Quick Workout Routes - Follow the Markers

With our days getting shorter and windows of decent weather becoming less frequent, I often find I just want a simple workout that I can do in less than an hour. By knowing the distance and repeating the route, I can compete with myself for time. One route I like to follow is along the channel and hazard markers north from Swantown Marina and back. I through in a little zigzag from Priest Point to the old floating log on the return for a little extra time too. It's just over two and half miles of paddling and depending on your goals and tempo, can be a 35-55 minute workout. Perfect for those days when you spot a little break in the clouds on the double doplar radar.
