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.

  8. Nancy Marie

    I’m just getting over bronchitis so I’ll be happy if I can jog a mile. I won’t be going to my swim lesson.

  9. Diane Giles

    Today, Friday, a long hike in a canyon to avoid the wind. Tomorrow a long mountain bike ride. A road ride is planned for Sunday, but it may be changed to mountain bike. Spring winds in New Mexico make road riding less desirable.

  10. Patrick Myers

    I’ll keep plugging away on my Tacx Neo (that I bought through CT!!) probably through TrainerRoad or Zwift.

  11. Liz

    Chasing the Easter Bunny for 8 miles around Chrik (aka my long run as part of my half marathon training)

  12. Graham McKenzie

    Century ride tomorrow followed by a 2(ish) hour run on Sunday.

  13. R Chan

    No easter eggs, light training due for a break after 3 week intensive training.

  14. If the ice rain decides to stop, I might venture outside for one or to runs; otherwise, treadmill and spinning bike it is!

  15. Jim

    My goal is to go on a 30 km ride on saturday and a 50 km ride on sunday

  21. Jon

    After a week of being physically lazy and overworked, which resulted in no running of any kind, I’m going to spend the weekend getting in as many miles as I can.

  22. David Paquet

    My training plans this weekend?,,,, It’s Easter, so I’m moving my long run of 11 miles to Saturday. The problem is that Saturday is also a ride day, in this case spin day. So, looks like a brick day for the day before Easter. With everything on the menu, this might be an Easter blessing in disguise.

  23. Maarten

    Planning a ride if the weather allows it, and a run on easter monday :)

    Happy easter!

  24. Michael A.

    Just a short ride on the indoor trainer while watching the DC rainmaker YouTube channel until my knees are OK again.

  25. Steve

    Saturday: Spin class, then a circuit class.

    Sunday: Hopefully warm enough here in New England for a ride.

  26. Carol Robinson

    I will be laying on a heating pad and eating muscle relaxers for back spasms this weekend. This is screwing with my training big-time.

  27. Sadly, I won’t be training this weekend. Watching my mother die instead… :-(

  28. Federica

    Happy Easter! I am doing intervals on Saturday and a longer run on Sunday (12km)
