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.

Zwifting unless weather allows for real reality riding. All followed by a nice IPA and Easter meal!
A long ride, an easy run, and lots of chocolate!
Training plans for the weekend: some trail running, some foam rolling, and a little cross training too. Also probably eating a whole bag of Cadbury Mini-Eggs. :)
Slowly recovering from a nasty bike fall two weeks ago, I’m going to be trying to hit the road again with a nice and easy 5km run. If all goes well, a spinning session on the trainer might be on the cards!
I’ll be standing on my feet at work for 12 hours. Then hopefully lots of sleep
Try to increase my long run to get ready for a half marathon in May

Kicked off today by smashing out 4 hot cross buns.
Tomorrow will be an easy 10 mile run fuelled entirely by watching lambs gambolling in the fields and little baby bunnies hopping alongside.

After stuffing loads of chocolate (schoggi! (swiss-german word for chocolate)) eggs down the throat for filling my glucose storages, my version of “the girl” and I will be going for an easy bike ride on Saturday, hopefully followed by an afternoon swim. Sunday will be the classical long run, again with my better half. Monday, then it goes back on the bike for a nice ride. The main source of energy will be the easter bunnies and chocolate eggs, as well as some delicious pizza tonite. Not giving away the mileage though, that’d be embarrassingly low in comparison to all of you super-sport guys.

Back to trainer, after a few days of flu.
