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.

Garmin Fenix 3. Because it’s time for an upgrade.
I would definetly buy a powermeter. Stages or 4iii
Fenix 3 for my husband
Definitely pimp out the pain cave with a much needed trainer upgrade to most likely a Wahoo Kickr.
I would get the 4iiii precision power meter
I would get a Garmin 235 for my wife. We had some unexpected medical bills this year and decided to only spend money on our children, not each other. This is what I wanted to give her.
Hmmm… Possibly a new watch, but probably a power meter. Needs more thought, really…
the Garmin Forerunner 630 Touchscreen. Because who doesn’t want to have a new gadget to try for 2016.
I’d get the 920XT Tri-Bundle. As a new triathlete (DC Tri NTP) in 2015, I’ve been lusting after an upgrade from my trusty running-centric 405CX. HIM is in my future and I need to step up!
PowerTap P1 pedals. I’m looking for a great power meter that I can use on multiple bikes.
Fenix 3.
I am training for my first 100K trail race and my FR305’s battery is dying and can’t keep up with the long training runs.
Garmin Fenix 3, because training for first half-iron distance tri.
$500 on CT That’d get approximately one leg of power measurement, depending on what the current hotness is.
Or a high-end GoPro..
So many options!
If I were lucky enough to win the prize I would purchase a new Fenix 3 so I can stop drooling over it.
I’d get a Fenix 3 because it seems to be the best combination of smart watch and activity recorder with so many cool features.
I would go for a power meter if my name were pulled out of the hat. My cycling level really doesn’t warrant one, but I think it would be fun to have one! Happy holidays!
I love to have a 4iiii dual side power meter to replace my existing left side only power meter so I can get my true power due to my left right inconsistent.
I’d get a Wahoo Kickr or possibly one of the Tacx trainers
I crashed and snapped my frame a few days before, so I didn’t get to ride my usual Xmas day ride, so in a way, I didn’t get what I want for Christmas!
A Garmin Edge 520 because I don’t have a bike computer yet and eventually I’d like to use a power meter for training.
I’ll probably get a Recon Jet – to enable me to run or cycle without taking my eyes of the road.
I’d put it towards a Tacx Neo trainer.
I would go for a new trainer.
Greeting from Bilbao
Well Ray, you’re the best Santa alternative!
My thoughts on Fenix 3 because it would probably be a fine update to my Foretrex 401 :+)
Thanks and happy 2015-ending.
Uh didn’t quite receive any presents this Christmas haha. That’s fine though, it’s not really a thing where I come from. But I could really use some help getting myself a power meter :)
I would love to buy the Garmin Fenix3 or Forerunner. I am getting into running longer races, and also considering training for a triathlon. A new fitness watch would help me achieve these goals.
I think an activity tracker is in my future. My wife is loving the one I just got for her.
I would get the Fenix 3 for my upcoming marathon in Antarctica
I’d get the Garmin FR 630, to improve my runs and for the daily tracking.
I’d get an Edge 520, because you can never too many bike computers!
The 920xt with HRM. Need an upgrade ?
I would love a new 920xt for increased accuracy and additional features over my aging 310xt
Vivofit and some new socks.
Garmin235 for me please
A nice shiny new turbo trainer :~) prob a Wahoo of some variety
I’d get the Tacx Vortex Smart trainer because it’d make sure I’m working as hard as I should be on Trainerroad and The Sufferfest through the dark nights of winter in the northern hemisphere. It’s an FE-C future for me!
The Garmin 235. I’m interested in trying the wrist based HRM.
4iiii would be great to have! Or any powermeter for that matter.
Nice giveaway!
I’d probably get the Fenix 3, Suunto Traverse or some other watch to help me navigate the great outdoors :-)
A Fenix 3 would be perfekt.
I need a new Outdoor Watch!
a bluetooth power meter for my bike, simply because I don’t have one. But I know I won’t be the lucky one.
I’ll get a Powertap C1.
Why? Because it’s good value for money and I need a PM for my TT bike and this will feet the standard crankset I have on there.
I would use the money to invest in a cycling power meter.
im gonna win the garmin fenix 3 – because you want to give it to me – what better reason is there- so go ahead and give it this way.
A new gps running watch with optical hr sensor… Garmin 325 possibly?
