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.
This weekend I’m travelling and won’t have an opportunity at all to train! I get home on Monday night though and hope to get out for a ride then!
Sunday 5k just to see how long it takes me. I am walking in one in a couple weeks and i have not done squat for it.

Hi Ray,
My weekend started as usual with a PT session at lunch on Friday, followed by 10km run of Melbourne’ Tan. Unfortunately I’ve convinced our trainer to move into Triathlons. So he smashed out a 2nd place in the Melbourne summer sprint series and is now working on ITU age group olympic distance. Ride home from work Friday night, 15km. Yarra Boulevard after sunset. Saturday morning swim with the local boys at Balwyn’s 50m year-round outdoor pool, 2km, alongside the Chinese olympic squad preparing for Rio. They’re a bit faster. Ride Sunday from Surrey Hills to Emerald and back, 100km. Emerald is smack bang in the middle of the Aussie forests. Over the local benchmark for riding: the 1 in 20 hill up Mt Dandenong. Pink buns at the Emerald bakery. Sun night easy run with mate to Wattle Park. Monday morning back in the pool for 1500m, easier start before work. Will be cold this week, almost freezing.
100 mile group ride on Saturday, some light intervals or a recovery ride Sunday.
Monday is my usual rest day.
