Today is Friday – you made it to the end of the week. But more importantly, today is also Australia Day. I only know that because I’m in Australia, and the beaches are more crowded than the starting line of a marathon (still, I pretended to workout and went for a short swim). Thus, it seems reason enough to give away some gadget goodness. But fear not, I won’t be restricting this to those in Australia, or any other country. Anyone, anywhere on earth, is welcome to join as always.
Somehow it’s been far too long since we’ve last done a giveaway. I seriously don’t know how, because I talk about it almost every month with the Clever Training crew, and then somehow it slips off my radar. Perhaps we just need more holidays to have faux reasons for me to give stuff away.
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 almost anything they sell (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero6 Black, to a Suunto Spartan Ultra, to a random pair of socks, to the Garmin Vector 3 power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats). Also note, your credit is in US dollars, not Australian – otherwise you’d get less. Nobody wants less.
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. F5), 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 Monday, January 29th, 2018 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.

A new Garmin bike computer!
I would like to win the Garmin Vector 3 pedals.
Hurray for me!!!
I’m thinking about a trainer…
I would purchase a power meter or vector3s
Thanks to you I’m currently running with FR 230 but looking forward for some upgrade, maybe 935… or perhaps some indor trainer for winter season
If I had $500 I’d buy my golfing partner a VivoActive smart watch and one of me! ?️♀️
Hi Ray,
Thanks for all you do!
I’d be interested in the Garmin Vector 3 pedals, just because of the ease of swapping between bikes.
A Garmin 645 for me, a running watch with all the bells!
The Garmin Forerunner 935 to replace my old watch
Probably a GoPro as I have been looking at them for a while
I’d get the FR935 because I already have one but……my wife doesn’t!!! :)
My wife would like a new GPS running watch…
I would like a 935
Garmin 1030 so I never get lost!
i would love to have a new trainer :)
Thanks Ray, and praise be to your spam filters. Some Vector 3’s would be nice.
A multi sport GPS watch
Hi, a bike computer would be great ! Enjoy your stay down under…
A gps watch, probably a garmin forerunner. IT would be great help to se running speed on the Wirström, instegade of the arm.
Gopro 6, to video our new kid and the girlfriend’s rides
Hey Ray,
I might go for matching socks and sweatband for the occasional indoor training while we have winter on the northern hemisphere.
Cheers
A GoPro for me please!
I’d put it towards some new running shoes!
Patiently waiting to pull the trigger on a pair of Garmin Vector 3’s…
Second trainer for the girl, Garmin 935, Vector 3 for the second bike? Choices, choices.
I would get a Garmin Fenix. A sport and a « normal » watch at the same time.
Garmin Vector 3 please!
I’d probably pick up a Garmin Fenix 5.
Thank you Ray, I think I would either get a Fenix 5 or the Forerunner 645, to replace my 630.
Garmin Vector 3, to replace the sort-of-crappy original Garmin Vector peddle I have.
G’Day Mate. No, I’m not an Aussie, but I hope you are having as much fun as I did when I was there! I would get a 645 Music. My running watch is getting pretty outdated.
Assioma power meter pedals!
A Garnin Fenix 5S, because i’m doing my first triathalon in April
Action cam! Although not sure which
I’d like to spend the money on a new trainer – ideally for a tacx neo
935, or anything Garmin please
Garmin Vector 3 pedals would be nice since I’m starting the base-plan towards the goals of 2018 :)
A new Garmin head unit, barring that a Vector 3 please!
I would love to get a garmin vector 3s!
Would love a wahoo element bolt
Id like a new elite turbo for these long cold winter evenings!
Garmin Vector 3. Need a power meter that can be easily switched between multiple bikes.
One of those fancy new trainers, so I don’t have any more excuses not to bike this winter.
A gopro? Yes, why not? I got a Garmin forerunner 935 a few days ago and my gadget related needs are pretty much covered.
Likely a new trainer. Need to embrace the world of erg mode!
