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.

    Watch the kids race sailboats on Saturday morning then weights and a run in the afternoon.

  2. Ben F

    Two rest days coming up I think – been an intense week. Will probably have a leisurely cycle somewhere and go to the beach (though storms are forecast for around here so that might be hopeful)

  3. John

    I’ll be running 10 or 12 miles Saturday morning, and hashing Saturday afternoon. If my legs aren’t too sore, I’ll run five miles or so on Sunday – depends on the weather, too!

    Racing in the Scottish duathlon champs

    I’m going to try to do a little part of the parcours of Gent-Wevelgem on saterday.

  6. Kerry

    The plan for this weekend is to continue my recovery from a bunch of running ailments. Nothing but stretching and mobility movements for me.

  7. Ritchie Robertson

    A five mile run in galveston. After that meeting with a group that will most likely beat your podcast cohort Ben at the galveston half ironman in april talk about their brick workout from the morning and the open water swim from the day before.

  8. bobbi

    Gotta try to smash a 12ish mile run into all the Easter goodness. I fully intend on fueling with chocolate bunnies!

    I’ve been terribly lazy of late, so I’ll consider it a success to just get out on one run. Might even make it a hill climb just to teach myself a lesson..

  33. Frank G

    Hi Ray,

    Will do a three-days-in-a-row workout, through local woods.

    Cheers

    Couple of hours on the trainer Saturday and if the weather is nice enough hopefully outside for a few more hours on Sunday.

  65. Michael Harman

    Saturday: probably a much shorter, easier ride for recovery
    Sunday: most likely going to be a day off since it’s supposed to rain

    Interval run this afternoon. Recovery run and body weight exercises on Saturday. Long run on Sunday morning prior to the Easter Bunny’s arrival!

  78. Brett Ward

    Friday I’ve got a running workout with some Hills. Saturday, it’s a long bike ride followed by a relatively short brick run, and then Sunday it’s a nice and short recovery run. Should be lots of fun!!

  79. Steve

    Given the snow forecast for Sat, I’ll be spinning on the rollers. If there isn’t too much snow on Sunday, I may get outside – but probably more roller time.

  80. Peter Chapman

    No plans for training this weekend. I will be spending my time explaining to my wife how I really NEED to spend $600 on a Fenix 3 HR if I don’t win this sweepstakes!

  81. jack allen

    just got to keep moving. hoping for a long run on Saturday and some tennis on Sunday

  83. Mike Man

    Starting with a 60+ mile ride today through the hills. Will see how that goes for the rest of the weekend.

  87. Matt Cartlidge

    Heading out running later, rest day then long bike ride in the Peak District weather permitting here in the UK.

  88. ToniM

    Coming from an injury, start again with 5k on Saturday and if my quads want 7 to 8 km on Monday.

  89. Staffan Nilsson

    Having been to a 10 day “runcation” last and this week, I will do a slow 8k run today Friday and a long run on Monday. I’m training for my second marathon, in Stockholm in June, and I’ve got to find that delicate mix between rest and training.

  90. Jürgen Sachslehner

    A Short swim on saturday morning and a sort of long run(>15K) afterwards.
    On Sunday the weather should be goog enough for a long Bike ride with my girlfriend :D

  91. Dimo

    Visiting family, so for the most part lots of nutrition. Did a short 7k run today though and try to add another one Sunday evening.

  92. Brian Owens

    Short run on Friday. Shop ride on Saturday. Recovery ride on Sunday.

  93. Tyler

    Unfortunately, still rehabbing from a knee surgery, so just some basic PT exercises, and maybe a slowish bike ride.
    Could use some equipment to make the bike trainer more exciting; mostly a runner.

  94. Steve Martin

    Long ride on Saturday and possibly another bike ride on Sunday

  95. Tony

    Some gym time, a 10km run, and hopefully some laps in the pool.

  96. Remi Ricard

    This weekend should be around 12C outside, I will go for my first ride of the year and see if my indorr Sufferfest
    training had paid off this winter.

  97. Brian Cheung

    After a long week of bike commuting, I’m taking today easy then getting some “junk miles” in on Saturday and Sunday. Maybe on Zwift, hopefully in the real world! Maybe I’ll wear the bunny ears on Sunday.

  98. Jon K

    This weekend I’ve got a 7 miler planned.

  99. Justin

    Running on sand mainly now to increase the pain, so probably a whole lot more of that for the Easter break. A 10k on Sunday perhaps…

  100. Kevin Gienapp

    I’m doing a 90 minute long run on Sunday to get ready for half marathon in April
