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.

Horsey Hundered – Lexington Kentucky
On Saturday I intend to do a nice cycling training as I’ve missed too many already and the race is coming pretty soon in 3 weeks. On Sunday unfortunately I’ll be participating in a non-cycling event. I’ll be kayaking down Krka river during its annual “Let’s go down on Krka river” where there are about 450 participants each year all starting at the same time. It’s more of a fun event without a competition, but gives you enough training for upper body, some blisters on your hands and a lot of water all over your body especially when tumbling over on some waterfalls. All in all it’s going to be an adventurous weekend. Oh no… That’s going to be my next weekend which meas that this coming weekend will just be boring. Some cycling with hopefully more climbing than usual, lawn mowing, listening to my wife’s nagging, playing with kids, maybe some running and hopefully enjoying some nice weather.

I went for a roll around the surf coast trails in Victoria Australia on my mountain bike!
Will be pace making for my sister in the Edinburgh half marathon Sunday, kindof regretting agreeing to it as it’s a pretty flat course and I reckon I’m in good enough shape for a PB if I was running it for real…
This weekend I’ll be doing rafting around Cesky Krumlov, a beautiful historic town in Czech Republic.
Strong man yard competition…. digging holes, moving a ton of dirt, laying paver bricks, and hefting mulch bags. if I got anything left after that, I may go on a short tempo run.