Elite Direto because the weather in Ireland isn’t great
I love a new cycling computer or a credit towards a power meter.
I’d apply it to a Fenix 5 so I could track some (much) longer training efforts.
Hi Ray!
If you don’t mind I would like the garmin vector 3 pedals! ;-)
Thanks a lot :)
Garmin FR 645 because I need to retire my 220.
Definitely Garmin Fenix 5. It looks like the best overall sports watch out there.
I would like to use the Garmin Vector 3. With this Gadget i will be able to start a real serious training in the upcoming cycling season!
Just picked up a GoPro, so going to go with a Garmin Forerunner 645 .
Wahoooooooo Bolt
P1 pedals, just because.
Maybe a new power meter
Yay, TGIF!
Garmin 1030 or Wahoo ELEMNT. Because my current cycling computer is about to die.
I’d love to replace my Fenix 3 HR with the Fenix 5X for the improved optical HR sensor and hopefully fewer GPS errors.
Some power pedals to boost my training rides!
Fenix 5X…. or some new sensor for the velo. Or a trainer.
I would like to buy a Garmin Fenix 5X or Forerunner 645 Music.
I would love to pick up a Garmin Descent MK1 so I can run and dive with the same watch
Fenix 5 so I can cascade my 3, or the new Scosche so I can find out just how much effort I am making in the pool for such little result!
The new Garmin 645.
Garmin Vector 3 pedals so that I can hopefully improve my rather poor ftp.
Vector 3 so I can finally monitor my power!
Vector 3 would be sweet- but so would a new go pro for skiing in a couple of weeks!
Any word about the flooding in your neighborhood? Hope all is well
I would by a bike computer, so I don’t have to take my watch of after swimming, and put on bike, and the same from bike to running.
I would buy Garmin Vector 3.
Thanks!
I would put the $500 towards a power meter! Probably the Vector 3s.
I would probably go for the best Garmin VIRB camera I could get. That would be nice.
I would love to get a Garmin 935. My old watch is worn out.
I’d say the gopro or Fenix 5. Gopro to use on bike rides and grandkid hiking adventures in the mountains.
Elite Direto, for sure. Would really love to finally upgrade my dumb fluid trainer.
I would get me a power meter to help with training
I’d get the Suunto Spartan Ultra because I’ve been putting off glory for too long!
I’d get the GoPro in order to pimp my Instagram feed. Fingers crossed!
thanks Ray.
i would like faver assioma please
I would use it for a smart trainer. I have been able to use one during club training sessions and it’s spoiled me so that I don’t want to use my not-smart one anymore :)
Hi Ray, I need a Fenix5 as all my friends has one and I’m embarrassed everytime we’re going to run and I appear with an old Vivofit… I can’t afford better.
I would definitely pick up a new trainer.
Power meter! Oh the decisions I would have to make….
Thanks Ray, I could use the new Scosche’s New Rhythm 24 Optical HR Sensor for cycling. This way i can give my daughter my older unit, as she wants to train for her first 10 k this summer.
Gotta go with a Forerunner 935. My 310xt is looking pretty rough these days.
I’d love to put that towards a trainer to compliment my new (to me) treadmill.
Most probably a new trainer
Hi Ray,
Would be the Garmin 935 watch for me please
Garmin Vector 3 as it’s a lot easier to switch between bikes than my current power meter!
Thanks!
GoPro Hero 6 – because I don’t have one!
Because it’s winter, do I have to get a trainer? Ok, fine. If I must: the Tacx Genius.
Pick me!
Good idea :-) Would buy Garmin Vector 3 – Tks Ray
I would get a Garmin watch for my wife who wants to get back to running after the arrival of our baby
i would get a suunto spartan ultra for my upcoming 50m trail race .
Thank you good luck
Elite Direto to train!
I think i would buy the Vector 3 pedals. I’m doing my first Triathlon in March and training with power for the winter it would be nice to be able to have that when i actually race.
Thanks DCR, I’d love a Garmin 935
Everyone needs a new vivoactive on a Friday
