I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays. But for those unlucky elves who received a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.
The winner will get a $500 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime. By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell. If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the new Garmin Fenix3 to a BSX Gen2 Insight to a random pair of socks to the 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat.
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what product you’d get and why (but don’t worry, you can change your mind later if you win).
The reason you need a short description of ‘’why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. A360), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Thursday, December 31st, 2015 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

I would have LOVED to get the Fenix 3 for christmas!! Would be super cool to win it :)
Garmin Fenix 3, just because it’s a cool gadget that I don’t have or need.
P1 pedals so I can switch between bikes
A new trainer to replace my Schwinn Velodynosaur.
Would love to get the new Ambit 3, or maybe the Garmin Fenix. Hmmm tough one.
4iiii or Watteam power meter. It’s the one tech product I really want but can’t quite justify just yet.
A power meter!
Garmin 920XT because my 310 is on its last dying breath
Garmin 520, so I can finally join the 21st century and not worry where I left the battery cover for my Avocet 40!
I’d probably put it towards a power meter so I can quantify my training and my improvements.
I would like a new tri suit because I am now so fat from the holidays that I can’t fit into my old one.
Garmin 235.I really like the optical HR monitor and feature set is just right for my needs. It is really a high time to retire 620, its cheap look and poor screen.
some kind of power meter for my speedconcept, to help motivate me to get back on the bike in the new year.
garmin fenix 3
I would get the Fenix 3 watch with heart rate monitor.
Thanks and happy holidays!
This is the year for me to get a power meter on my bike. I just got one on my kickr and it’s been very useful! 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter is what I’d get.
I would get a power meter. I do not have one,so it would be great to get my hands on one.
I’d get a Fenix 3 to upgrade from my FR610.
I’d definitely get the Tacx Vortex Smart: Living in the city center, I use my basic home trainer regularly and I just think it would be more fun if I could connect it to some fun apps!
Wahoo KICKR for my apartment so that I can ride before work
I would get a garmin forerunner 230 or 235. Also yoga stuff or shoes or socks.
I wanted the Garmin forerunner 235, but Santa doesn’t love me.
Garmin 920xt since I’ll be running my first Ironman in 2016
This is awesome! Thanks for putting it on! I would probably grab a Withings WS-50 scale. Happy New Year!
A new Garmin Edge 1000 to replace my trusty 810 which is showing signs of wear and abuse.
A muscle oxygen sensor (Moxy or BSX Insight gen2) to do repeatable testing
I’d put it toward the powertap p1 power meter. Thanks!
I’ve been prepping for an obsticles course run coming up this May. The last thing I need is an action camera. I was hoping for the Garmin Virb XE Cycle bundle. I currently have quite a few garmin products ( 235, cadence/speed sensors, index) which is why I want to stick in the garmin family. Thanks!!!!
Maybe a Fenix 3 or a 920XT. I don’t have a sports watch and would love one that does all the things! Thanks.
Garmin 235….because I really hate HRM straps and it looks like from your blog this would work well for me :)
A Tacx Vortex – because I certainly need more training.
I’d get a GoPro Hero Black to film my runs!
I would like to win the 4iiii PPM. Having two road bikes with PM’s allows me to track/measure power performance.
i would love to buy the fenix 3 as i have the older version and i trullyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy love that watch, its amazing
New Garmin Virb. Need to film my antics.
A Garmin Forerunner 235 to upgrade from my trusty Garmin Forerunner 10.
If I win, it will put a TACX neo within my budget.
Two bikes requires two power meters. 4iiii for me.
I’d get a Garmin 920XT or Edge 520
I would like to have new garmin forerunner 630. $500 would not cover the price, so I will pay the rest.
I’d get a Vortex Smart Trainer. I’m pumped about it, because then I could use Zwift in my garage. When I’m drenched in sweat at 5:30 in the morning, I think I would enjoy hanging out with other people’s avatars.
If I win, I can by my husband a TACX neo :D
I still really want a Fenix 3 to replace my forerunner 620 and vivosmart. Want to take advantage of the multi sport functions and the daily activity tracker. However still on the fence if I could get away with a new 230/235 or just go to a 630. Would be a tough problem to have winning $500.
A new bike computer that will sync up with my Di2 or maybe that BSX “monitor”….too many things that I want :)
If get a Garmin FR620 so I could train harder, faster, stronger. Or something to that effect.
I would lIke a new Garmin 920. so my lighting speed in the pool can be recorded and proved. Coach always says, “If Its not on your Garmin, It didn’t happen! Upload that data!”
I would apply this awesome prize to the Fenix 3… or if the rules allow, hold out for a Fenix 4 that I hope will hit the market on a few months.
I wish I could have a fenix 3 for setting custom workout more easly than on ambit 2.
A dual bike power meter. To improve my road bike training.
