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, absolutely!
A sweet bike trainer for those bad days
I’d love to have the new Wahoo Fitness KICKR 11-spd indoor trainer.
Thanks!
I would buy loads of running socks as you quite simply cannot have enough.
Also, my Wife is fed up of me keeping smelly socks around the house so I can wear them a second time, to reduce washing loads.
Fenix 3 for hiking and trail running!
Kickr desk!
I would purchase a trainer for my road bike, to help continue to lose weight. So far I’ve lost 70 lbs! :)
a Garmin FR235, to compare with my polar m400, and see if gps accuracy is better, and more suitable as a day to day watch!
Garmin 920xt for the year of triathlons
I’d get a trainer, as due to a move next year I might have to switch from running to biking as my main training aspect.
Id get a new garmin 520 to be cool like my friends :)
I would love to win the Fenix 3 for my husband. He’s been wanting it for a long time and didn’t get anything for Christmas! This would mean so much to him!!
I would most definitely go for the 920XT since I’m a bit tired of my Fenix 2.
Fenix 3!
I’d get the Garmin Fenix3 to replace my TomTom multisport. The TomTom hasn’t been reliable since the first few months I had it. I’ve even got them to replace it once. I’d buy a Fenix but can’t justify the expense while saving for my wedding.
Garmin 920XT
It will last thru a 24 hr race w/o needing to be recharged via Power Monkey.
I’d probably get the fitbit charge hr
Garmin 630 , cos it plays music!!
Power Meter still trying to decide which one. everyone needs more data…
I would go for a Garmin 520 or Wahoo Elmnt. Time to upgrade the bike computer!
For sure a power meter!
Garmin forerruner 630
The Garmin Fenix 3 to start my new year’s resolution of beginning trail running and mountain biking.
A new watch with navigation mode, like the Epix.
A power meter would be great. I’d love one to up my training this year!
To solve all my bike travel woes… a Kuat NV
New watch
Fenix 3, because i started swimming in open water this year.
Needed a power meter but Santa just doesn’t understand it seems.
Dear Santa,
a Garmin FR630 please…
I’d get a Garmin 630 or 235.
Ohhh, Merry Xmas DC!
$500 would be a nice credit towards finally picking up PowerTap P1 pedals that basically received your implied creme de la creme nomination in the yearly power meter roundup.
I need to get a Garmin Edge 810 to replace the Edge 800 that just went belly-up last month. Could really use the help since I went and blew my Christmas cash on other stuff…
Garmin Edge 520 because I’m in desperate need of a bike computer!
Really would have needed a Fenix3 or something recent from Garmin to see how green the grass is behind my current Polar fence.
Stages Power meter, which I would like to use to prepare for my first Half Distance
A Virb XE Cycle Bundle. I love my Virb Basic, but it’s a pain not being able to edit the videos and metrics directly on my iPad. The tech integration of the Virb XE is just what I’m after.
I run 3 times a week and when i want to get better results i have to train whit a hrm. My old hrm is one that i have to wear underneath my bra, and i hate that. So i really want the Garmin Forerunner 235 GPS Running watch! Please…:-)
For me it would have a KICKR trainer. Been after one of those for some time :)
I’d get a Quarq Riken, cause you can never have too many power meters!
I’ll get à forerunner 630, just for fun
garmin vivosmart HR + garmin wifi scale because I need some new toys to help keep me motivated after the holiday season.
Also a Scosche RHYTHM plus Heart Rate Monitor Armband to use with current running watch.
I’d buy a Wahoo Kickr! Minnesota winters are long, dark, and cold.
I’d have a Garmin 630 just because I can’t afford myself a new nice wrist GPS device, and my old FR10 barely manages to record 3hrs with its almost gone battery
I would like the Garmin forerunner 235. Thank you, and good luck to me.
I want a wahoo kickr please.
Garmin 25 or 235 to help lose toe Christmas pounds!
I would get a Garmin Edge 1000 for the long rides. I need the maps and phone features.
I would get a TomTom Spark Music + Cardio and a pair of nice running earbuds. I have always tried to keep myself active and now that Im training more frequently I need an easier system. Its time to turn my life around and take control of my health!
