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.

A run? Maybe. A bike ride? Maybe. Roller coasters and junk food? Absolutely!
I’ve got a 5K and a 5 hour bike ride – and its my birthday on Sunday, which requires its own special training.
On Saturday I have a 16-mile run with the last 4mi at marathon pace. Then Sunday has always been my off day so nothing :-)

Have to put one last 20 miler in before tapering for Patriots Day.
Tomorrow ski, sunday light run, monday bunny race
Training? Most likely it will be from hiding plastic eggs and then chasing little ones around the yard to find said eggs, then chasing little ones around after eating the candy inside said eggs. Cross-training.
Two-hour run this weekend
I am just trying to walk a little each day and have some fun family time with my 2 kids and my in laws.

Having my niece visiting us with three kids, but hope to go for a bike ride anyway :)
Road bike on Saturday then trail running on Sunday (Trail des Tranchées, in Verdun – FR).

With that have a nice easter Ray !

I’m hosting my in-laws for the weekend…. I have to do as much early morning trainer riding as needed to burn off all the beer I have to drink to make it through the weekend.
I’m heading out to the inlaws in the middle of nowhere east texas today. Fortunately I have room for my kickr and bike in the truck so Saturday morning I will knock out 2.5 hours at various intensities followed by a short 5K run.
Squeeze in a 35-40 miler on Friday and hope to get in another 40 on Saturday.
Going run a 10K Race on Saturday – Hoping to PR then a long run 20m on sunday
Gonna try to wake up early Sunday and get on the trainer for a couple hours.
