Jolie replied: > I've heard from those who have expeditioned with Chris Duff that he paddles at around 5 knots, would you believe?< 5-knots sound sustainable given the right genetics. I believe Paul Caffynn could maintain that pace. Funny thing is both Paul and Chris aren't muscular guys one would normally associate this type of athleticism with. Guess they both have an abundance of slow-twitch muscle fibre. They must also have an abundance of mental stamina too. I think that goes beyond genetics, something Mike D. left out in his reply.
