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.

Power meter! Have used the polar chain tension power meter, and miss it since I moved over to garmin – even though Polar was not quite that accurate…
Garmin 520. I need an update to my old botranger and I’m thinking about a power meter definitely need that upgrade
I would get the Garmin 630 to use as my running watch.
A power meter for my road bike!
Definitely the Fenix 3. The outdoors readable display looks nice.
A Power2Max Power meter because I still kick it old school and train only with HR.
4iiii Precision power meter. Time for my MTB to have power already.
Or maybe a Wahoo KICKR or Tacx Neo.
Either a power meter (Watteam powerbeats if the reviews are good), 2xTomTom Spark Cardio + Music, or a Kickr.
A Forerunner 630, 235 or 230, too many options…
I’d go for a Garmin fr 920xt because my trusty 910xt is getting old and not so trusty anymore. So sad
Thanks a lot as usual and happy new year!
Either a new trainer (at least the first chunk of one) or maybe a new Garmin cycling computer since my 500 is falling apart a bit.
It would be kickass to get a Wahoo Kickr Snap, as DC Rainmaker is such a kickass reviewer, and Clevertraining is such a kickass vendor! You all rule it would be even more kickass if you pick me!
Fenix because it makes me drool!
I would get a garmin fenix3 to take advantage of the activity tracking that it has.
I would appreciate a Garmin Fenix 3 cause it’s the best ;)
I’d get a Garmin 520, an ANT+ dongle, and some other goodies to go with the indoor smart trainer I got as a gift.
I would probably get a GoPro or VIRB, as my wife keeps bugging me to get one. I’d spend whatever is left on something interesting that I don’t need but want.
I’d get a trainer for sure, because I don’t currently have one!
i’d get a power meter for my road bike.
Hmm. I guess I’d splurge on the Fenix 3 or at least the Forerunner 630. Would love to stay in the Polar family but Garmin really seems to be leading the way.
yes! a powermeter would be great :-)
I’d probably get a whole bunch of shoes/apparel, as I just got the Garmin 225 back in June!
If I do win i would probably want a garmin edge or a sub $500 trainer. Thank you for all your review and blog, Ray.
Polar v800 because of swim metrics
Garmin fenix 3 to replace my current polar rc3 gps that is falling apart (broken buttons)
Garmin 920xt or Powertap P1
Happy Holidays
Yes! FR 630 would be great!
Power meter. I have always wanted one. ?
A garmin edge 1000 would be great!
I’d probably pick up a couple of running shoes – two of mine are currently wearing out rather bad at the same time. And then I’d see how much I would have left of the $500…
A Garmin Forerunner 630 to try out the apps, etc.
A power meter – just not quite sure which one yet. Will obviously need check out your recommendations to help with that if I win! Happy Christmas!
I would like to upgrade my 910XT to the Fenix3, or maybe a power meter for the bike.
Bonjour,
Une montre Garmin fenix3 sapphire, parce-que c’est la plus belle !
++ Guy
Garmin Edge 520, because my old 810 keeps dropping out after 80-some kilometers.
Powermeter and some injury recovery items :)
Hmmmmm….. that’s a tough one! Maybe an Epix, in order to get maps for when I’m exploring new territories…
Happy Holidays to all!
4iiii powermeter for me
I’m but a simple cave man, and would be content with the Garmin 630 and HR monitor. Your Fenix 3 is complex and frightening with all of it’s functionality.
I would get a combo of different running products, because I’m a runner :)
The Fenix 3 would be a really nice upgrade to my current watch!
I would probably go with a Tacx Vortex Smart trainer
I’ve been toying with the idea of a 920XT, so I’d definitely put the $500 towards one! Thanks for running your giveaways!
man, I’d love a fenix 3 – to stop me getting lost on the trails (well, paths) nr my house –
Definitely going towards a power meter. Powertap P1? Quarq? Pioneer? If only there was a helpful website that would make this decision easier.
I’d probably go for a bunch of random and/or consumable goods. As sad as it is, I seem to be pretty stocked up on gear at the moment! I guess I got what I wanted? :)
garmin Fr 630 . I love it.
