The DCR Easter Bunny $600 Gadget Giveaway

easter-egg-giveaway

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.

  10. I’ll be racing in a Sprint Triathlon on Sunday. Pool swim, closed bike course, 5k run. Lots of hills, though.

  11. anybody

    As I did a long run today my knee will probably scream for some resting tomorrow. Maybe I will do some little gymnastics or just rest.

  12. Dan Kothlow

    Group ride with our local multi-sport group. One hour out – one hour back, then a potluck and microbrew adult beverages. Hopefully the rain will stay away.

  16. Mat

    I have a 10km run and also going for a 60km ride. Nutrition to be a small egg every 45-60 mins with a bunny for recovery! :-)

  17. Keith

    I’m running a 10k on Saturday and riding my bike 32 miles to the beach. That is about all I have the energy for these days.

    • Mark Donnelly

      Planning a 100km MTB orienteering around Madrid with a few friends. Crossing my fingers for a win. I’d love to get a real GPS for my bike. I have a V650 and today’s 80km didn’t go too well.

  18. Eric

    I’m doing a swim at the gym on Saturday and a run on Sunda!

  19. Ronan kane

    XC ski + run + bike ride, the sequence depends on the weather (no cycling in the wet below +10C ;-)

    I’m taking my two year old swimming in the morning, and hoping he will sleep long enough for a 90 minute ride in the afternoon (it normally tires him out pretty well). Then hoping to get in a couple of hours on the bike on Sunday morning before we all head off to my parents to eat and drink too much!

  25. Stephen

    Long Ride tomorrow then probably a short run on Sunday before the feast.

  26. Jarred Ward

    Go for a run if time, get ready for the first big half marathon!

  27. Hi Everyone,

    Thanks DCRM and CT for another giveaway. That’s really pretty awesome of you guys. My weekend training plan is to do my long run towards the goal of charity running the Berlin marathon–my first ever. The long run is still pretty short at the moment–15km.

    Thanks!

  28. Jesse

    Not much probably as I’ve already done 170 kilometres of skiing this week… But maybe a calm 10k just to get back in the running business.

  29. John H

    A 10k race for a local charity on Saturday (that I haven’t trained for at all) and if I’m able to walk after that a 90k bike race on Sunday morning through Connemara in Ireland.

    Swim bike fun! Doing PT for a run injury…

  34. I own a small group gym in San Diego, and amazingly, everyone wants to take a Kickboxing class on Easter Sunday, so I’ll have the gloves on for an hour, preceded by an indoor cycling class (we have Schwinn bikes, so I can’t say Sp_nning).

  35. Peter

    30k of Nordic skiing tomorrow and a ride on Sunday (after gorging on Lindt chocolate and Cadbury mini eggs that I just picked up at Target).