I’d get a Garmin 235 for my sister who’s running her first half marathon in June and i’d use the remainder of the coupon towards a pair of jaybird X2s to replace my iPhone’s failing headphones.
I would get the Fenix 3, because I want it not because I need it.
Scosche rhythm+, garmin 235 or 630, socks, anything would be awesome. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would get a fenix 3 because it is a cool watch
I just got a 2015 QR PRsix and Coach Alan said I need to upgrade my (very) old 10 speed power tap 10 speed for Power2Max Type S Power Meter that you so wonderfully reviewed.
Cheers!!
-John
I’d go for the new Garmin Fenix 3 as it’s the Dogs B of a watch – just what a fat boy englishman needs to track his swimming, running and walking :-)
I’m sure I’ll find something interesting…. ;) that would not be an issue.
The garmin varia back radar + front light, cause “safety first”
wahoo kickr pls
Honestly I’m missing my heart rate strap now that I got a Vivosmart HR, I think for that reason I would be up for getting a Forerunner 235 for those weighted workouts that tend to throw the Vivosmart HR off.
Powertap P1 pedals to transfer among bikes
Garmin Fenix 3, make sure I don’t get lost on next year’s Ultras!
Another bike!
Definitely a Garmin 235. I love the scosche HRM, but would love to have a watch with the integral HRM
Tacx Neo Smart. I’d love to give Zwift a try on a real trainer :)
Withings WS-50, so I can keep track off and start working of the pounds I’ve gained over the holidays
Hoping to get a Polar V800. Just got a V650 for X-Mas, and want to upgrade out of my RC3!
I’d probably get a Garmin 520. I think I’m ready to upgrade to a real cycling computer.
I would likely get a smart trainer. Having moved to the midwest this year and now experiencing real winter, the value of a smart trainer is very high. 5-10 inches of snow hitting us in the next 24 hours! What have I gotten myself into!!!!
A 4iii power meter, so I can spend even more time geeking out over training data and even less time doing the things I should be doing (working, housework…).
FR630…
K-Edge bike mounts for my GoPro
I would LOVE a garmin fenix 3!
Kickr or Neo. Choices, choices……!
Fenix 3. Coming from a run only background (and already having a run watch), I would love to have a triathlon watch to track all three sports. Happy New Year’s!!
A Forerunner 235, My 305 is about done for at this point…
It would be a close call between fr630 ans fenix 3. I guess I will answer if I win.
I had to get the Garmin forerunner 630. Love the new features especially the new HRM .
Fenix 3 for hiking, trail running, and a triathlon or two tossed in there.
i want so hard a Fenix 3, need a new hrm/gps watch. state of the art watch for state of the art running
Replace my 310xt with either a Fenix 3 or 920 watch. Also considering a power meter
I would’ve loved to have gotten a new trainer.
Garmin edge 520. I don’t have a bike computer yet, and that looks awesome!
Powertap G3 MTB 142mm Disc Hub for my MTB!!
I don’t get how Santa could have forgotten the Zipp NSW 808’s.
I would like to get a new indoor trainer.
I’d love to get a forerunner 235 for my girlfriend, she could use the upgrade :)
BSX so that I can geek out to more data ;)
Another trainer, so i don’t have to wait for my wife to finish with it.
I’d get an new Edge for my new bike – woohoo! (Not Wahoo)
A wahoo kickr to help me through the remainder of the winter!
I know id go for the garmin varia lights and radar! The radar would be great for the remote roads i tend to ride on!
4iii Power Meter for me! I could always use another meter!
A spider based powermeter for my s-works shiv. because i want it
I’d like the Garmin 235. I’m really focusing on running right now. Would love a dedicated watch with built in HR instead of the triathlon watches I have.
Either the fenix 3 or 920XT. Need a new multisport watch. Can’t decide yet which I’d want….tough choice!
Either a bike bag (travel) or bike maintenance stand – AND HRM Tri :-)
I would love to get the new Forerunner 235 because of the wrist based heart monitoring!!!
power2max power meter for my new race bike, looking forward to starting my first road race season with it.
Powertap pedals to support my training on turbo
Without a doubt I would use the credit to get the Fenix3.
4iii power meter sounds great
thanks
I would like to purchase a power meter because power is awesome!
Garmin Edge 100. So I can know where I’m going in life!
A power meter. I’ve never trained with power before, so it would be great to try it out.
