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’d use this for a power meter to make training more effective!
Use it toward some powertap p1 pedals.
In order to be able to film my outdoor life, I am looking forward to a GoPro Hero 5 Black. Hope to have beginner’s luck!
Nice giveaway, thanks! I’d get a power meter, or perhaps a Garmin action cam :)
I’d probably put it towards a trainer. Though those socks sound tempting.
Forerunner 735XT – love its versatility
I’d get a Garmin Forerunner 735XT… I really want a device with optical HR + swim, bike, and multi sport features, and I’m already a Garmin ecosystem guy!
Fenix 3 because my ambit 2s is desperately asking for retirement
Power meter!
I really need a powermeter!!!!!!
I wanted a new bike trainer but failed to get one. Maybe now I can get one.
P1, so I can easily install it on spinning bike and train with power while being at sea
Garmin 3HR for replacing my Ambit 3!
I’d like a new Garmin 1000
A Garmin Virb Ultra 30, but this time I’d not use the Altimeter door when I go scuba diving :(
I’m currently racing with a 920xt, but I’m looking forward to either the 930HR or Fenix 5HR.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR
I’d pick up a Garmin Fenix 3HR. No gadgets in k stocking.
The Redshift aero system, given there’s no hope of a tri-bike any time soon it would be great to be able to get half-way towards it!
A Garmin Edge 820 because my 800 is bound together with tape and rubber bands and the touch screen is “stuck” :/
Garmin pedals
Would love a Fenix 3 for the wife.
And I want a Fenix 3 for myself…
$500 credit to CleverTraining.com
The other part of my P1 pedal power meter….
Garmin Vivoactive HR is what I would get.
I need a GoPro Hero5 Black to capture my runnings
I’d get the Garmin 630, because, well, why not? :)
The GoPro hero 5! Seems that nobody read my mind thought…
It would be a touch choice between a Garmin 735 and a Kickr.
I get a garmin virb so I could record some of my rides/runs.
I would get the powertap pedals. I’ve been thinking about it for a while but have yet to pull the plug.
A Garmin Fenix 3 HR to replace my 4 year old 910XT ;)
Almost certainly a set of powertap pedals! Happy holidays all!
Fenix 4/5 when it comes out
A smart trainer for sure. My winter training needs a serious boost.
I’d buy enough socks to never have to wash a pair in 2017!
i’d get a power meter for my new bike!
I would love a rose gold/white fenix 3 because it’s both beautiful and functional!
Hero5, just think of the possibilities.
Fenix 3 HR for my spring summer treks! Or a running iWatch for my wife ;)
A garmin product probably a watch.
A new GPS watch, or maybe a Garmin for my bike. Or maybe both…
Garmin edge 520 – desperately need new head unit :). Or maybe some direct drive trainer (i’d pay the rest).
Garmin 920xt for my half ironman training. It’s been my dream gps watch for some time now ? still using my old forerunner 305 but it’s on its last legs.
I’d like a GoPro 5 Black to take cool pics of my runs
Definitely a Garmin 735xt, it would be such a relief to get rid of the heart rate strap!
I’d get a Fenix 3 because the display of my FR630 sucks
A new watch
Hi Ray, I will use the credit towards a new trainer. Hopefully it can be less noisy from the one I have and will not wake up the kids at 6:00am..
Garmin FR 735XT for sure to replace the current (older) Garmin…
P1 pedals without doubt. After your glowing review. I want them. And I’m sick of using “zpower” or “virtual power”. I wanna know where I actually am power wise. And make some real off season gains!
ooooo 735xt? power meter? always room for new gadgets!
A power meter would be top of my list! Vectors possibly…
Either a power meter for our tandem or a new Garmin Edge for the tandem.
A new trainer would be great – maybe the Wahoo Kickr.
Maybe a GoPro or power meter
A BSX Insight gen2. I can’t really justify it without getting it free! But I’m a bit hit and miss with 20 minute tests so I feel like something that just tells me where I am would be ideal.
Triathlon watch :)
Boy it will cold in Paris tomorrow!
I would definitely go for a PowerMeter :) Woop woop !!!
A Go-Pro or Garmin Vitb, so I don’t have to take photos with my phone and risk trashing it.
I’d go with Stryd and HRM-Swim to supplement my Garmin 735
A smart trainer, so my girl and I could zwift at the same time.
Gonna wait for Garmin Fenix 5 :-)
Power Tap Pedals so I can use my new pedal wrench more often
I would like a new cycling computer to go with my P1s. A Garmin 820 would do quite nicely!
I’d buy the Kickr 2 or the Neo Smart…I’m still on the fence as I’m still not convinced of Tacx reliability.
I would get a new Garmin Forerunner for the upcoming Houston Marathon I will be running! Fingers crossed :-)
Yesterday I broke the screen on my 510 while finishing up recableing my road bike. I dropped it maybe a half meter on to a foam mat and it was shattered. Time for an upgrade!
Of course, a power Meter:-)
Smart trainer for zwift.
Power meter to complete my bike training gadget bling
I’d love to get some nutrition supplements and accessories for running!
Probably put it towards a power meter so I can get on that watt train
I’ll probably get a Garmin Unit to put on my wife’s bike :-)
I’d get a 4iiii precision power meter for my buddy.
A pedal-based power meter!
I need a LOT of new socks because all of mine are holy.
I would get a Fenix 3.
A bike trainer would pay dividends to train with during the winter and icy months.
GoPro Hero5 Black. I really want the drone though!
Garmin Fenix 3, maybe I will go at my first triatlon
I think I would get a new helmet: mine is 5+ years old and probably no longer up to spec. Thanks for this giveaway Ray!
Garmin 735xt. Because my 310 just died
It’s got to be a Wahoo Fitness Elemnt Bundle for me…perfect way to kickstart the new-year and track my progress
Fenix 3 HR to replace my vivoactive HR!
I’ll get a new bike computer, the old one is getting a little bit out of fashion.
I would probably choose a smarter trainer or maybe a Garmin Edge computer of some sorts just to upgrade my gadget park.
Garmin Edge, need to ring in the new year for a great 2017.
I would get the Garmin 735 or the Wahoo organizer table for the laptop etc while on the trainer.
Garmin VivoActive HR- planned to start tracking my rest HR and whole day heart rate.
I’d put it toward the ‘Fenix 4’ or whatever Garmin releases at CES next week.
I’d like a BIKND Jetpack Bike Travel Case, the wife having hinted that a spring training camp might not be impossible.
I’d like to get a fenix 3 hr to replace my old Suunto ambit, I can’t think of a better watch for triathlon and some trail running.
I don’t know yet, but I’m sure I’ll be able to find something I want once I get the $500!
I would get a Garmin Edge 820 since my Edge 500 is starting acting up.
I would get a power meter. Oh and today is my birthday so winning would be awesome!!!
it would have to go towards some powertap p1 pedals, ease of use being the reason :)
