I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays. But for those unlucky elves who received only a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.
The winner will get a $500 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 basically anything they sell (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero5 Black to a Garmin Vivoactive HR to a random pair of socks to the PowerTap C1 power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats).
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what product you’d get and why (but don’t worry, you can change your mind later if you win).
The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. F3), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Thursday, December 29th, 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.

I would love to get the Garmin Vivoactive HR, and a lot of other goddies!!!
Feliz Natal!!!
An upgrade to my cycling computer would be nice, perhaps a cool Wahoo one!
I’d sure like a gopro setup!!
a Garmin 735xt to get a proper multisport gps watch!
FR735XT!!
Most likely a new watch!
Fenix3 HRM or maybe an Edge 1000, decisions decisions
I would love a trainer. Something to keep me going for the winter. I go fat for the winter. It would be nice to not be so far behind this year!
I would put it toward a Garmin set of power meter pedals, probably the Vector 2S.
I would like a 4iiii Precision Power Meter on Shimano 105 5800(Left Side Only) to help me train smarter and become a better cyclist.
Ray – I think I would buy a triathlon watch or use the prize towards a power meter.
Fenix 3 HR to track my cross country skiing! Thanks for the chance.
I would get my husband a new Garmin watch because I wanted to get him one for Christmas.
I’d get a Fenix 3 HR because I’m into trail running now and like the navigation features of the watch.
Garmin Fenix 3 – I’m getting more into multi sport (swim, run); so having a watch that can track both would be awesome!
I want the new Quarq DZero powermeter
I would surely buy a pedal based powermeter (sooo expensive in Argentina). I need to measure my efforts to improve my bike so I would hopefully win my spot to 70.3 WC Port Elizabeth 2018.
I didn’t get a Garmin 735xt for Christmas. I’m sure I deserve one:)
I’d get a dzero and finally get a powermeter, that also works for both of my bikes:)
I will get a Suunto Ambit 3 Peak because I really like the rugged design of Suunto watches. They are accurate as hell too.
I’d Love to use it for a Powermeter
I have been wanting a trainer for a long time used mainly for a quicker training ride when I don’t feel like going out on the road and playing with traffic.
I’d love the PowerTap G3 HED Belgium wheels to have power on my road bike.
Would love a new Garmin 735XT…or the Tacx Neo!
Either a 920xt or 735xt, or maybe a running watch. How about an Edge unit? Hmm…
A smart trainer…need to read DC rainmaker review first
I would like to win the fenix 3 hr in order to help my running to push forward this year
I’d get a spare trainer for my wife. Kickr most likely.
I’d get some socks
Gopro Hero 5 to capture my cycling rides with friends!
A fenix 3 hr because I could use it for everything (swim, bike, run, hike, activity tracker,…) and no need for hr strap.
I’d get a new Garmic, because my current one doesn’t have HR nor is water resistant which is bad for the triathlon training in eyeing for the new year. I’d also get new shoes because I can’t seem to find ones that keep me ITBS in check and it’s destroying my season.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR for triathlon
Looking for a smart upgrade to my 910xt!
I would probably get a gps watch…however i might go with a trainer…not sure
Garmin 520 because….we’ll just because it’s awesome.
I will get the gopro hero 5 black ;)
Definitely a power meter, but I am still not sure which one…
I would get a new trainer, so I can ride and still get faster when it’s freezing outside
I have a feeling my craigslist trainer is on its way out, and just when I need it the most, after massive holiday meals! A new Kickr would be my choice.
I would like to have the Garmin 735xt
I could use a Garmin bike computer and this would help there.
A Garmin Edge 820 and $100 worth of socks! Yes! Gogogo!
Both a Garmin Edge 820 and a Hero5 session was missing under the christmas tree …
Garmin Forerunner 920XT watch, as a multi sport watch it would be ideal for triathlons which I plan to do this year.
I’d go for a 4iiii powermeter to get my training more efficient.
I’d put it towards a Kickr.
