While meticulously lining up the above action cameras for some underwater tests this week I realized that somehow I missed April on the giveaway plan. I’ll blame the stingray for that, as clearly there’s no other explanation. But don’t worry, I won’t forget June…after all, we all know what happens in June! And with a massive ton of hot new gadgets on the market, I promise it’ll be EPIC!
And while it’s not technically May Day anymore, it is a day in May, thus one could technically still call this a May Day Giveaway (and I am). But no matter what I call it – it’s still a giveaway, and that’s what counts!
So in order to get folks all spring’d up, it’s time to give some stuff away! In this case, that’d be a $400 credit to Clever Training. Which, is enough to cover any of the action cams above (including the GoPro that I took the photo with) – or, any other gadget they sell, like a new Garmin, Suunto or Polar unit. Or you can use the credit towards a trainer or power meter. Your choice.
To enter yourself in, simply leave a comment below with the following:
To Enter: Tell me your next planned race (location/rough date) and the goal for the race. If you don’t have any planned races this year, then let’s go with the last race you competed and how it went.
Got it? Go forth!

My next race that I actually have planned is the Prairie State Marathon on 10/11 in Libertyville, IL. Hopefully no cataclysmic events will happen this year to skew my training a month before the race like last year and I will actually be able to break 4 hrs. Based on my current fitness level and my expected fitness gains through training, 3:50 might not be out of the question.

Zarautz Triathlon sub 5h
In all honesty I’m not specifically planning for a specific race, nor have I competed in one thus far. But I am working hard to train. I guess you can say that I’m competing in a race against myself. I’m trying very hard to get more in shape and to lose some much unwanted body fat. What started out as just going to the gym at very irregular intervals, has already evolved in me going to the gym at least twice a week, running at least once a week, mountainbiking and recently I’ve started swimming. Now I know this might be nothing special for most people who read this, but to me my goal to lose weight is very important and that’s what keeps me going mostly. Ultimately I’d love to compete in a mud run when I’ve trained more and very far in the future I’d love to run a triathlon…
But for now let’s work towards my main first goal (race if you will) of losing weight!
Lou Cox Memorial 5k in Dayton on Memorial Day – hoping to break 17:00.
My next race is the Dirty Feet trail race in Kelowna, BC. My goal is to beat my previous time. That shouldn’t be too hard since that was one of my first races 4 years ago.

My next big (for me) race is the American Fork Canyon 1/2 marathon. After 20 years of little to no exercise I’ve just started running and riding again. My goal is to finish.
