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!

The fun thing about the Olympics is that you watch games you normally won’t see.
Never knew that archery could be so thrilling for example.
But the best still was cycling. Women road race with the disaster for Annemiek van Vleuten and the Gold Medal for Anna van der Breggen. And the (for him) disappointing Silver medal for Tom Dumoulin at the Men’s time trial.
The Olympics are great!

I’m spending my holidays watching the olympics on tv, like every 4 years haha. The best show for me so far has been judo. Rugby 7s was a cool sport to discover too !!
