It’s a day in May. No, not May Day. That, according to Wikipedia is May 1st. Rather, it’s May 20th – which I reason is 20 times better than May 1st (albeit, less awesome than May 5th). Why’s it better? Because I’m giving away gadget awesomeness. I originally planned to give away the Garmin FR935 GPS watch, the backorder is basically down to almost nothing. But then I figured – you can choose anything you’d like. Perhaps you’re more of a cyclist, or you just want a large pile of compression sleeves instead. Your choice.
Speaking of coverage – if you didn’t see my tweet yesterday, there’s a BOATLOAD of sales on right now (both from Clever Training as well as others). The best deal being 30% off the Garmin FR735XT GPS watch. But also some solid 20% off deals on power meters, trainers, and 25% off on Suunto gear. The full details are here!
In any case, 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 that Garmin FR935, to a random pair of socks to the PowerTap C1 power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. With that kind of credit, the world is your oyster (except…they don’t sell oysters).
How to enter:
Simply leave a note about what athletic adventures you’re up to this weekend. Easy as that!
Oh – and you’ll likely avoid the SPAM filters if you’re more detailed than just the word ‘run’. Nobody likes to get sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017 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.

Easy cycling ride – rest days :)

In between ferrying the kids to all manner of matches and training I had a lovely 60 k cycle in the rain . Loving the Irish weather
No adventures, just squeezing in trainer rides between family visits and work.
Running, 5k race and a distance run. And, unfortunately, lots of time spent at work.

Most probably my son and I wilk take part in an orienteering bike race. A debut for my son.
I graduated from college yesterday so my athletic adventures this weekend were limited to a fast 15 mile ride today. I did have to walk through a maze of secret service and police from the VP speaking at commencement yesterday. That could probably count as an athletic adventure too.
Nothing! At a wedding, really missed my Sunday bike ride :-(

This weekend was my B race. Phoenix Sprint Triathlon. First race on the new bike and a course I did last year! Tasted blood on the swim, puked 3 times on the bike & once in the run. Overall time was good and I ended up 9th. I then immediately went back to the lake to swim a mile for the Royal life saving society! Came 3rd! Might have even beaten Greg Whyte if I hadn’t raced immediately before! It was awesome because I knew 1/3 of the people there from the tri clubs I train with and I had a fair number of people coming to support us all! Epic day!
This weekend was rained out. Spent four hours on the trainer, followed by a 6-mile treadmill run.
