Now that everyone has recovered from the Giveaway Extravaganza, it’s time to get this DCR Giveaway Show back on the road again. And there’s no better time to do so than mid-way through the 2016 Summer Olympics. Think of this as a bit of a training-pep talk, aimed at pulling you away from 8 hours of water kayaking prelims, and back out to the great outdoors. And no better way to get prepared for that than a new trainer.
So I’ve decided to giveaway said new trainer. Well, actually, technically my friends at Clever Training will be giving away said new Wahoo KICKR trainer. See, they’ve just re-inked their deal with Wahoo Fitness, and now they’re all Wahoo’d up. Or something like that. Either way, you get a trainer. You’ll have to carry it from the front door to your pain cave though. Neither I nor the UPS man is going to do that for you.
To enter: Simply leave a comment below with what Olympic events you’ve been watching. Easy as that!
Yup, it’s that easy! And yes, you can enter no matter where you live. Brazil, Boise, or Bulgaria – all are OK! Perhaps being all Rio’d up, someone from Brazil will win.
Remember that by supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically everything they sell, either using the DCR 10% coupon code of DCR10BTF, or for some products the VIP points program.
The giveaway entry period will run through August 15th, 2016 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly, not on coolness of the Olympic sport you selected. Selecting ping-pong may have unknown results on your odds.
P.S. – If you’re also a European reader, you can double-down on giveaways with Clever Training Europe’s massive summer monthly giveaway. Double-boom!

I’ve enjoyed every moment of the road cycling events so far ….
– Men’s Road Cycling Race
What a great, versatile and tough course in Rio.
– Woman’s Road Cycling Race
My heart stopped for a moment when Annemiek van Vleuten crashed in the decent in the last 15 km of the course. Anna van der Breggen eventually took the gold medal in a sprint of three. ;-)
– Woman’s Individual Time Trial
Dutchie Anna van der Breggen was able to win the bronze medal (after her gold medal in the road race). Some other bad luck for Ellen van Dijk, making a steering error.
– Men’s Individual Time Trial
Province member Tom Dumoulin had the Olympic Individual Time Trial as the main goal of the season. Fabian Cancellara (Spartacus) took the gold medal, beating Dumoulin with 47 seconds.
