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.

    Hi

    Yesterday a perfect day, fitness in the morning and bike ride in the afternoon

  30. Having become a 24/7 caretaker for a wife with a broken leg (Utah skiing)… I just need to get some solid core and body weight work done and get out the door for two 40-60 min. runs.

    Happy Easter

  34. mfyancey

    It is pretty frosty, but at least the sun is shining, so I’ll get in an easy 5K run today. Rain tomorrow will force me indoors, I’m afraid.

  43. Aydin Mert

    Easter weekend so instead of running, a lot of walking around the city and swimming in the mornings.

  44. Sofia George

    I’m 9 months pregnant and miss hiking and running. As I’m gearing up for labor, I’m just going to be relaxing and eating healthy this weekend. Although, chocolate eggs are tempting me. I’m entering this contest because I would love to win the new Garmin Fenix3 HR for my husband. We are first time parents, but love to stay active.

  45. Matt C

    I’ll be finishing the fourth week of a half-marathon training plan with a 1 hour (zone 2) run. Beyond that, hopefully I can find a decent full-body daily stretch routine to start– desperately need to work on my overall flexibility– and I plan to dust of my dumbbells.

  46. Colin C

    We just had a baby, so most of my training for the weekend will involve strength training (picking up my daughter) and sleep-deprivation training. :-0

    You ready for this, Ray?!
