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 think I would get the BSX.
I will get a action cam, GoPro 5. Thnks!
Choosing a suitable Garmin running watch would be a nice dilemma to have
I’d probably get a Vivoactive HR for me and my girl, just to have some extra statistics over the day and an extra motivator for my girlfriend to get active again.
My choice would be Garmin Fenix 3.
Garmin 520 oder die 735
Oh wow, so many “little” things I’d get, like a Petzl headlamp, perhaps a flashing LED running vest, a new running belt, maybe a Garmin Index Smart Sclae, maybe some energy gels and/or electrolyte tablets, etc.
Basically, I’d go as stocking stuffer crazy as I could and pick up a bunch of the little things I’ve been meaning to get. :)
I would go for the Garmin Forerunner 630
A 735XT or half a Fenix 5 (let#s wait for CES)
I’m looking at power meters maybe 4iiii or Powertap pedals
Home Trainer for snowy days training !

A nice running watch 235 or top would be 735, and add a Scosche never enough of those gimmicks.

Oh let’s go!
I would get a power meter in order to survive the booring indoor traning during winter!
Fenix 4!
definitely a power meter, that would be very nice
I think that the Suunto spartan ultra is really sweet!
Forerunner 920XT Tri bundle.
My trusty old Forerunner 305 is slowly falling apart. It’s running on its second battery (changed it myself, following some online DIY instructions), but the connections are iffy, and sometimes it turns off.
When I got it, I was just running, but now I do multiple sports, so the tri features are just what I “need”.
Garmin 820, because its a treat :)
I need a new sports watch as my ambit 2s keeps failing me.
For my wife a fitbit charge 2 but I think she is better off with a Garmin because thats waterproof but not so feminin.
An indoor trainer with an accurate power estimation would be great!
I would buy a powermeter for smarter training.
Garmin 820 so I can mount and see it
For sure I will go for a new GoPro as my old one crashed last summer…
I’d love a Powemeter.
I would get Garmin Index WiFi Smart scale. That pairs well with my Garmin watch and I could monitor my body.
My choice would be PowerTap pedals, as this would allow me to train and race with power. I could move the pedals between training and race bikes.
A power meter able to be installed and easily changeable in my bikes
I would go for a powermeter discount!
I just started cycling and I would really like to win the Edge 820
My newborn baby got all the gifts.
Bummer – less time to train anyway.
A Garmin 735 would be a nice new year restart.
happy Holidays season
My first pick would be the boat, if they don’t start selling them in the next few days socks will do.
Forerunner 735 for my sister who is an avid cross country and triathlon racer.
Mmmh, not easy for me, but I think I would chose a Garmin 920XT
A Garmin Fenix 3… why not?
I am planning to do my first (half) triathlon in 2017 and I would love to have a multisport watch
I would go for the V800 successor
Some socks and a powermeter that Santa couldn’t fit down the chimney
I got a Lupine bike light for my commuter. This light is precier then my bike – I need a new bike ;-)
PowerTap pedals
A power meter for my new bike!
I’d get a Powermeter, so i won’t have to run on ZPower within Zwift anymore ;)

Fenix 3: because i left mine at the shower on the beach, came back 5 minutes later after realising, and it had gone :(.
I’d get the neuesten Garmin Fenix Watch (Fenix 5? presented @
CES 2017?)?
My wife said I couldn’t have a new Fenix 3 HR because I already have a Fenix 3!!
I would probably put it towards a kickr.
The right hand pedal of my (now left only) power meter pedals to improve the accuracy of the power readings.
2in power meter to train more scientifically.
Didn’t get the GoPro Hero 5 and am dying for one! Borrowed a friend’s when we ran Ragnar Alafia Trail and had a blast making a video from the event, so now I’m hooked!
A power meter for sure, if not I have to rely on power estimation in Strava. It is hard to get an access to power meter from Malaysia.
Indoor trainer for this rainy days.
I’d probably go for a GoPro! :)
Would probably spend it on the new tacx flux to survive the dutch winter weather
Always wanted a sport watch to be independent from my mobile . I would definitely go for a Garmin Fenix or Forerunner.
I can see myself having a lot of fun with a Gopro on the trails… running around and making the most shaky videos ever.
I think it would be a Fenix HR – great device i think.
A Fenix 3 HR. Been running for 4 years and I think being able to track my HR will improve my training.
I’d have to kick in some more money and get a kickr, to try and get fit again
A Garmin watch.
One of the new garmin watches with the hear rate on the wrist. I love having heart rate information but forget to put on the chest strap half the time.
I would go for the Garmin VIRB Ultra, great for the trail work outs and also for our parkrun.
I would get the bee Virb from Garmin to show the family my adventures and to have proof of the inconsiderate dangerous car drivers.
A shiny new Fenix 3 HR as an upgrade from my old Fenix, to use for all my outdoor adventures!
I’d either get the GoPro Hero 5 Black or put that oney towards the Tacx Flux. However, If I win, I might opt for the Neo ;)
I would go for the Fenix 3 HR, it’s just wonderful, love it.
Garmin cadence and speed sensor, plus new turbo trainer to go with it. Would complete the setup to go with the 920xt my wife kindly got me for Christmas
I would love to have GoPro Hero5 Black, because I have no action cam and our Nikon is really suitable only for taking photos. Or maybe rather Garmin Edge 820? :-)
Wahoo Kickr will be my first choice!!
FENIX 3 because my fr230 looks like a toy:)
I’ve been wanting the Scosche Rhythm, but since I just got it for Christmas I would get the Garmin Forerunner 630.
A GoPro would be great to show off all my fabulous sailing adventures ;)
Hmmm. Pick a pressing. Prob have to go G820 I reckon
