This morning I paddled the K1 in the harbor for 60 minutes. It's a day of scattered storms in the Mid South and I heard a lot of thunder, but I didn't get rained on.
During today's session I timed myself from the Hernando DeSoto Bridge to the Auction Avenue bridge, over which my best time in a surf ski is a little under three minutes (2:57, I think). I didn't paddle all-out because I still haven't yet achieved a skill level in this boat where I can paddle all-out. My time was 3:22... meh. But I think paddling at speed, along with steady paddling, slow paddling, and stroke drills, is part of the mix of stuff that will help me get comfortable in the K1.
