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.

Planning on going for the first outdoor ride this weekend – though the weather forecast is getting worse and worse :(.
Coming out of injury that kept me off the bike for a month. I will do 3hr rides to try to build up slowly.
got to work on saturday but hope to get in some hill repeats on sunday. Easter Monday back to work but with a 40k cycle commute :)
Run, cycle, ski – a tri of sorts!
Due to a back injury, my training will be limited to 45 min walks.
I will use my fenix3 to check my Left/Right balance as a dashboard that the walk is balanced
Enjoy Easter
Gerard
here we go
today 2h with 5×4′ @ RP (cycling)
Sat 1h with 10x400m (running)
Sun 4h with 2×20′ Sweetspot and then BRIC for 15kms running
Lots of turbo training and maybe a steady run (its supposed to be a recovery week)
My goal for this weekend is one last 120k training ride in the hilly areas of the netherlands, to be ready for the Ronde van Vlaanderen Cyclo next weekend.
a 30k trailrun next saturday
Running the full length of the biggest nature parc in the Netherlands on Friday. Sunday an easy run in the dunes!
Depends on the weather here in Paris, but I plan to ride at least 2-3h, a bit of run .. that’s all.

Plan is for a hilly 10k trail run for Good Friday
Then 30-40 miles MTB ride over the South Downs on Saturday, route in mind should be 3000ft plus of climbing on flint & chalk paths that get slippery in the wet and have a tendancy to slash tyres. Experience tells me that a spare tyre and tube will be required in back pack.
Easter Sunday looks like I will be windsurfing as F7 SW is forecast. High tide middle of the day, so may get a 5k warm up run in first.
Easter Monday should be a repeat of Sunday.
Then back to work Tuesday for a rest.
Planning on a easy climb on some peaks and an interval training on Monday. Sunday is devoted to chocolate eating
4 days of riding due to the public holidays in Aus
My goal is long-term endurance thesis writing

Lift one day, ride the next. Lather, rinse, and repeat.

Easy run early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. I`m going to travel on Easter Monday so have not decided about that.

Long 200km ride, and regeneration
Doing a 15km run along the seaside in Tallinn, Estonia.
Running trail & fell under the misplaced assumption that it’s an easter egg hunt…
After 8-9 days with a calf injury I want to go out and ride the bike at least 3 out of the following 4 days, trying to get to the point where I was before the injury.
12K run this morning and I’m procrastinating on the sofa. 14K tomorrow, but I may go for an half marathon instead. Swimming on Sunday and for swimming I mean two laps :p
This will be a 3 days week-end full of cross-country ski :-)
My plan is to get my bike ready for riding outside and, depending on the rain, take it for a 40 km ride.
20 mile indoor ride on Saturday with short transition run, followed by 12 mile run on Sunday.
A gentle jog on Saturday in preparation for a flight to Palma, Mallorca on Sunday and then a ” go explore and find the best bakery” in shorts, t-shirt and sunnies that afternoon. Bliss :)
Rough week behind, maybe I’ll just rest.
Going for a short recovery run
I’m training for the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders)cyclo. So I’ll have to squeeze in a three hour ride somewhere this Sunday.
MTB today. Running in the woods of Brandenbburg on the rest of the weekend
I’m gearing up for my first warm weather training camp in Mallorca so a long run and a bike brick is on the cards for this weekend – the blue skies and cool but not freezing weather is the perfect invitation to get outside more again!
I’ll be running with the rest of my family in an Easter themed 5k on Saturday.
100k ride on Saturday, if it won’t rain- testing new wheelsets
three days of making hours on the bike. Hopefully in good weather. Thinking of the loss of our super soccer player johan Cruijff
I will be running easy 10k with my wife Saturday morning. Easter Sunday will be work at church…
I’m going to Dutch hills in Limburg for a long tour-ride, mostly endurance but with a few steep hills in between.
Running, lots (for me) of running. …at least 15 miles.
I am planning some mountain biking this weekend.
Eating chocolate. Swimming followed by a bike ride for Saturday morning. Eating chocolate. Long ride on Sunday. And … Eating chocolate ;)
Due to my wife’s work I will be on my new Elite Qubo Digital Smart B+ Saterday evening and getting familiar with it. Monday I will do a half marathon (weather forecast: rain rain rain and 6 Bft wind, #loveit)
Try to fit in a couple of sessions on the trainer and avoid the busy holiday traffic on the road.
After a week of flu trying to get on track again. Doesnt look good though. Heavy snowfalls outside and way too much sweets the kids never manage to eat alone…
I recently discovered that my running form is very very bad (thanks race finish videos), so I’m aiming for a couple of easy runs, focusing on not flailing my arms quite as much.
Bike (90km) this saturday morning to avoid the rain the other days.
It is Orienteering easter this year, running in the forrest with map is perfect training choice before hard MTBO season.
Since we’ve officially moved into spring it’s to ride instead of run again! I’m planning to get out and ride 3 times – and hit the 100km mark at least once in those rides. Also perfect for digesting all the chocolate and other Easter-food!
Going for 40km MTB ride and 15k run.
I’m in hawaii for a wedding…but am going to run each day looking at strava for good 5-8 mile runs!
Getting back into it, start some base training, Fri 1hr, sat 2hrs, sun 2hrs, mon recovery (lots of chocolate!)
Lap swimming (mostly drills), and a long bike ride Saturday (in the rain probably), and a short easy aerobic run and strength training (Kettlebell clean and press, front squats, and 100 heavy swings)
Day off today, it is Friday after all :-)
7 mile run this morning (long for me). Then I’m off to a wedding in Harrogate so no training on Saturday (unless lying in bed with a HR over 100 due to dehydration and alcohol poisoning counts). Sunday it’ll be a swim and a weights session.
I have been fighting injuries in my left foot for 5 months now and things aren’t really better, so it will be another weekend with lots of time in the gym and and maybe the pool and no running. :(
I will try to fit in two Zwift sessions on the trainer. Still cold outside in Sweden…
After I got a wisdom tooth removed, I can finally go for a run on the Saturday. On Sunday, there’s a cycling ride planned, since the weather is getting better (will be 17°C) and I guess the spring will finally begin here. Need to get easy on the food though.
It’ll just be a couple of runs. 25 to 35 km in total.
Gonna go for a ride, probably, since my family is all elsewhere. May get my girlfriend to take some footage of me while riding.
Easter egg hunt with kids in local country park. May also break turbo habit (damn zwift) and actually ride outside.
