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.

Probably a Tacx flux so my daughter doesn’t keep kicking me off my Neo!
A new indoor trainer for sure!
I would love a 735xt
Something that beeps and whirls so I can hear it over my kid’s new gadgets
I think I will choose something I like if I win…
I would have loved to get the SRAM eTap groupset but I knew I wouldn’t get it as the elves don’t know know how to make it ?
I’dd get the Quarq DZero power meter, would look great on my new Giant TCR :-)
I would get either the Fenix 3 HR or a new bike trainer, but I need to win the $500 first.
I’d get a shiny new Fenix 3 HR
I would get the Garmin Fenix 3. Now that I am no longer new triathlon I want to increase my training performance with the heart rate and bike statistics.
I did NOT get any bike computer for Christmas, and still riding without one, which makes me very sad. I would definitely go for the Garmin Edge 1000 if I win. Thanks Santa DCR!
I wanted a new indoor bike trainer or a sports watch that would work well when swimming laps.
New trainer – less noise
I will get a trainer because mine is 10 years old and i need a new one.
I’d really like to have a power meter so maybe Powertap G3.
A power meter… why? Cause Santa doesn’t like me ;)
735xt to help with my training
fenix 3
I would use it towards a power meter for my new Lynskey!
Although I bought the Fenix 3 HR recently, I think there is room for even more fun stuff to buy. Maybe a couple of sensors to add to the watch.
I think my 910xt is dying so a 920xt may become a necessity shortly.
A Vivoactive HR to get active and loose the 10 holiday pounds i gained!
A Cyclopes Hammer trainer.
Garmin F3, so i’ll upgrade mine, and give my wife the F2
thanks and happy holidays
The SUUNTO SPARTAN is a watch I’ve always wanted to track my routes
I really want a Garmin FR235. My current Garmin FR220 is getting glitchy.
Garmin FR 235 for sure!!
Probably an action camera
Garmin VivoActive HR
If i was lucky enough to win i would get the Garmin vivoactive hr. Simply because it covers everything i would need it for and it would replace my vivosmart as the screen is fading and becoming unreadable
I received a hideous sweater! I rather have something else :)
Most likely an action cam.
I would get a Garmin 735XT to train for a marathon.
I’ll go for the Garmin Vivosmart HR+.
Bike desk for my new Kickr… and with the change I think I’ll find something more…
I’d love to get the Garmin Fenix HR to replace my current Forerunner 410!
A dj drone because it’s the only way my wife will approve one.
Ｉ would like to by Garmin Fenix 3. Because it looks cool and usable at formal.
Some sort of smart trainer. Im currently training on a busted old thing that gives unpredictable variable resistance.
I have list of things I didn’t get including a Garmin Edge 820.
I am definitely getting Finis underwater earphones
I’d wait until CES and see what is announced. I have my eyes on a new watch this year, but I’m not in any great rush.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR, or Garmin Fenix 5 if released. Want to try out the Race Screen App after reading your article.
Probably put the money towards a new trainer my one sounds like it’s dieing a painful death. Maybe a Kickr
Garmin Fenix 3 HR or something with similar set of features.
A Garmin 735XT so I can have heart rate every run (not just when I remember to put my chest strap on).
A Tacx Neo to keep me company on those long winter rides.
A Fenix3 HR, with all the trimmings…
I’d go with this PowerTap C1 power meter, just to prove the older 2×10 105 components wasn’t that bad of a choice.
I’d go for a Hero 5 to have a better camera on the front of my commuter rig, or maybe a Garmin 820 for recording all my rides.
I really need tacx
Oh boy! I’d need a running watch upgrade from Garmin FR10.
Garmin 735, its about time to replace my 610, so why not go for the best…
A wahoo elemnt – seems like all I do is fight w/my Garmin lately
Powermeter!
Probably Polar cycle computer + some running gear.
Definitely a Garmin 735XT to further my triathlon goals!
Power meter to go with my new bike

Maybe a power meter for the bike.
I’d get two Garmin Vivosmart HR’s (one for each my wife and me) and a Garmin index scale.
Garmin Fenix for the long battery life
Any power meter because I have been wanting one for some time!
Garmin Fenix 3 HR, probably, or maybe the Forerunner 735xt.
A powermeter…. entered the draw last year wanting one, still not have one…..
Any power meter that I can find for less about $500.
Already invested in both a 735XT and an Edge 820 during 2016, so have to go with some kind of powermeter for my bike then…
It is none other than the 4iiii dual PM. Eyeing that for a long time!
One of the Garmin watches
A trainer please, time is crunching
I need more quality sessions and more secure sessions (and more warm actually)
Happy New Year to all tri freeks out there!!
The new Garmin Fenix (5)!
Christmas present? Hmmm.. … Maybe new trainer?
I would love to get a Wahoo Kickr!
Thx DC!
Garmin Virb ultra 30
Either a Stages PM or a new Suunto watch?
A power meter, as it would make a big difference to the way I ride in a way that other things couldn’t.
If I win the 500 ill hold on to it for a little longer until CES, and buy a new fenix 4? or new edge 1010?
Tacx neo (to follow the white rabbit)
I have not checked if they have it, but the karma gimbal would be great. :)
I’d probably put it towards power meter of some description :)
I would get a Garmin Fenix because I want a watch that I can wear even when I’m not working out.
A Garmin 820 or 1000, because my current Garmin broke down last week.
One of the recommended power meters for this year :)
I’d get $500 worth of gels, then my grocery shopping would be done for the month.
I’d get power tap p1 pedals because i unfortunately also own limits.
I don’t geht a Fenix 3 in Christmas! So, must by Thema myself!
Scales for me – my Withings are on their last legs, so perhaps something Garmin.
Garmin Vector pedals! Now that I’m spoiled by training with power on my Wahoo KICKR, it would be great to have the input when I ride outside as well.
Garmin F3. Believe or not, after 3 years of training, I still have no GPS watch.
A Fenix 3, or a power meter, or a Fenix 3, or a power meter.
Tacx Neo.. do i really need a reason?
garmin fenix 3!
Either get a Garmin edge 820 for my bike or replace my Fenix 1 by a Fenix 3
I would get a Power meter or a Trainer, to improve my biking ability also during winter.
Do they sell Apple watches?
Garmin Fenix 3. As a long-time Suunto user, I like Garmin’s new TrueUp multi-device activity tracking sync.
Power meter, that is my wish, maybe an 4iiii precission
Santa could not deliver be causing of funding a Apple Sport Watch 2 and new iPhone 7. The GPS and swim in the new watch is what I need to start on my IronMan journey.
Not sure but new toys are always welcome probable better lights for my bike
