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.

I took the day off on Friday and Sunday, and just did a 10.6 mile ride on Saturday, then an 11.1 mile ride this morning.
Did a 12 km GA1 run on sunday since this was my schedule in the trainign plan for the upcoming halfmarathon two weeks later.

16 oz hydration drills with a variety of hop flavored water
Long ride on Saturday and a mix of short rides, runs and weight training the rest of the weekend, which will be slotted in as schedule allows :)
Well, plan was a 7 miles easy run yesterday, and trying out tabata today, but with the storm with yellow warning knocking down trees etc, let’s say I don’t feel entirely safe!

Last resto before the tri-season
I rode 18 miles on a bike, which was my first time on a bike in 14 years. Yep. But it was fun! Did nothing the rest of the weekend.
Weekend training plans: lots of mountain bike riding to get ready for the Austin Rattler 100k on April 9th!
Big orienteering competitioin this weekend.
Driving across the province of Ontario to visit the in-laws! (Unfortunately I injured my knee recently, so an Easter egg hunt will be as much training as I get)
Racing a 5k on Saturday, back to daily run training on Monday.
Training plan for last weekend was 13 miles and weight lifting. I’d hoped to ride, but a rainy Easter prevented that.
Next weekend, I’ll be in D.C. for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler.
Easy part: two half-marathon length runs at 5:00 min/km. Hard part: four kids’ soccer matches (as a soccer dad) ;-)

Planned and executed some hill repeats with my brother-in-law before Sundays Easter Dinner. Hydrated with beer. Awesome!
The goal was a long ride on Saturday and 45 min run on Sunday, but my Garmin decided to not work so no one knows what I actually did or did not do. It’s out of warranty so I’ll have to buy a new one.
I plan to ride my road bike on the warmest part of the day this weekend. No more sub zero snow rides.
Well, I missed the weekend part but it looks like I can still enter.
We rode in the car a lot, and then did short runs Saturday and Sunday. Nothing spectacular, but spectacular won’t win this, random numbers will.

Crushed a few bike rides outside before 3rd winter comes in today and ate a pizza for Easter
I’m moving this weekend. There will be lots of walking, last minute packing but most importantly, lots of running up and down staircases to turn an otherwise boring move into a fun workout!
Long run “sandwich”: Saturday 22M long run; Sunday 10M “recovery”.
Easter dinner with the family
This weekend I have a five mile pace run for Saturday and 1:45 worth of running on Sunday as part of my prep for the Lincoln Half. Having some new training tools would make my day! :)

Seeing as I just saw this today….
This weekend will have been:
100K+ ish “hill” training through the wild flowers Saturday.
Sunday, grab the single speed, head into the countryside and totally ignore all metrics during the ride…(of course have VivoActive tracking though because no track or entry on Strava means it didn’t happen eh?)
Monday…probably Sufferfest Nine Hammers squeezed in at lunch
50 mile base ride!
I’m going to try to ride on a day without my water bottle freezing up!
Due to a snow storm I went on a 12 mile run on the treadmill…
going for a century ride in a hilly area

I ran on Saturday and pushed chocolate eggs most of the day Sunday..
Terrible weekend, I had no time to train :-(
Anaerobic threshold run Friday. Long run Sunday.
Easter egg hunt with the munchkins! Yes you can totally turn this into a HIIT. Long run and rack of lamb (probably in that order).
Finished 100/100 running challenge last week. So it is hardcore pool and bike time now. Hitting the pool and lunch every day this week and getting in at least 2 long rides even if I freeze to death.
This weekend I finished a 70 mile ride and 6 mile run just before it started hailing…lucky I guess.
Long run on Sunday!
Long rides cause spring has sprung in the great old Midwestern USA states. 3 hours Friday, 3 hours Saturday, 4 hours Sunday. #baselife
I just completed my first 1/2 marathon this weekend and signed up for another one a couple months from now… so I will probably start training for that one.
I have done a long ride, long run, two long pool session. Woohoo!!!
Considering I’ve moved to a new location, my plans are to explore the forests there! Can’t wait to find new trails, etc. No bunnies, but probably with icecream :P
I had a long run of 14mi on Saturday then on Easter Sunday had a run of 8mi.
Training plan involved a long slow run 15km as well as interval sprints
Was a light weekend at the end of a recovery week – just one group ride on Sat (~60k) which was mostly easy, with a few efforts thrown in. Now I just have to shake this cold so I can leverage that recovery for the next 6 week training block.
Rode 40 miles power Z2. Was more exhausting that it should have been. Then rode 45 minutes with the Niece who is 9 (and needs the exercise – heavier than I was as a kid). Rode 30mins back home. Same Zone2.
Sunday. Early. Finally some traffic relief here in Phx. Rode out to the ‘hills’ to hit a 18% grade I have not done in a while. 55miles total. Various zone. Trying to improve my pathetic FTP.
Grilled lunch for my sister and niece of asparagus, salmon, potatoes, and peaches for easter.