PowerTap Power Meter – Doing my first Ironman in September.
Probably a new garmin watch, since my old running partner died after a very long life (RIP 305).
Fenix 3 HR, notifications and nice upgrade from 910
I’d get a new GPS watch, since mine died at mile 19 of my last marathon. Probably a Fenix 3.
Powertap C1, need more power in my life!
Definitely a Fenix 3 HR because my Forerunner 920xt is aging.
Would like to get the Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 Action Camera as I had to sell my VIRB XE due to being unable to ride having crashed my bike fracturing my pelvis in 3 places. So starting back now.
I’d go for the latest garmin virb.
I would grab a zwift compatible trainer
Thinking I really need a bike trainer
I’d get a Garmin 735xt in preparation for my first half-iron race in 2017!
I’d like to get a Garmin 235 to better track my runs.
I’d either grab a power meter (P1?) or a new trainer – probably the Kickr Snap.
Still looking for the 735xt, maybe this Santa will be more generous.
Fenix 3 HR for the wife
Pioneer or 4iiii single crank PM. Switchable across the Gravel and CX bikes and I can choose my own pedals. It’s all about the Power!
Excellent! Could only add to the Christmas. I need a power meter.
Want a power meter …even though I don’t generate much power on my recumbent trike (Catrike 700)…or any bike.
A Garmin Fénix 3 since my watch is outdated or a powermeter!
Thanks.
My husband spoiled me with a new tri watch this Christmas so I would like to return the favor and get him the Garmin Edge 520 for his bike!
A nice quiet trainer!
A Garmin 820!
I’m buying a new road bike, so this would be good.
A new trainer or PM!
I’d get my wife a Forerunner 235!
I woukd tend to buy a GARMIN Fenix 3 HR to consolidate my data as the bike computer is a GARMIN Edge 520. So messing around with POLAR’s and GARMIN’s sites would end.
Something for a bike race…
Action camera or powermeter woud be nice :)
I would get a Garmin 735HR to replace my old Forerunner610!
I’d either upgrade my running watch or get a trainer for my bike. No idea where I’d find room to set that up though …
I’d get a Garmin 735xt because I always like to try new gadgets.
735XT to give it to my brother for motivation after 4years nearly off because of injury
A Garmin Fenix 3. Because I’ve been a Good boy
A smart trainer. Probably a Tacx.
I would get PowerTap pedals or a Forerunner 735XT…or both.
Tacx Flux here I come
I’m torn between a camera (GoPro or Garmin) or putting it towards a power meter. I think the camera is winning! Merry Christmas!
I’ve got two old Edge computers, but they suck for ski mountaineering… so a Fenix or an 735xt would be just lovely!
A new Garmin for the girl as she embarks on her first marathon would be amazing.
I’d get a trainer for indoor workouts on the cold and wet days.
Fenix3 or Powermeter would be awesome. Thanks Ray
I’d get a garmin running watch. Probably the 735 because I like the apps and the smart connect. And I mostly do running. And I might even use it as my day to day regular time piece. All things not possible with my garmin 610.
I’d probably go with the new GoPro, because I’ve never had one before – been stalling for YEARS to get one!
I’m thinking it would be a second Wahoo Kickr for my wife. I love mine and she should have one too!
Replace my watch damage in my bike crash
I will go for the Garmin 735xt, there is no better reason to getting from runner to triathlete that a shiny 735!
Probably a Fenix because the AW2 isn’t getting the job done for me.
I would go for the suunto spartan. Simply for running and cycling.
I would probably go for one of the newer Garmin watches that cover all sports, although undecided as to which maybe the vivosmart w/ HR.
I didn’t get an action cam (Garmin preferred) but then again I never ask for anything specific.
I’d definitely get a new Garmin bike computer so I don’t get lost and cause the Girlfriend to have to climb some 15%+ road like last time I got it wrong!! haha
Would get a Go Pro camera ?
Either a tacx neo or a p1 powermeter, depends on what I feel like when I win.