I’d probably go a power meter and give to a mate. If there’s anything left over I’d go some socks.
I’ll go for the powertap P1 power pedals!!!
Want them bad
A Sunto Traverse for me!
Well after 4500+ entries the odds are starting to stack up. I’d likely go for the 4iiii power meter.
I’m not sure yet. Maybe I’ll wait for the 4iiii that’s placed on the right side…
Garmin Edge 520, I see it very comfortable for my riding starting next spring. Garmin did good job.
I’d get one of the new Forerunners with the optical sensor,though I have yet to decide which.
I would get the Garmin Varia radar. I need the added peace of mind while riding along the narrow roads around here.
Definitely Garmin Fenix 3, this watch suits all my needs.
Power meter. Want to improve my training using power zones for my next triathlon
I would probably go for an Edge bike computer, maybe the 520, just because I have thought about buying it for a while now but never did.
Garmin Varia would be my choice
Hi ! I’d like a BSXinsight device because as a doctor I’m interested in NIRS tech
Thx
Some kind of power meter as I don’t have one yet.
Garmin 920xt
For my first triathlon
Fenix 3, love it as train watch and everyday watch

Garmin 920 Xt for my son :)
Powermeter for my son
Felix 3 for my brother !!!!!
Powermeter for my brother !!!
Garmin 920XT for me. Tri sport, Bluetooth connectivity, and compatibility with all the Garmin accessories. Can’t beat it!
BSX Gen2 Insight
Power Tap P1, because I need to start measuring my watts!!!
I want a Yahoo Kickr, who the heck would not?
Would love a new trainer. Life is fixing to get a whole lot more hectic so i’m currently trying to figure out how to get some riding in when work will basically monopolize nearly every moment of daylight. Zwift greatly interests me as a big video game guy and I think having a smart trainer would help convince me to get some trainer time in during the week.
Garmin fr 630. Then i could give my fr 620 to someone who loves to run but does not have the money to buy an excellent running watch
I’d get a garmin 235, can’t wait to ditch the heart rate strap!!
I would get a 520 It ‘ll be my first gps bike computer and can’t wait for biking season (in canada)
I’d go for the 920xt.. Best in the category..
I’d get the Garmin 920XT because I like to tri, and after 10 years with Polar I think that it’s time for a change!
I’d totally snag a Forerunner 235!
I would purchase whatever my running pal and team mate Winnie needs. Probably the Garmin 630. She would like a new watch and I would love to gift her one
I’d go for the Pioneer Shimano Ultegra 6800 Crankset Power Meter to be able to swap out chainrings from compact to full size- nice.
I’d get a Go Pro Hero 4 Silver or a Garmin Virb XE to record my bike trips around Belgium :-)
I would get the fenix3 so I could have a fitness watch that I could also wear to work.
Garmin Fenix 3: everything I need in one watch: cycling gps, running watch , ant+, etc etc
Safe swimmer bouy and go Pro to capture my open water swims at Luckys Lake!
I think I’d go with a Forerunner 630 or possibly follow the masses with a Fenix 3, 610 is a fine watch but who wouldn’t want all those extra bells and whistles…
A new bike trainer to replace my old one.
I would like a fenix 3 to give to my son because I cannot afford to buy one.
I would probably go for the Garmin 630 HRM. My old friend, late G305, has past away so I really need a new run mate.
Hmm. Good question. Probably something(s) valued at up to $500 since that is what the prize will allow. I will use whatever I buy for training, I suppose.
I wouldn’t mind getting the scosche hr band and/or a go pro.
I would go for Garmin 630, perfect upgrade for my 2 year old 620.
Would love a 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter! Was on track for the race of my life at Roth this year and had a massive asthma attack 80 miles in on the bike that totally shut me down. Been in the “blah’s” since then, and could use a new toy!
I’d get the Fenix 3 because it’s shiny and new!
GoPro or another action camera. Why – I have wanted one for a while to record while I run/race, but it’s a bit cost-prohibitive for a non-essential.
