This morning I did the February strength routine and paddled for 60 minutes. In the boat I did eight six-stroke sprints at one-minute intervals, and then spent the half hour from 0:25 to 0:55 doing 30-second sprints at four-minute intervals.
I had hit the strength work pretty hard, and as a result was tired in the boat. The workout felt taxing, but I tried to maintain good technique throughout. Making a canoe or kayak go fast demands good technique, and I feel like I nail it some of the time, but not all of the time. Of the eight 30-second sprints I did today, it seemed there were maybe two or three where I felt I truly had all cylinders firing.