Must be time to upgrade my Edge 500 to 520
Wahoo ELEMNT, when it eventually gets released!
4iiii power meter, i’d love to start raining with power meter
The new Fenix 3 would be an excellent addition to my wrist while running and biking.
A smart trainer, so I can zwift
Pedal or crank based power meter to get a more focused training programme. Big trip to France and the mountains planned so need some inspiration!!
One of the new Garmin watches. Or maybe a kickr or a polar or…
I’d get a Garmin Forerunner 630 – my old 910xt has finally bitten the dust and I’m really only using something to track my running.
I would love to have a power meter so I can take my training to the next level!
Garmin Vector Pedels because it’s a need not a want.
a power meter, i think a 4iiii
235 garmin, the old 310xt is ready for an update
A Fitbit Surge because I am hoping to try and somewhat quantify my gym workouts.
Unless you have a better alternative for me Ray.
I would get a 4iii power meter, something I have wanted for a while. I want to get it to improve my training and with having a baby on the way this would help me be more efficient with workouts and so i can spend more time with my kid
I’d grab the Garmin 630 to upgrade my running game. It’s back to marathon training for me.
Likely a Garmin 235, because it looks like the best running watch out there right now
I’d get the FR235 because it’s the balls.
Helmet, shoes and pedals – all well past their best!
Fenix 3 bundle would be sweet to replace my vivoactive for upcoming triathlon race.
The garmin Fr 630 would be fine. Can´t affort it.
Wahoo Kickr!
I’d get a new Garmin 520.
i would either get a new trainer or the power meter. I would like to get the power meter to kick my cycling game up a bit, but I would definitely be torn toward the new kick trainer.
Probably go with a 4iiii pm!
Garmin Fenix to help with my pacing duties for Western States 2016.
I’d like a Garmin 620 with heart rate strap!!
I would buy a trainer to get me through these next 4 months of cold! …or maybe a power meter to have even more to look forward to when I get back outside.
I’d get a Garmin 920. I currently have a VivoActive, but since I plan to start doing triathlons next year, a 920 will be much better suited. Switching activities during duathlons was tough enough!
Garmin Virb XE
Overlay on gopro is troublesome, with garmin virb i can make cooler videos!
I hoped for power pedals.
garmin vector
I’d have to grab some Vector 2S to go with my full Vectors on the other bike.
power meter to get those gains!!
I’d get a Fenix 3. Been looking at it for a while but just didn’t pull the trigger.
I would love a garmin edge 520, I’m feeling optimistic that it will be a short winter and I’ll be back out on the roads, (not) getting lost!
Would like a Salomon skin pro 14+3 hydration vest & a rose gold Fenix 3 for her in charge.
A new running watch for my girlfriend !
I’d get a new helmet and a Garmin Edge 520 to replace those damaage in my season ending crash. Looking forward to next spring!
Nothing actually..was.hoping for further fenix 3
I’d love a new forerunner 630 please :-)
I’d get a smart trainer for use with Zwift, to make the decision to climb on the bike in the pain cave instead of going skiing, just a tad bit easier.
Cheers!
i’m a bit torn between the garmin 520 and a 4iiii precision…
I’d like a Fenix 3 – just because.
Garmin 920XT for getting back into tri-season in the spring!
I would buy the Tacx NEO Smart trainer because I need a trainer, and the $500 discount would make getting a great product much more affordable! Thanks, Ray and Clever Training. Happy New Year to all!
maybe time to upgrade my garmin 910 to a 920
Forerunner 630 – Just because I want to give it a try…
Fenix 3
I’d love the Garmin fr235 for it’s optical heart rate monitor. I bought one for my wife earlier and it is fantastic.
Power meter? Trainer? Bike computer? I’m not sure yet. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Pretty happy with my 920xt so I don’t see any real need for a new GPS watch.
I’d replace my trusty and reliable Garmin 705 with something because I don’t think any of the newer cycling computers are really worth the money. If I could get one for free I’d do that!
I’d get the Garmin HRM Swim, HRM Tri and some other stuff because I feel like my PE when swimming is messed up and HRM while swimming would help a lot.
garmin edge 520 pls
