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.

20 mi bike Saturday and 10 mi run Sunday to prep for the Easter feast with the family.
Sadly, my training plans were very limited this weekend as we were visiting our son-in-law who is in the army. He is TDY in Va. for training and this was a limited opportunity to visit with him while he is on our side of the world. If I get home tonight, I will ride my bike on the trainer. I would love to have a new trainer with a power meter, right now I have a really plain jane trainer which is better than nothing.
2.7 km swimming on Saturday, weights on Sunday, and 12 km running on Monday : a filled Easter week-end !
Done a three day Ski tour in the austrian alps surrounding the Schobergruppe in Osttirol.
Yesterday I biked 9 miles after a long flight back. This afternoon planning some run after the Easter feast. If were not raining then I would go out for some cycle again.
Easter weekend is the only off-weekend of the season. Nothing at all but eating chocolate (and drinking beers !)
This weekend’s training plan includes resting and enjoying time with family. A short ride and a slow run for me.
