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
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.
Going for a hike today to test out my new Fenix3 HR. Tomorrow will start interval training.
Getting early prep work done for RAGBRAI with 40 good Friday miles, 50 on Saturday, then a point to point 60+ miler to my niece’s home for Easter…
I’m in week 4 of sweet spot base, mid volume II.
Just completed Leconte and have Warren morning…pre easter brunch!
Happy Easter
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.
I plan to get the bike outside after a long winter that way way I can step up m usual winter training efforts.
Long run on Sat with friends. Intervals on Sun.
Just easy runs and chill.
Usual weekend bike ride
A couple of easy runs and hopefully an outdoor ride (weather depending). I’m a fair weather rider!
No training this weekend, but lots of chocolate eating
i’l be doing pushups – should go above 75 in total during the session.
Sat/Sun – whatever I can do – provided there is no rain :)
Monday – local race (90k, road) as it’s a bank holiday in PL.
Just wish some sun would come…
Easter weekend so instead of running, a lot of walking around the city and swimming in the mornings.
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.
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.
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?!
Hi, moi j’ai 50 bornes de course à pied a faire ce weekend :-) sans le eastern bunny that is!
Easy 20 k ride
A long and slowly Run on Sunday!
New baby in the house, so training time is short. Hill repeats tomorrow, getting ready for a tough race
I’ll be walking around dams and over Hills in an attempt to make myself feel better about all the chocolate indulgence this weekend. Maybe I’ll even squeeze in a run between eggs.
We all need a break in our schedule once in a while to stuff our faces with chocolate right
Just skiing skiing and skking.. My last days this year
I will be decreasing my mileage so that I could spend a little more time in the weight room strength training!
It’ll be a 10k trail run followed up by some bunny shaped chocolate fuel for me
Going for a long run today and hitting the trainer tomorrow before ham!
Today: 3h bike ride, Sunday: 1.45h run + 30 min. core training, Monday: 1h swim training + 1.40h Tacx training. Basically the same as any other weekend.
I didn’t get to ride this week because too much homework at school, but plan a couple hours on the gravel saturday because this is Kansas where gravel is king.

Well having to work a couple ten hour days this weekend won’t leave me a lot of time to train but I would like to hop hop (easter bunny joke get it) on my mountain bike and eat some mud!
Ran intervals yesterday, 5k ‘recovery run’ today and tomorrow will probably be a post-drinking rest day ;) followed by a 2 hour long run on Monday. Hooray for 4 day weekends!
My nutrition for the holidays: antibiotics
My trianing for the holidays: master thesis

Thanks :-)
Recovering from a hard training week with some easy spins.
Don’t have a specific plan at the moment so I’ll just run as many days as I can.
Every time there is a giveaway here, I am with my family at my inlaws on the foot of the Chřiby hills. So the plan is to do some trails – I am a bit tempted to try to run to Brdo lookout tower and back, which will be my longest run (28km).
short run this weekend!
Long ride Saturday, swim and run on Sunday
