the boat as I ever have. I did some more of those paddle-over-the-head drills and was able to relax my whole body while doing so.
I also did six of those 12-stroke sprints at maximum intensity that I do to give the ATP-CP energy system some work. I usually do a lot of those in the final days before a big race, but I think it's useful to do some now and then just to keep feeling sharp and not so sluggish. Also, because the motor skills for paddling at a high stroke rate are slightly different from those for steady paddling, I think it's a good idea to incorporate some fast paddling as I try to build my skill level in the K1.
