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!
