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.

Zwift, stand up paddling and a swim.
I am still feeling like I am recovering from a 5k last weekend (where I set a PR!) so I will be doing an easy run and some yoga/foam rolling!
I hope that the weather will allow for a 60-70km relaxed group ride on Sunday.
After cycling to the station (that’s almost training) and getting mucky due to the rain we got in Sweden, today was spent resting and washing the bike.
Tomorrow will be a nice solo ride to the coast and up some good climbs, aiming for about 150 km.
Sunday I am travelling again, but Monday will hopefully involve another ride, this time with my dad and in England.
Saturday: 50 mile training ride with Hack & Wheeze Cycling Team in Atlanta

Going to Zwift it this weekend – hoping to summit Zwift Mountain twice in one ride and eat some chocolate eggs and hamentashen on the way!
Hit the hills today, due to do the same on Sunday but due to weather might have to be a turbo session.
Just ride the mountain bike on the back country on both days.
Ride + Run in different days – enjoying the spring
Still rehabbing my ankle after a nasty fracture. I should be back out on the roads in a few weeks.
Im going to hold an eating competition with friends: who can eat the most chocolate eggs in an hour while riding at 75% FTP on the hometrainer!
I will do a nice and easy ride together with the guys of the Vienna International Cycling Club on Sunday and on Saturday maybe a harder one with some intervals.

Cycling. Outdoors if weather permits.
Recovering from a chest infection means to only training I’ll be doing is sat on a sofa, practicing my beer drinking
Just finished a nice sunny ride. And next a long run when I get a chance between the forecast rain for the rest of the long weekend.
10 mile tempo run, a couple of easy shorter runs, and an hour either on the trainer or (depending on fickle mountain weather and the level of the snow line) on the roads.
a little time at the gym but lots of good rest
Tapering for Oceanside next week
Rest day Saturday, 40 miles cycling on Sunday (probably in the rain), core work on holiday Monday and a short ride if it’s dry.

I planed a bike block over the easter days but the shitty wheater in germany and a little cold i got 2 days ago (after running the halfmarathon in Velo Netherlands last Sunday) made me stop my plans an set in a few days of rest.
Saturday will be a quick 3 mile run and Sunday will be Stronglifts 5×5 (Squat/Bench/Row day). What I’m really looking forward to is a week of hiking in Zion NP next week!
Thanks Ray.

Probably just getting enough sleep! More than 5 hours at last! :)
I’ve been slacking, I just hope to get out on the bike.
I plan to run a little and rest a little.
Heading up to ski this weekend, so I guess that would be filed under “cross training.”

(Today, I’m waiting to hear whether I’ll be chosen as an alternate for a charity team and get to run the Boston Marathon for the first time. If not, I’m registered to run the Providence Marathon on May 1.)
11 mile run, 2 hr bike, and a 4 hour meal… or maybe just hide in my bedroom and eat the kids chocolate. Not like they could find the eggs under all the snow anyway…
My training plan this weekend involves trying to eat as many chocolate Easter eggs as I can while riding as many miles as I can. I guess the real test will be to see how many chocolate eggs I can fit in my kit.
Cycle with my wife on our tandem. Aerobic threshold run.
I’ll be praying the snow finally stops here in Colorado so I can get back to cycling next week.

Well I got drawn for the NYC Marathon so I’m working on getting my base up for the next while until training officially begins. 30 minute daily runs for the next month. No easter plans sadly. Thanks Ray!
I’m just hoping to get in some miles. As long as I can find the time for and tolerate in the west NW weather.
The goal is to go for a run every day to burn the calory intake caused by easter bunnies.
This weekend I will be downhill skiing all day and maybe some cross-country skiing in the evening
A ZWIFT Traininf session on my new smart trainer :-) maybe an egg or two!
More of Zwift’s Epic mountain!
Hoping to get a ride in on Monday if the weather cooperates
Once Man Flu has subsided, plenty of km’s to be clocked up on the road bike.

Some pathetic walk/run intervals to rehab an injury.
3 hour turbo session with Zwift. Followed by Easter eggs
My plans this weekend include a 50 mile ride on Saturday followed by an Easter egg hunt at a city park with the kids and strength and conditioning on Sunday at the fire station.
Just a short(ish) long run as part of my training for my second marathon in a few weeks.
Most likely no training, since heavy wind or rain has been predicted.
My plans for the weekend I’d ride 60km around Christchurch port hills in Sat, Sun MTB with friends for 3 hours in the morning, Monvjust a 2km swim in an outdoor pool.
Weather forecast is bad (strong gale) so I will most probably not go seakayaking. My bike is at home, but I have my trainers here so if weather is too bad I will do a 5-10k run.
