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.

Well, thinking of a power meter for my bike and I’m currently looking at the FSA Powerbox.
Dzero power meter. Because I prefer the long battery life compared to power pedals.
I’d love the Garmin Vector 3s. Nothing left to be desired in a power meter…
A smart trainer would be just perfect now.
Because garmin is losing the bolt would be an excellent solution
Go pro hero 6 to help keep me safe on bike rides
As just another wannabe athlete,having the Garmin Vector 3s would take my results to the next level.
Would probably get an additional Garmin Vector 3 pedal to dual sided power.
Something with power would be really handy…maybe a garmin vector 3s?
Happy Australia Day everyone! I’d love some Vector 3 pedals.
I’d choose fenix 5, to be able to prepare to my first start in triathlon!
Fenix 5x baby!!
My bike computer broke down, so it´s time for a new one. Probably an Edge 820
The Veeeeeector!!!
The Spartan ultra!!! The best option to triathlon!
I would use it for the deal on the 935 to replace my 735xt ;-)
Happy weekend to all of us !!!
Regards,
Ben
new camping stuff!
A trainer probably.
New multisports watch would be amazing, thanks for this giveaway!
I’d go for the Garmin Vector. Realised I have some extra training time early this year and a new gadget is the perfect excuse to get me out in the bad weather.
Forerunner 935. My 910XT is getting a bit long in the tooth. Would either hand it down to my daughter as a starter device, or turn it into a cheap bike computer ;)
Would have to be the fenix 5
Fenix 5, cos my Fenix 3 is so last year…
I’d love a wahoo bolt as I feel it would help improve the quality of my training when out on the bike.
Sounds good- ill spend $ on a vivoactive3- because jack of all trades.
I’d try and wait for the wahoo climb, but impulsively buy a new power meter esp the vector 3.
A Gopro or Spartan seem nice ;)
Garmin Vector 3
gopro i meted and upgrade
Time to replace my fenix 2
Go pro H5 or garmin vector 3s or may be a new smart trainer. Who knows. Can’t make my mind up.
I would get a Garmin FR 645 or a TACX Neo.
Vector 3 power meter. I don’t have it yet.
Garmin Vector 3 pedals would be a great stuff for me !
I’d upgrade my Fenix 3 to the FR935
id like to have the gopro perhaps the last model we’ll see
I would get a Wahoo Element Bolt
I’d love to get myself a smart watch!
A Garmin Forerunner 1030 would help me find my way on a cycling adventure from UK to Italy this summer.
Just got Vector 3, but I’m sure I’ll find something.
Upgrading my day-to-day watch for HR monitoring and ad-hoc workouts.
Garmin Virb 360 would be a great product to play with.
Thanks Ray!
Garmin gps FR 935 ☺
it’s raining here: getting some rest for the next long ride
I’d love anything towards my first smart trainer. Decided on a Kickr Snap – since moving house the roads are a lot busier and I need to maintain my fitness more than ever to feel confident in traffic and to be able to ride further to quieter roads. So winning this would literally help me get back riding more often! :)
I fenix 5 X. Because I think it’s the most appropriate smart watch for my needs.
Edge 1030, The edge 1000 battery can’t cope with a 100 mile+ navigational ride without turning off all the bells and whistles and zero screen brightness.
I really want a GoPro hero 6. Because me and my brother are planning to climb the highest mountain in Sweden, Kebnekaise! And I really want to film that to show the rest of my family??
I would like to have a new Garmin 645 to run with my audio books on the wrist!
Probably a GoPro, safety side of capturing bike rides and capturing and sharing any epic rides.
Garmin Vector 3 would be very tempting
I would love to put the credit towards a new Garmin F5!! My old 910 has served me well, but doesn’t connect via Ant to my computer anymore so I can’t log my workouts. Fingers crossed!! And thank you DCRainmaker and CleverTraining for this awesome contest!
This is only my second year of triathloning and the next item on my gear wish list is a Garmin Watch. I know I want the Fenix 5 but haven’t decided between the base model or Sapphire. The 500$ credit would make the sapphire an easy choice to make though!
I’ll go fit a GoPro Hero6 Black
I would get a Garmin FR 645 to replace my FR 235
I would get the GoPro Hero 6 Black, because I was going to buy a GoPro Hero5 Session or a YI 4k+ as the Hero4 Session I use now doesn’t haven’t the image quality I want!
