A May $600 Gadget Giveaway!

DSC_1263

This is the last giveaway.

I mean, the last giveaway until the annual Giveaway Extravaganza next month of course!  I’ll let you read all about what that madness was like last year, but for now, we’ve got to get down to business for this giveaway!

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 the vast majority of what they sell, or use their updated VIP program for anything else.  If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the new Garmin FR735XT (in stock!), to a Cycliq Fly12 camera/light, this crazy foot massager thingy (really) or heck, even a chunk towards SRAM eTAP or the new CycleOps Hammer Trainer.  Whatever floats your boat.

How to enter:

Simply leave a short description of what your training plans are for the weekend ahead.  For those in the US, it’s a long weekend – so substituting your BBQ’ing plans for training plans is acceptable.

The reason you need a short description of ‘what’ is that if you just put a simple one word answer (i.e.5k or hot dog), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters.  And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM.  This is a pulled pork kinda place.  Got all that?

Good luck!

The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, May 30th, 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.

    Just a short easy run this weekend, and some biking. Recovering from a hamstring issue that forced me to DNF a marathon a few weeks ago.

  2. 20 mile run on the Eastern Divide course to prepare for the race in June!

  3. Richard Elliot

    Planning some recovery mileage after my 10km race this week. Hope to get a long run in too.

  4. I’ll be riding two centuries unassisted this weekend to prep for the Double Triple Bypass!

  5. Scott

    6hrs hard and fast mtb ride on Saturday, 8hrs moderate mtb ride on Sunday. I tell the misses that I have to ride that much, it’s training. In reality I just love riding and competing gives me a valid reason to escape the family :)

  6. Gretchen

    Weightlifting – SL 5×5 and hopefully getting the bike in service for summer!

  7. Matt Hunt

    Going to a beer festival on Saturday instead of training, BBQ on Sunday and then picking back up on Monday with a nice long swim and short run

  8. David (frostbyteva)

    Saturday is a shake out day before Sunday’s 101 mile, 10,164 feet of climbing race. A gift card would make getting a Kickr possible so that I can stop roasting my tires.

  9. Anthony Tom

    Have a 5K time trial to end the season Saturday and the seven days rest. BBQ will be fun

  10. Mike K

    My plan looks to be:

    Sat: Morning Run, stuff face at a birthday lunch, kayak a bit
    Sunday: Stuff my face at a BBQ, chase children around (which i think counts as interval training right?)
    Monday: Mountain Bike morning, Hope for no rain afternoon, kayak a bit if i didn’t get to it saturday.

  11. Hoping to get in an extra run, with the additional day off. Easy run on Sat, and maybe a run with the kids/jogging stroller on Monday.

  12. Jake Reynolds

    If the weather holds out, I’m going to try out my new commute on the day off.

  13. Guzman
