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.

This weekend I’m as usual going to ride my bike. Preparing for the 300km Swedish gran fondo “Vätternrundan” witch is coming up in a month.
I have to work night this weekend:(, but plan to gets some runs in at bait time.
Saturday recovering, Sunday wake up at 4am for 18 miles long run.
On Saturday morning, I went to a yoga class. The weather was not very good.
On Sunday, the weather improved, so I went for a 22k, 500m altitude gain run. I was quite tired afterwards, but it felt good.
Spent my morning shift gazing longingly at the fantastic weather outside – got an hour or two of daylight after I finished up to finally check out my new local 10km loop. I’m currently getting back into running after a long hiatus (from running – I have been doing a lot of cycling including spending April in Japan taking in 2200km with 40,000m of elevation) – what better way to recover from my run (somewhat less athletically) with a dinner where beer and wine were competing for best pairing. This then required its own recovery the following morning, followed by a 100km ride before switching in to night shift. One more night shift and then I have a nice mid-week weekend!
Running on Uetliberg’s muddy trails “top of Zürich”
I would say an open water swim Saturday morning.
Walking the LDWA 100 mile Hike, across the North York Moors.48 hour time-limit.
On sunday I do 1/2 IM.
50 mile charity bike ride on my vintage bike – 1976 Gazelle Champion Mondial. Wonderful!
Just few km on road bike, to be in shape ;)
I might be a little late to the party…but this weekend saw some solid hours on the turbo. Yay!
Run, or a long bike ride. Weather dependant decision. Worst case, ride the trainer.

Great course, great weather, -> good day ;-)
Have a nice week,

Running a easy 16k on one of the first nice summer days.
Great weather here. So cycling every day.
Racing the Full distance Slateman in Llanberis, cold swim (12 degrees), tough bike course (4.8km climb right out of transition) and a fell run to finish up!! Everyone should give it a go. Absolutely fantastic fun!
