First off, no, I’m not giving away the Easter Bunny. That’d involve going to a nearby shopping mall and somehow kidnapping the poor guy as he gets photos taken with small children. And I’m pretty sure that’d be awkward for everyone involved.
Instead, I’ll be like an Easter Bunny – and some lucky duck (or bunny as it may be) will get their gadget wishes fulfilled. No searching for semi-rotten poorly water-colored eggs required.
The winner will get a $600 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 HR, to a Fitbit Blaze, a pair of Hawaiian themed underwear (yes, actually) to the WatTeam Power Meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat.
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what your training plans are for the weekend ahead – with or without the bunny. Note that eating chocolate eggs is totally valid nutrition.
The reason you need a short description of ‘what’ is that if you just put a simple one word answer (i.e.5k), 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 Monday, March 28th, 2016 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.

An hour of power on the water.
Threadmill run, swim
Tri bike workout on Sun w/ a brick run
oh, and easter dinner :)
Im injured. So I will rest for the weekend, will start running again on monday.
This weekend is to be my first ever race! Probably going to be incredibly painful as it’s a Crit. and I’m by no means a sprinter! Should be good fun and if I get dropped as I suspect I will, it’ll make for a perfect training session ready for a summer of racing!
Just received a dump of snow which will take a few days to melt, so it is a couple of long bikes on the trainer. Can’t forget about the last hockey game of the season- spring/summer is almost here!

Final 23 mile run in preparation for the Boston Marathon!
My weekend plans for training involve working on endurance and climbing. I am going with a group of guys and girls (~6-8) and riding an 85 mile (137 km) route up Fort Mountain in Chatsworth, Georgia and Burnt Mountain around Ellijay, Georgia. I believe it will be about 6,000 feet of elevation.

This is to prepare for the Italian Road Bike Festival (link to cartecaybikes.com) on April 2nd. It is an epic ride of 104 miles and 10,853 feet of elevation.
I did this ride last year and it was a great time, although it completely wore me out.
link to strava.com
My goal this year is to finish in 6 hours and 15 minutes!
So there is my training plan and fingers crossed, I win!
plan on a 70k ride on saturday
Didn’t run at all last weekend so hopefully 2 runs, 12 miles Saturday and 8 miles Sunday.
I plan to ride at least 60km on Saturday on my single speed because my road bike is still mounted on the trainer. Don’t worry though, the road bike will get some Zwift love on Sunday.
Next week if weather let me do it I will ride some 350-400km with 5000m of ascension. With weather fail to me I will ride maybe a 150km on rollers.
Working both days……no bueno
My goal will be to finally get three rides in (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday) to kick off my cycling year. At the very least, two of those days. Now if only it’d stop being so windy.
Will be biking to the Cherry Blossoms in DC this weekend.
