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.

A new smart watch. Probably the Fenix 3. For new and unplanned hiking, cycling and running adventures.
A power meter because my limits doesn’t quite cut it
I would love a garmin fenix 3 to replace my old garmin.
An Elite Drivo or Wahoo Kickr to take my indoor training and racing to an even higher level.
Merry new year! Very generous of you Ray – I rather fancy the Powertap P1 pedals.
Garmin Edge bike computer; not sure which model. Time to upgrade.

Wahoo KICKR so I can keep riding on those rainy days
I ‘d go for the new Suunto Spartan Ultra GPS Watch since i do not own a gps watch and my current 10-years old adidas simple watch is at its last. In addition, i will be able to use it during my cycling and my running workouts.

Probably a Cycleops Magnus. Looking for something better to pedal the winter months away.
I would get Garmin Fenix 3 HR because my Suunto Ambit 2 strap is dying and I do not want to spend like 50eur to get a new one. Also Fenix is so much better then Suunto watches. Suunto is doing something really wrong with their products and costumer support.
I’d upgrade my Edge 510 to a 520
I’d probably get a Garmin scale… to see the damages from the holidays season…
New Suunto watch to prove that it’s not completely crap.

Would definitely be getting a new Garmin with optical hr monitor… Will pick the model when the right time comes and you pick me haha
I would get the Wahoo Elemnt, without hesitation…

Awesome contest! I’d get a fenix 3 to track my runs as I train for a marathon
Definedly a Suunto Traverse – graphite. Yes the Spartan and the Fenix (Garmin) are more sophisticated, but the Traverse is just better designed. I just prefer the old school b&w matrix graphics.
I would look into some upgrades to my pain cave. Maybe new trainer.

Go Pro hero 5. Mostly for fun but I would use it for some running and cycling videos too.

I would like to replace my shoddy FR620 with something a bit more functional, perhaps the FR735XT or Fenix 3.
I`d get Garmin EDGE 820 for more fun during my rides.
Garmin Edge 100 to help me get the most out of my planned 3-month training block in Spain
Garmin Fenix 3 HR: I need something to wear to the office that works as an activity tracker and after work as a proper training partner.
A new Fenix 3 would be a nice replacement for my recently kaput 910 :)
An accurate power meter !