Powertap P1 for sure!
Wahoo Kickr to replace my old trainer or a power meter.
I want the Fenix 3 to update my old training computer!! Happy Holidays everyone.
New running watch! I love my Fenix 1, but it’s getting a little long in the tooth. So is probably get either the Fenix 3 or the newest in the garmin 600-series.
I think I would go for the 920xt and regift my 910xt to my wife.
A fenix 3 so that, I can connect to my phone and give Google exact location data as they track my every move.
I would like fenix 3; well i always wanted to buy it but because of limited budget could not get one so far and i am adamant to not buy anything below that. It would be nice to have the most complete workout monitor available in the market. But one day i surely will ;) . I like your work man you are Awesome!
Garmin Edge 1000 even though the battery life is not so great
Powertap P1 Pedals most definitely, the opportunity to train with power meters excites the heck out of me.
A new Garmin 520 GPS.
Power Meter for my Cyclocross bike. Not sure exactly which one, but $500 sure would be a nice start towards the research!
Fenix 3. Would love to take it skiing and hiking as it’s much more suited to it than my current watch!
I’d get a Garmin. Fenix 3 or FR920. I still use my phone for starve and have lost a couple rides recently.
I’d get the C1 power meter since it seems to match my training needs the best out of the different options and I don’t currently train with power. Happy New Year!
The new Moto 360 sport when it comes out if they carry it. Perfect watch to wear out during the day then be able to run with it and connect to my Bluetooth headphones.
Garmin Fenix 3, because it would be perfect for my trail runs
A Garmin Fenix 3 or 4 would be very nive to have :-)
Get a garmin 520 to replace my defect 500
I don’t know what I’d get honestly — do they sell wetsuits?? I’m sure I could figure it out!
I’d probably go with a power meter for the bike.
I actually really wanted a Garmin 520 but a) They are pricey and b) I tell myself I can’t seem to justify the price until I start hitting 100 miles+/week.
Garmin Fenix 3. Looks so much better than the 920xt.
Didn’t get a power meter and really wanted one.
I received a Fitbit Charge HR for Christmas and unfortunately it just wouldn’t do me a lot of good. I am hoping to sell it and pick up the Garmin FR 230 or 235. Still debating over the strap. I would also be able to pick up the Speed/Cadence combo sensor, how awesome is that?!?
Power meter for sure — probably a pioneer crank arm (ultegra) so I don’t have to worry about switching wheels.
Garmin 920
Santa i wish for a garmin fenix 3, a friend of mine has it and keeps telling me how much better it is than my current vivoactive, and i totally love it. But thats the thing with beautiful things they are never on specials ;)
Forerunner 920XT or a Fenix 3
Garmin Forerunner 630, to use in my Kinesiology classes. And to use to train for the Flying Pig Marathon!
The Garmin 920XT bundle in Red & white. Have the forerunner 220 strapped to my handlebars of bike on rides but never save the activity as it will ruin my running pb’s. Need an upgrade :D
Need a new trainer for riding in the doldrums of winter!
A power meter, haven’t decided which yet.
A Garmin Epix: I am an archaeologist and would love to have a map on my wrist while I survey for undiscovered sites in the jungle.
A smart trainer, to get me trough the winter ?
Would love the stages power meter to help me track my progress. Thanks Ray !
Any power meter. Gadgets make you faster.
I would get the fenix 3 for my hubby. He really wants to update his 310xt but without it breaking he can’t rationalize it.
I think I’d really love a garmin 920…the perfect upgrade for my 910
Garmin 920XT for my wife. She is still using the old 910 but doesn’t want to pay to upgrade.
I would get a new Giro Synthe helmet and a Garmin 520!
I’d buy a Fenix 3! Happy Holidays!
PowerTap G3 HED Belgium Wheels. From what I gather they should prove to be a sturdy, durable solution for my watt-based training.
Well, I’m torn between a Garmin 520 and a power meter of some type. I already have a Fenix2 watch for multisports events, but it is not so great for monitoring stuff while riding. However, I’d love to get a power meter on my bike as well. Decisions, decisions…
Garmin Fenix 3, because my Polar RS200 is finally dying.
I would like a Garmin Fenix3. Happy New Year!
Fenix 3 probably, or maybe put it towards a power meter for the bike.
I’d get a smart trainer if I won. My wife and I made an $80 spending limit, so a Wahoo Kickr was slightly out of the price range. :)
Tough call….Could really use a power meter for my cross bike as it sees more miles these days than all my other bikes, but I think I’d go for a new Edge 520. My Edge 800 has been good but I think its getting tired.
Fenix 3. I need it to give to my wife, so she stops taking mine.
I would get a Fenix 3, because I’m starting with triathlon and ‘need’ a new watch.
Time to replace my Garmin!
