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 could use a smart trainer so I can try to catch up with the Mrs!

Really need to get in shape for my cycling trip Norway north-south next summer, so a Tacx Neo Smart would really come in handy.
A smart trainer. My bike is sitting in the corner just waiting to be used in the winter.
Gopro, make some funny video. ;)
Edge 820. I get lost a lot on rides
Go pro camera for recording runs and cycles. It will be good to keep a record of my scenic training blocks.
I would definitely get the 735xt because FEATURES!
I would def invest in a new trainer :) cycling is my weakest of the 3.
I’d get a Garmin vivoactive HR as a birthday present for my girlfriend next month!
Id get the Powertap C1 to manage my training even further!
I would invest in a filming drone :)

I need to bite the bullet and buy a power meter.
For 500$, one of the Garmin GPS watches for tri, probably the Garmin FR 735XT
I’m thinking about a high tech scale or a replacement watch, like a 920xt
I would like to use the credit to get the Elige Drivo, to make my Zwift experience an even better one!
PowerTap P1. Have been thinking about one for a long time. Want to improve my ride, but not sure if it helps for my level of skill. But this would definitely help the experiment to prove it once and for all :)
Powermeter!!
id get a 735xt as an all around training watch.
Power meter!!! would be a great addition to my new bike
Power meter would be nice!
I’m thinking the GoPro Heto Black. That was on my “list,” although a little big ticket so I wasn’t expecting to find it in my stocking :-)
Garmin 520 for a friend who doesn’t have a cycle computer yet.
I would invest in a Powermeter (Powertap C1 would be lovely), because I want to do more focused training in 2017
A cycle power meter would be cool. It’s the one bit of useful technology I don’t own.

My second power meter: powertap p1.
I think I would upgrade my trainer. Probably a kickr or similar. Ps Happy Christmas!
I would buy supplies for my bike packing build I am putting together
Fenix 3, the watch!
Fenix3 because it’s sweet.
Fenix 3 HR
New watch, or a trainer, no, no, a power meter, ah wait, maybe a …
Edge 520, need that info on the bike!
I would like to get either a Garmin 920XT, 735XT or Suunto Ambit 3 Sports. Reason is very simply, my current Suunto Ambit 3 Run doesn’t read the power meter data from Stryd. Sigh! Yes, I can also look up the power data after my run in Stryd platform but it defeats the purpose of power meter, doesn’t it? I need a multisports watch or one watch with Garmin ConnectIQ to do that. ?
Maybe a Fenix 3 HR?
I’d put it toward a kicker trainer- to help me find a new way to stay in shape through the winter.
I would get a power meter. Right now I’m using virtual power to train with TrainerRoad and it’d be nice to be able to have power data on outside rides.
I would probably choose a nice Garmin cycling computer as I intend to start riding my bike more come January.
I would definitely get a trainer. With the 1100 degree weather in the desert of Phoenix, you have to train inside!! ??
Power meter, stryd or bike computer.
I’d go with a powertap p1s to easily move between bikes.
Definitely toward a new trainer
I’d probably get a Fenix 3 HR to replace my 910xt. Obviously it has some nice features my old watch lacks like optical HR, and my 910xt is starting to have power button issues.
Accessories for my bicycle
I’d definitely put it toward a power meter. My bike turns 20 years old next year and deserves an upgrade.
I would invest in a smart trainer! I have a fluid trainer that I do power training on, but it gets a bit dull just watching videos. I’d like to interact with them!
I would love a Felix 3
I love a Fenix 3 HR or watteam power meter
A go pro hero 5 to record myself in the shower LOL
