It’s somehow October already, and it’s been months since the Giveaway Extravaganza, and far too many months since a standalone extravaganza. I really need to have more of these. Partly because I love giving away stuff. And partly because if I was smart I’d do more of these posts merely because they take all of about 6 minutes to put together. And in the case of this week, that means I can sit on this beach in Cancun drinking even more all-inclusive drinks instead of writing. Boom!
For everyone else though (except I suppose those either living on a beach or at Kona) – you’ve got the weekend ahead – which is certainly like sitting on a beach. Unless you’re racing, in which case it’s no beach.
For this weekend I (well, technically my friends at Clever Training) will be giving away a brand new Garmin Edge 520. They’ve got plenty of them in stock now, and one has your name on it.
To enter: Simply leave a comment below telling me what your training or racing plans entail this weekend!
Yup, it’s that easy! And yes, you can enter no matter where you live. Louisiana or Lithuania – all are OK! Someone from Lithuania actually won in the most recent giveaway.
Remember that by supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically everything they sell, unless it’s already on some sort of big sale. From GPS watches to clothing to nutrition.
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, October 12th, 2015 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly, not on coolness of your training or racing plans. Unless they are so epic they cannot be ignored.

Plan to ride on Saturday, run on Sunday
Maybe a little spin on Sunday,
Saturday is Handball-time :)
90 km bike ride tomorrow morning and veg for rest of the weekend (it’s thanksgiving in Canada)
Cooler weather will mean putting up the road bike and breaking out the MTB!
Probably a run and some pie eating (canadian thanksgiving ;) )
Long run Saturday, easy bike on Sunday.
Just plan to do some casual biking this weekend, an 80k circuit around the city.
5k tempo run on local trail by river, listening to the birds sing.
Running and framing my basement. Then sleeping from eating too much turkey!
This is a long weekend in Canada… so hopefully lots of riding!
Canadian Thanksgiving. Long ride, cyclocross tempo training ride, and a long hike in the woods.
Hi,
though I just made post number 2021 or something, I’d love to have a Garmin 520.
I started Training with Trainerroad thanks to your posting around it just 3 weeks ago and I’m really into it.
Riding 4 times a week, tomorrow (like yesterday) will be a nice ‘Virginia’ in my basement (on a Tacx smart trainer).
Love to read your Blog!

After being sick for 3 of 4 weeks, just getting on the bike is a win for this weekend.
Run + swim
Will go for a a few brisk laps (~20km) of Regents Park on the bike tomorrow morning, and on Sunday morning a ride out to Box Hill and back (80km). Should be some good sunny weather to ride in, can’t wait!
I’m be pre-riding a 50-mile gravel grinder course before next weekend’s fundraiser ride for the local Kids on Bikes chapter. I’ll probably also get a mountain bike ride in since it is Fall and it’s such a beautiful time to be out in the mountains.

I’ll try to recover from the 1800m climb ride I just got back from.
So granny-paced 1h ride ;)
My plan is simple:
Saturday- 15K trek run
Sunday- 50K bike.
Saturday swim (2k), sunday 50k ride
Weekend off from training.
Back on the bike and doing at least 25 miles Saturday!
Some casual running
Long ride if it doesn’t rain :-(
Long steady run saturday, and interval session on sunday, with som sprints.
A run on the beach
Just a local 5k this weekend.
Travelling all weekend, but hopefully I can at least go for a gym session.
Three days of cold rides in the Laurentian hills. Target: 300km.
I’ll swim some technique drills and finish with speed drills. Then an hour of weight training
Saturday morning ride; Sunday morning run, then an afternoon of football (American style — that is to say, sitting on a sofa and watching TV — but I choose to call it “recovery.”)
I plan to support my wife by jogging along her in her first half marathon :)
Two morning rides along along the coast in beautiful Del Mar, CA.
I plan on riding up Loveland Pass in Colorado
Longish run – 13.3 miles – with my local independent running store!
Long jog on Sunday.. Nothing on Saturday… :-)
I plan to ride… lots… between turkey dinners :)
Weights in the gym on Friday, 15 mile bike ride on Saturday, and 3 mile run on Sunday.
Today is a rest day for me, then the weekend is the final two events of the local Cyclocross series. I’m racing twice tomorow (CX 4/5 Masters 40+ and regular CX 4/5) and once more on Sunday (just the Masters 40+). Really looking forward to it, especially the Saturday races. I love that particular ‘cross course.
Sat – Strength training on my bike & 2k run
Sun – Recovery ride or a stroll in the park
Weekend off..woohoo!
I’ve been working a ton this week (fifteen to twenty hour days!) which means I haven’t worked out at all this week. But I’ve gotta catch up on school now, so I fear all I’ll get in is a short run! It’s a shame as the foliage and weather are perfect for riding this weekend.
I’d love me a 520!
The weather is forecast to stellar here so that means a long ride to torture the group on Saturday; a slower ride on Sunday with my sister then another long ride on Monday to burn off calories so there is room for lots of Turkey! Yup, up here in Canada we are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend.
20 mile ride Saturday, 15 mile run Sunday

some recovery runs and an easy ride..
8 X 600 meter intervals around a track – a lot less fun than sitting on a beach in Cancun:(
