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’d like to end my decision paralysis and figure out whether to get the Fenix3, the 920XT, the 630, or the 235!
Garmin 920 XT, it would seem loads of people in the club got one for Christmas and now I am going to look all out of place with my lowly 910
Power meter would be cool addon to the BIKE.
I’d probably get a Yeti cooler. Need to keep my beer cold for after my training.
I would like a power meter, but haven’t decided which one.
Probably the 235. My M400 is getting a little beat up
I think my 1st post didn’t come through, I’m not trying to game the system. Fenix 3! Fenix 3!
I picked out about 4 or 5 things i would like from clevertraining.com. New garmin,weight scale,seat cover, etc
I’m still limping along with a Garmin FR 405, and would really like to upgrade to an FR 230.
I’d probably go with the VIRB camera to go along with my new Fenix 3!
I would get either the Garmin 230 or 235, do I really need the heart rate?
Garmin 235 please
I’d love to get a Garmin Edge 1000 to use mountain biking!
I would choose Garmin 920Xt
I’d go for the Fitbit Aria scale. Mainly because I am too fat.
Garmin 235 to help with training for my first half and full marathon (May and Oct 2016).
I didn’t get a new Garmin running watch. Still waiting on your final verdict on their new optical HR sensors before I decide which to buy.
It’d be a toss up between a new trainer or a power meter for the bike.
I’d get the Fenix3. I want to upgrade my tri watch, but I also like the activity tracking features. I could get the 920xt, but the Fenix3 looks like a watch I can wear in professional settings.
A Garmin 920t to replace my aging and sometimes tempramental Forerunner 305.
I’d go with a Powertap power meter. I’ve been looking to take the plunge into power, and this would give me the financial ability to do it responsibly.
I’d go for a Garmin Fenix 3.
I’d get a Garmin Edge 1000.
I need something with maps, so I can get lost, and explore on my own, being I have tired of riding with groups.
BSX Gen2 Insight, if you please.
Garmin 520 to upgrade the old one!
Garmin Fenix 3. No changes. It’s definitely what I want.
I was really hoping for the Garmin Vivoactive watch. looks pretty nice!
As a recent BMT and cancer survivor my goal in 2016 is to revitalize my body with swimming, cycling, running, and track my sleep, steps, and all metrics humanly possible with the FENIX 3
$500 worth of socks sounds pretty good.
I would get a Garmin Fenix 3 to replace my Fenix 2.
A garmin 520 and maybe a swim hrm belt as well. I’d like to get better data from my swimming.
Dreaming of a set of powertap pedals. I need to know the force :)
I want a new Garmin forerunner, my FR is 4yo now and it’s really time to get a new one!
I’d get a powermeter to improve my training session!!
Any of those items would be great!
The Fenix3, My forerunner 410 is shot and I need to get a new tracker soon.
A wahoo kickr!!!
4iiii power meter to make my gravel riding/training more effective/efficient.
I will get new power2max for my bike!
I would get a Garmin 520 for myself and a 910xt watch for my friend
should’ve listened to Ray and got a dual leg power meter. Lets fix that mistake ;)
Aerus Biospeed Lightweight Bike Travel Case, racecations!
a tacx trainer, or perhaps a stages power meter, or perhaps even both, I was good this year!
I’d get a tom tom spark for my son or a Garmin 235 for myself, because I currently use my garmin 305 (which works great) and my son needs something to use while at college
I would go for the FR630 as I like to have an update to my FR910 which is still great but no regular watch.
I would buy the Powertap P1 Power Pedals. 500 credit would put it in my price range. Thanks for the opportunity.
Matt
I would like to get GoPro Hero 4 Black camera , to capture the great moments I have when I am taking sports and share those moments with my friend and the world.
A new Garmin watch, as my FR610 strap keeps breaking off.
A new running watch (Tomtom Spark or Fenix 3) for sure, sadly the days of my trusty old MOTOACTV are numbered.
I would probably buy a new garmin. My 310xt is still going strong, but am worried it might die at some point and I rely pretty heavily on it.
The Garmin Fenix3 or 325 are looking pretty sweet as a late stocking stuffer. Or maybe a power meter is in my future
4iiii power meter. Having some issues with my Quarq and looking to give a new PM a try.