Everything is getting old. I would buy a Garmin 935 (or perhaps a 645) to replace my ailing Garmin 610 while I still have some legs left (or maybe a hip replacement – still undecided)!
A power meter would be lovely thanks!
Garmin 935. I need a new tri watch so bad!
Hero6 would be awsome!
I think I’d go for a Giro Synthe helmet. I tried one on at a bike show a while back and found it incredibly comfortable. But my current helmet is fine so I can’t really justify replacing it yet, this would be a good excuse! Otherwise maybe a fenix 5s since I have girly wrists, or a new gopro.
I would get a garmin vector 3 and happy Australia day :)
I would like A Garmin watch. Easy to keep my records while Running and at the gym
I’d put it towards a Garmin Fenix so I don’t get lost in the Lake District.
I would definitely be using the $500 on a Garmin Fenix 5!
Will be nice to grab one of the new Suunto trainer to replace my 2yrs Suunto Traverse.
I’d really like a new watch, a Garmin Fenix 5 or the Suunto equivalent to replace my aging Forerunner 25
Desperately need a turbo……. but might treat myself to Garmin Vector 3 dual power meters too.
I Will get a ser if front and rear cameras foto muy bike!I kind if need them ti improve muy security riding un the city (ir at least ti have proof un the case of antes accident)
Definitely need the Wahoo Elemnt, carrying my mobile and a backup battery charger just ain’t cutting it. ?
I’d really make use of the GoPro Hero6, as I’ll be participating in multiple MTB marathons. It would be nice to recording them.
I would like the Go Pro Hero 6 Black in order to take pictures in half marathons or in trail running. In additions, I will use it for time-lapse videos.
Moving to Iowa, and I need a new trainer to get ready for RAGBRAI! A new Hammer seems about right.
A Garmin Fenix5 would be very nice, thank you
GoPro Fusion 360!
Time to capture 360 action on by bike!
Thanks!
Garmin vector 3, at least half of it.
Time to upgrade my fenix 3 to 5x
Vector 3, as I’m an awful cyclist and would like to see exactly how awful
The new Garmin FR 645 seems about right… ;-)
Time for an (quite) expensive update for my TomTom Spark 3. Ahem.
I’d buy some Garmin running watch since I want to switch from the Polar platform. I’ve no idea yet which model I’d buy.
I would get a Wahoo Element Bolt. Be nice to get away from garmin.
I Want to upgrade my ambit 2 to a fenix 5!!!!
GoPro hero 6 black , so I can register all the moments going from zero2pro …
@zero2pro
It would be a great opportunity to upgrade my trusty 910XT!
I would choose the Stages Dash cycling computer. Why? It’s well built, with an Aluminium chassis for a start. However, I believe it’s start quality is its ability to basically coach while out on the road. The Stages customized training plans from the web based site would be particularly useful to me and any cyclist who takes power based training seriously. It would allow full integration of power meters into personalized plans at relatively low cost. Plus……….I’ve got two Stages power meters!
I’d get a smart trainer for my wife when she is visiting me at where I live and work currently.
I would buy a F5 or a FR935 with HRM band. Replacing my V800.
I would love to win a Garmin fenix 5 with a blue band. The Netherlands is great for sport.
I would upgrade my fenix3 to 5 :)
I would get a GoPro Hero 6 Black to capture my adventures :)
I would love a Wahoo Fitness ELEMNT. I have a line on a used power meter but my current computer doesn’t have a power ability!
Forerunner 935 Tri Bundle so I can properly track my tri efforts!
Can finally get some Garmin vector 3 pedals so I can use power to train outside as well as inside on zwift
I think I would spend it on a replacement for my Garmin 800 which is finding it difficult to locate satellites at the moment. Or maybe towards some power meter pedals and find out what it’s like to train with power at last
A camera to record the first race of my children
Garmin F5, because i would love to try the other side. (Im Polar v800 lover.) :)
Mountain bike power meter
I would like to get a Garmin 935. I love garmin watches, and I would like a watch with Optical HR sensor
A power meter. Probably vector 3s. I don’t have anything for measuring power outside yet.
i would be in my elemnt to ride in the elemnts with an elemnt!!!
