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.

    I’m doing a long run and a long bike. Maybe even a swim if my shoulder is feeling better.

  11. Levente

    This year at Savitaipale, Finland, it’s skiing on the still frozen Lake Kuolimo, running in the silent forests around the lake, finding chocolate eggs with the kids outside in the snowy garden and trying to be able to do all that with all that delicious food and desserts in the fridge.

  58. Raymond Wright

    Whatever I can fit in considering I am working 12 hour shifts every day this weekend. Boo!

  59. sebastiaan

    If the baby allows me, I’ll go out on the trail here for a quick 2hr ride. Can’t wait to get back to proper training!

    Sun 24km @ 5.15

  61. Training plans for the weekend are actually more on the resting side than anything. I’m aiming to visit a few places to get some walking in, otherwise, it’s more or less a recovery weekend from the week’s training for me.

    I wonder if chocolate bunnies walk, not just hop?

  62. John Bairen

    We’re supposed to get a lot of rain, so I’ll probably spend too much time on the treadmill. If weather permits, I’ll be running trails to get ready for my 50K next month.

  63. AM

    A pool swim and a turbonsession.

  64. John Riordan

    A little swim and eating chocolate bunny ears

    It looks like a nice weekend ahead, so i’ll probably head out on the bike. Oh, and yard work.. that counts as training, right?

  83. Liam

    This weekend is all about taking advantage of a) the time off work and b) beautiful autumn weather here in Australia.
    So;
    Friday – Fast 70km ride – along the coast and then looping back. Then a 10km slow run along the river in the evening
    Saturday – 40km ride, including a couple of hard efforts up some 5 – 8%hills. Then to the pool in the afternoon for a 2.5km steady state, easy swim
    Sunday – A long ride up into the hills; the cafe will be closed so it’ll be BYO this time around :(
    Monday – Nice long run, taking in some hills; aiming for 1.5 hours.

    Oh and did I mention the awesome weather? So lots of outdoor cooking!

    Tuesday is back to work and a couple of days off training…

  84. Mat

    I should do a simple easy run on Saturday followed by a long run Sunday… But I might do the long run on Saturday and spend Sunday eating chocolate eggs actually…
