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 wanted health and happiness for my people… And the fr735 for me! :)
A Garmin Index Scale and Edge 520.
I’ve been pricing out and researching pros and cons of power meters for over two years now, I’m really hoping to finally get one in 2017!
I would definitely get a Fenix 3 HR. I’d enjoy the beefier feel to the watch itself, the added outdoor features over the 735, and the ability to add different watch bands to match my occasion. Cheers!
I’d get a Garmin 230 and Schoche rythme +, because a wrist based heart monitor doesn’t work if your watch is outside your jacket, and chest straps chafe me in a most gruesome way. I have scars to prove it!
I’d get an Edge- my old bike computer died last summer.
This year Cringle’s been so cruel
With no gadgets I feel fooled
But new hope awakens with dawn
Shopping at CleverTraining.com
So I need Garmin F3 sapphire
Why? To put my fat on fire!
Since i cycle, swim and row
I will push each daily goal
And when this body hits the beach
It’ll post nudes – with Garmin each…
A Garmin FR 235 because I’m in desperate need of an upgrade
Was hoping for one of those garmin 520 headunits!
A Rose gold garmin fenix. It is so pretty and does everything!
A garmin fenix 3 hr would be a good replacement for a dying garmin forerunner 620
I would love a GoPro Hero 5 or Garmin Virb Ultra 30 for climbing and running!
I’d get a Garmin Edge 520 or Garmin Edge 820 and the out in front set up for my bike. I’ll be riding unfamiliar roads and terrain fairly often and the turn by turn navigation capabilities will be handy.
Probably a new Garmin watch or a power meter sensor.
I would love to get a power meter
A trainer for sure.
More than likely I’d get a forerunner 35, it’s really got everything I need and no frills…although with a few dollars left over I could get another one for my wife
I love my Power Tap P1
I’d hold off for the Garmin Fenix 5!
I’d like a power meter, because I’ve never used before.
A GoPro Hero for documenting my underwater hobby.

GoPro Hero5 Black. Was hoping for it under the tree, but if I win, I’ll buy it for my birthday next week!
I’d get a Garmin Edge 520 and use the remainder to get new tri bottoms for my wife. Her current pair have been … ventilated … by a dog during her first sprint triathlon last year.
I’d love a Garmin Forerunner 920XT. It’ll probably be replaced with another watch soon, but I’m still using a Forerunner 310XT, and I think it’s about time for an upgrade.
I would go for the GoPro
Fenix 3 hr to replace my super buggy fenix 2!
I’d get a new Garmin. Mine has started resetting itself randomly. I’m thinking a 230/235 or the new 35, but the 630 and 735XT, with a new HR strap look cool as heck too.
Did not get a new running watch
Newest Garmin watch would be great!!
I would get a wahoo kickr for all the indoor training I have to do this winter!
I would like a PowerTap C1 power meter since I don’t have any power meters yet!
The Fenix 3HR for sure!

A new trainer would be fantastic.
Garmin 520, I think :)
I think I’d go for a Fenix 3 HR.
I’d put it towards a power meter for my cx bike!
I’d love a Wahoo Kickr to help me train on a typical Melbourne summer punctuated by a solid week of rain.
Powertap C1
A Garmin Edge 820 so that I can display all the power-based fields from the power meter santa gave me that my 920xt just doesn’t have room for.
Had my eye on the Garmin Vivomove. Nothing crazy, but a sleek watch that keeps you informed of the basics.
I would get a power meter, really want to start training with power!
Go pro hero 5
Fenix 3HR! and probably get the running and swim straps as well
Garmin fenix 3 (or new model if we’re lucky at CES 2017 :) Thanks, Ray!
I’d put the $500 towards a Cyclops Hammer to replace my 1st Gen Kickr, of which I’ve had just about enough!
Maybe the Hero5, I’ve been itching to get a gimbal to go with one
I would get a Fenix 3 hr because my current watch has seen better days

Garmin Fenix HR, because strapless is sexy!
A trainer would get me through a Michigan winter
Put it toward a new trainer.
Happy holidays to all!
Ultegra 6800 group set for my rides
Probably some kind of power meter, but might be waiting for the watt team so in that case it will probably go towards a fenix HR
Would love a shiny new Garmin watch with oHR
Ultegra di2 for my speedy rides
Powertap pedals I think. I’d like to start training with power to move to the next level
I would love to get a some sort of Power Meter or a Garmin Edge. Merry Christmas DCR. Love the blog and all the insight. Here is to a happy and healthy 2017!!
Power meter for 2017 training please
I’d like to get the Garmin Varia Light and Rear Radar setup to complete my Garmin bike components.
I would get the aqua Garmin 735xt to replace her old 305, because she needs a better watch for her first 50 miler in February.
Gear (clothes), stuffs getting old
I missed out on the Power2Max Black Friday sale by a couple of hours so I would get a power meter. I have been wanting to train with power for a number of years now, but have had to wait for power meter prices to drop.
Garmin 735XT
I would love to get a F3. Have a vivoactive now ans have had my eye in the F3 for quite some time.
So many great ones to choose from, but probably would look at Fenix 3. Thanks for always having fantastic and funny reviews!
I’d go for a Fenix 3. Looking to do my first triathlon in 2017 and could use whatever I can to help me for training.
Please Mr. DC Rainmaker. All I have is the 910XT Garmin. I neeed the 935XT. All my friends mock me. Please help.
either the new single sided powertap p1 pedal or the garmin action cam.
Merry Christmas Ray
definitely need a power meter for training this winter!
A Garmin Virb Ultra 30 so I can record my rides with sensor data overlaid. Oh, an SD card and extra battery would be handy too.
A power meter for me!
I would love an Edge 520 to replace my Navi2Coach for 2 main reasons:
1. TrainingPeaks will discontinue Device Agent really soon and it will become harder to transfer from my Navi2Coach
2. I can’t get a combination Fly12 and Navi2Coach mount! Why on earth didn’t OSynce stick with the Garmin quarter turn?!
GoPro Hero 5, never owned an action camera…how exciting it would be.
Man I would love a 4iii power meter! Or some new glasses….
I’d probably go for an upgrade for my Fenix 3 (new model maybe?) Or alternatively maybe get a form of action cam to go on my bike.
735xt! Current watch is getting old and this would pair great with my vivomove!
Wrong email before! Edge 520 for bike info!
I’ll would like to try the Fenix 3. Thank you, Ray!
GoProoooo adventures!
I’d get the 920XT or 735XT. My 11 year old daughter did her first triathlon series this year and convinced me to do a sprint this year. Since I’m a nerd and love data, either of the watches would help me accomplish my goals.
Garmin Edge 25, I need a GPS for the bike.
I need a Fenix 3 by Santa thought I was naughty for some reason
I’d get a Garmin Fenix 3 because it’s time to upgrade my running, training, & racing for 2017 baby!
A new bike computer to support my 70.3 training!

An edge 520. Why? Just bought a new bike and my wife found out its price! ?
