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.

    If I’m lucky, I’ll manage a short run on Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, it’s mostly about visiting the various parents and friends back home.

  2. Floris Van de Vijver

    Saturday will be a lazy day since i’m driving to the French Alps, but sunday (and the rest of the week) will be a whole day of snowboarding :)

  8. Koen Creusen

    My training plan for the weekend is: getting my first proper long run in after my half marathon two weeks ago, and eating tons of eggs, both of the chocolate (valid nutrition) and of the chicken (valid protein?) variety!

  9. Tabatha

    Hi Ray
    I’m only two weeks post marathon so my 4-day weekend will be filled with moderate runs – nothing quick, nothing too long – 12km, 16km, 12km, 16km….
    Nathan

    Unfortunately, I am working these days, but I will definitely ride next week, as I will be free! ;-)

  21. Ola

    Running once leisurely on Good Friday and then an interval workout on Sunday – 40 x 120m, starting every minute. It’s a tough one.

  22. Adam Hollingworth

    No training plans unfortunately as I broke my little toe exactly 1 week ago on a run. 2 weeks is fine for bone healing right?

  23. Crispin E.

    Simple answer for me, I’ve got a packed weekend of Canicross racing all 4 days at a season finale event. [Canicross is cross country running with your dog (mine’s a Siberian Husky) in a harness attached to you via a shock line so that you go even quicker – well that’s the plan anyway…. until your dog decides to go in a vastly different direction to chase rabbits etc.]

  24. Anthony Hatswell

    20 miles this morning (Friday) before my wife heads off for the weekend leving me with baby. There will then be some buggy running and core training, until she is back Monday, when I have a 10k. Happy days.

  25. Jay Tee

    My training this weekend will be chocolate carb loading, then:

    riding every nasty hill I can find at our holiday house, then a couple of flat rides into and out of headwinds.

  26. James Carling

    Towing my unfit ass up some hills in the Peak District.

  29. Hanna Gierzynska-Zalewska

    I’ll do some short and easy run 10 or 12 km (I did more demanding runs earlier). Weekend as usual, maybe I’ll sleep more for a change!

  30. Pieter

    I’m planning a 60K ride on sunday, but I need to be back before the easter lunch :-(

  62. And Barlow

    Taking part in my 137th Parkrun on Saturday and a nice bike ride on Sunday.

  63. Carwyn Jones

    Heading out shortly for a 15 mile bike ride with my son then I’ll do similar on my own. Longer ride (about 50 miles) with friends on Sunday and some MTB fun on the trails on Monday ?

  64. Big weekend of running for me. Lots of spring trail time in the arboretum and Jura.

  65. Kris

    Short run is all I may be able to this weekend.

  66. Dennis

    No plans, cause I am ill ;-(

  67. Pierre

    Going on a 4 days ski WE in Utah, should make an excellent lower body workout.

  68. Tim Horsburgh

    For me it starts with a 100km bike ride supporting a mate training for Ironman and finishing with a half marathon in preperation for a marathon in 2 weeks. Between that is lots of chocolate bunnies and eggs and maybe some other sessions.

  69. Jamppa

    A bit of recovery today to get a sense if flu is really hitting or not — and then a short pace run and on another day a longer steady 20k or so. Cycling season also starts soon, as snow and ice melt away, and the spring dust vanishes from main roads.

  70. Bodo Schenker

    My Goal is to make the Critical Power Test with my brand new Stryd.
    And after it. I Hope to make one or two running units for testing the power measurement of the Stryd.
    I think the units are 10 km.
    But the hardest training will be the birthday party of my daughter (17 years) from the 27th to the 28th of march.

    :-)

  71. Jerc

    I will do some running and if the weather allows also some cycling.
