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.

    Long run done on Sunday before Easter festivities.

    Run 45 minutes easy on Friday & Saturday. Hard 5k on Sunday before the big Easter lunch with family.

  3. Robert

    Recovery weekend. 90 minute bike on Saturday. Traveling Sunday followed by relaxing evening run and massage.

  4. ColinH

    Trainer rides Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Maybe the great outdoors on Monday.

  5. CowboyPT

    A good week of multi sport training ahead: three days of one hour rides broken up by two trail runs. Not my own training, but finishing the week with a four hour marathon of community bike fitting!

  6. CarlosB

    I plan on rocking my new run gear Monday and Thursday, riding Tuesday, and getting my swim on Wednesday and Friday.

  7. Bob

    Easy swim, and then off to a holiday!

  8. Jennifer N

    Proud to say I stuck to my entire plan this weekend despite the temptation to just put my feet up. 7km easy run on Friday around the local area, then weights session and pilates on Saturday, followed by the piece de resistance on Sunday – an early 16km long run through Sydney CBD to cover off most of the HM course I will be running in May. And a well earned break today :)

  9. Dan

    Spin Saturday, nothing Sunday – Easter Sunday is family time.

  10. John

    I plan on a 20 mile trainer ride to burn off Sunday’s big meal.

  11. James Mangold
