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.
10m long run… following hal higdon novice 1 training program

After a few ups and down, finally gonna get my butt back out there. We’ll see how it goes but hopefully I’ll clock 7 to 10K’s. :)

I’ll probably just spend the weekend browsing the clevertraining website trying to figure out what to get :)
Trailrun planne!
I plan on riding a solid 25+ mile today as well as a 40+ mile Monday morning. Topping the weekend off with eating a meal with the family in honoring Memorial Day. Everyone stay safe and healthy this holiday weekend!

I plan to get back on the bike for the first time in 5 days. Who gets hit with the flu thus time if year??!! I got nailed with illness Wednesday and pretty much lost track of life until yesterday.

Hi there! Easy 10k today but gorgeous run through the woods. Week 1 of a half marathon training plan down, fifteen weeks to go!
Work/school combined has been taking its toll on my training, so this weekend I am getting back into after about 10 days of nothingness. I like to start back up by getting on the treadmill and setting the pace, it keeps me from “going out” too fast and makes sure I don’t overdo it.
Long ride and openwater swim if the lake isn’t too cold!
2×600 yard swims in Watts Bar lake, Stand-up paddleboard for a bit, and 15 mile bike ride plus a whole bunch of pressure washing.
