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.

    Well the weekend got a bit stuffed up due to my other half coming down with a cold. So the race on the Saturday was off, but this does mean that I can swap my ride with my son to the afternoon leaving Sunday free. So the plan is a late start after watching the Giro and a trip up to Corin Dam (ACT, Australia) with a mate and hopefully discuss how Chaves kept the Pink Jersey :)

  34. Jason Ryther

    This is a off week on my Ironman training plan. Saturday calls for a 2 hour run followed by a 1 hour recovery bike ride. Sunday is swim testing day to determine training paces for the next 4 weeks. Monday is FTP testing on the bike followed by running hills followed by barbecuing and beer!

  94. Mike

    laying on a beach in Mexico :)

  95. Marc Simkin

    I hope to have some time to ride on Saturday and Sunday, in between BBQ, family events and rain. However, since my parents sold their city house this past spring, everything that could not fit in the new apartment is sitting in the garage at the country home. I have a bike in there someplace. I tired looking for it once already. I didn’t find it. So tomorrow I will make an effort to rescue it. Then see what needs to be done to get it road ready. This is the spare bike I leave at the country home, so I don’t need to drag one with me on a bus, when I come up to visit the family.

  96. Adam Brady

    Hike in Big Bend, run in Del Rio, and a drive back to the Borderland.

  97. Tammy

    Saturday: row a 10k on the erg. Sunday: jog a 5k.
