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.

Going to run my last long run on Sunday, before my first Marathon.
I am gunning for my first training century of the season on Easter! Yay Spring!
Hi Ray – I’m doing some weights on Saturday AM followed by a trail run with my husband. Sunday I’m swimming and then riding my mountain bike. Happy Easter!
Bike race this weekend.
This weekend I plan to do some trekking tomorrow and an easy run on Sunday, before eating half a chocolate egg!
I’m going to ride my bike 2.5-3.5 hours each day. With any luck, most of that will be on my mountain bike with recently upgraded brakes, and will also be toying with bottomless tokens to try to tune my fork a bit better.
Ancillary stuff:
Fixing climbing wall grips to my kids tree-house and fashioning a better door, start working on a pulley system as well…this will involve all sorts of core strength and also improve my will as I do my best to not let out my frustrations by way of “colorful” language.
I will also be hosting an Easter Egg hunt in the back yard so I’ll be working on my functional movements.
I’ll be running 21k like a rabbit that is taking care of his eggs and being chased by a tiger.
6 mile marathon pace run on Friday, 13 miles easy on Saturday, rest and have an Easter egg hunt with the kids on Sunday.
Some running on saturday on the icy roads and long indoor bike ride on sunday
I am hoping to get in a bike ride of 80 miles on Saturday outside if the weather cooperates. Then Sunday I plan to do 100 miles on Zwift due to the crappy weather.
Plan on going for a hike with the whole family. Happy Easter !!!
Bringing the summer bikes out for the first time – and thus justify eating the rest of my chocolate eggs – even the ones with marzipan.

A short bike ride, but mostly cleaning and maintenance of my bikes. While eating chocolate eggs of course.
No training plans this Easter other than massaging, stretching, and creaming the cuboid/5th metatarsal area of my foot… Already seem to have progressed substantially on the long road to recovery from a 3-year chronic not-very-limiting-or-hurting-but-gradually-worsening injury. Can’t wait until I can pick up running without worry again!
Hoping to get outside this weekend when weather turns nice. Sick of the trainer.
I’m a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand but back in my USA hometown for a month holiday. So, my training plans call for a 10-mile run as I am getting ready for a half-marathon in a few weeks while I’m here. And if the weather holds out, I’d love to get in some bike riding. I’ve been gone 2-years and the bike is looking a little dejected. :)