If it can be put toward something more then probably quarq riken AL, otherwise some C1 chainrings
Smart turbo trainer or money toward a dual sided PM.
I’d get a Garmin Edge 520 because my 500 is showing its age, particularly when I use the “courses” feature to do routing.
i’d like the garmin fenix 3 to switch from my suunto ambit 2S
Garmin 520. Use it for wasatch bike riding!
Garmin Edge 520. Tired of using cell phone apps or my garmin watch to track distance on my road bike.
Activity trackers for the family and a wireless scale! Thanks Ray!
Would love a trainer for trainer season…since the cold and rain/snow are around the corner:(
I’m getting a new helmet because the old one is old
The Fenix3 with swim hrm as set if available
Fenix3 as an upgrade to my FR15
Garmin 520, interested in the Strava integration.
I really need a Fenix to replace Alex’s that I need to give back.
FR 230 / 235 for my fiancee :)
It’s time for a power meter to support my tri training.
I would go for a dual leg power meter
I was hoping to get a Garmin Fenix 3 gray/black…I have an edge, but really wanted something to round out for other activities like hiking etc.
Thanks!
Probably the Fenix 3. Maybe towards a power meter.
I would love to upgrade my worn out 910xt to a brand new 920xt, still hoping to advance to some basic triathlon at some point in the future ;)
I might get myself some new wheels… or maybe a Scosche… or maybe dozens of new tubes?
I would get a 4iii’s power meter. That way I can shore up my cycling training schedule and make some measurable gains.
Definitely getting a 4iiii power meter or a Garmin 520! WooHoo.
Power2Max Meter. Wouldn’t it be nice?
A 4iiii power meter. Seems to be a thread here, don’t it. Want to build up a frankenbike for Mt. Washington and the BUMP series. Need a power meter for the single chain ring bike.
I would get the 4iiii precision power meter because have 2 bikes with DA cranks, and had been hoping to get one of these so that I can move the crank arm between them.
I’d like to buy the new Suunto Traverse to replace my old Ambit.
Garmin Fenix3 to support my ultra running needs!
I would take a combo of BSXinsight 2.0 Lactate Threshold Sensor Multisport Edition and Scosche RHYTHM+ :)
One of the new Garmin watches. My 910 needs a refresh
Powertap C1 Chainrings. That way I can use my superlight cranks, pedals and wheels without compromise.
Garmin Edge 520 . x2, because I have 2 bikes.
I would get the Garmin Forerunner 235 to help me get back in shape, since recovering from back surgery.
The new Forerunner 630. Great evolution for a heavy used 620.
It will be an Edge 520 for me.
My dream is the Fenix 3 Sapphire!!!!
I am thinking of the Garmin Forerunner 630 because although it is a bit pricey it has a lot of features I like. It is light weight, has a great battery life and is better looking than the less expensive alternatives. I want something decent looking because I will be wearing it a lot of the time for daily activity tracking. I think the touchscreen will be helpful for swiping phone notifications. I might even find the advanced running dynamics to be helpful, although that is not the main selling point of this device for me. I’ve been very successful lately in improving my fitness with running and I think having this device would help motivate me further.
I would order a Power Tap wheelset because I have no power measuring devices yet.
The 4iiii power meter or Edge 520. I wanted one of those for sure but didn’t get one.. :)
The 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter (or another DCR-approved alternative)
I would really like a garmin 520 and a fenix strap
I would get a Garmin 520!
4iiii as I would like to try power out on my road bike
Please make me choose between an Edge 520 or finally getting a power meter
A dual-sided power meter like the Power Tap P1 Pedals. I’ve had some injuries on my lower legs over the past few years that make me wonder if I’ve developed some compensatory movement patterns that have me skewed uncomfortably towards my healthier leg.
go for a new Fenix 3
I’d go for the Garmin Forerunner 920XT. Because i’d like to be able to record my Ironman 70.3 race in Remich next season in full.
Garmin Epix not to get lost on next hike :-)
Garmin Fenix 3, I would like try a very good product,
Garmin Vector 2 – I’d like to start in the power meters for bicycling with a pedal power meter I could use for my different bikes and also with my Daum in the basement.
