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.

Put a deposit down on a power meter of some sort for the road bike, lets get training with some proper data :)
I’d really like to upgrade my current watch (Fenix 3) to the latest and greatest, so I might get a Fenix 5. On the other hand, I’ve also wanted to get myself a smart trainer because running outside in the winter can get depressing…
Oooh Garmin 645 Music, why? Ugrading and music means one less thing to carry in those mega 3h marathon training sessions ?
A GoPro is high on my shopping list, but so are a new pair of Asics, or maybe the spring collection form Under Armour…
I’m a happy owner of Fenix 3 for almost 2 years and would be very happy to upgrade to Fenix 5, although a bike trainer also comes to my mind ;-)
A fenix 5x probably :-)
GoPro to capture swimming!
Garmin Fenix 5X to hit that sweet HR targets and finnaly get rid of the 2kg which take forever to melt down. :-(
I would catch a GoPro, because i want to have one.
I hate my indoor cycling and I need something to make it more interesting.
Something with Ant+ FE-C to be able to connect it to swift would be a starter :)
O would like a Pioneer Shimano Ultegra 6800 Power Meter crank arm to train better on Road and Zwift!!!
Garmin vector 3s to use on my commuter as I only use power on my neo at home? ?
Wahoo Elemnt would be nice, so that I could finally ditch my Garmin.
Hi there! I would love to have a brand new pair of Garmin Vector 3 to improve my ride experience!
Gopro hero 6. I’ve been on the fence about getting one. But this year I’m taking a trip to Alaska and will be riding in Denali The voice command feature will be nice to start to video hands free if a brown bear that decides to chase
I would love a go pro of some sort, need to re-read your reviews to pick the right one, to film all our family adventures!
Fenix 5
I Would get a Forerunner, since mine has broken. Fenix 5 probably.
Fenix 5X because maps maps maps
I would definitely go with a Gopro! This way I could really make some cool shots and videos about running for Instagram!
Probably a wahoo bolt or possibly a power meter.
I really want that Black Diamond Vapor helmet and then I’ll have some $ left for few Camalot’s :)
Without hesitation, I would apply it towards a new smart trainer – Wahoo Kickr. I’m ready to get on the Zwift “train”!
4iii power meter for my Dad so he stops asking me how many watts we’re doing when we ride together!
I would like a new Garmin 1030, to discover new places!
Fenix 5. Need to upgrade my F3,its on its last legs.
Hello from Brazil i would like to have a power meter for training and racing.
I would like to get a better trainer!
garmin felix 3 or suunto spartan ultra for my first 100M ultra at Bryce Canyon utah course
Smart Trainer to maintain fitness in the coming winter.
I think the Garmin Forerunner 935 would look really good on my wrist!
I’d like to measure my output with Garmin Vector 3
I would like to get forerunner 935. I’d like an open water tri capable watch, but I hesitate because I have a vivoactive hr and the screen is very dim and I worry that all harming screens dim to conserve battery
A new gopro would be great.
I would like Wahoo Kickr for better indoor training in winter.
I would absolutely love to put this towards a Garmin Forerunner 935, I have been drooling over that particular piece of kit for quite some time now!
I’d like Garmin 1030 so I can find my way.
Go for a decent cycle on Sunday, as the weather in Ireland has been crap
The Garmin Forerunner 935 because I really want to replace my more than 6 year old Forerunner 410!
It would be brilliant to be able to train by power and I think the Power2Max NG Eco would hit the sweet spot.
I’m not sure exactly which… but i’d get a bike trainer… there is just too much snow & ice to ride in Orillia, ON… I’ll run in it, but not bike
Ciao! happy owner of Fenix 3hr, would love to change it for the 5 or even the 935! enjoy Aus!
I would get the Garmin vector 3 power meter. It would be awesome to train with power data so what better than a pair of those garmin pedals.
I’d probably get Wahoo Element Bolt, or new Garmin 645. Or something else. We’ll see.
Would love a set of Powertap p1 pedals or Garmin vector 3 pedals to maximize my training for Ironman in August!
I’d get a fénix 5. Love my 3hr
A new suunto spartan please! My awesome Ambit 2 is losing its battery life…
I would love a smart trainer.
Another great giveaway! Would have to be a Go Pro for me :-)

Garmin 935xt. Will help with my training for ironman 70.3 this June
Garmin Vector 3 (dual) pedals, so I can share my Vector 2 pedals with someone else.

I would love to win a GoPro hero 6 black so I can film my bike race this spring :)
GoPro, to film all the crazy things my 3 & 1 yr olds do, and also use at Paris Roubaix this year, wife gave me a leave pass to go all the way from Australia.
I’d get a better trainer for my boyfriend, because he deserves it :-) or a Suunto because I deserve it :D
My old computer a Garmin 300 is starting to show its age so a new computer would be high on my list.
Edge 820 bundle. my old edge 500 is overdue for retirement.
Vector 3 or favero assioma, would be nice to measure power output.
For me it would probably be the GoPro Hero or maybe a new Garmin Edge 1030/520.
Either for doing some nice videos along the beach when walking or to retire my aging 910XT and get a dedicated unit for biking.
Has to be a Tacx Neo. I started the Zwift thing last year with a budget model from another manufacturer and now am hooked. Looking out of the window at the rain pouring down doesn’t tempt me to get my winter bike out at all!
I’d like a new running watch such as the Garmin Fenix 5X. I’ve taken up paragliding along with my continued love of cycling and running and this watch would allow me to track it all. It’ wouldn’t replace a dedicated paragliding altimeter for thermalling, but it would be able to track my ridge soaring flights and my first XC flights.
I’ll get a GoPro Hero 6 to vlog my training.
I would get my first trainer.
Fenix 5. To help my training rise from the ashes of the couch and starts again
I would use it for Garmin Vector 3 to monitor both leg power while having full flexibility for different boat, ah bike.
Garmin Vector 3 would be a great improvement to my bike trainings.
I would get a Garmin Fenix 5.
Because it is a great upgrade.
Any Garmin fitness watch for my wife. Both me and the daughter have one but my wife is really motivated to get fitter and as they say information is the key.

Garmin Forerunner 645M, listen to my tunes while I run & ride my way back to health
i´d love to win the GoPro Hero 6, I need an upgrade :) !!
man so many options, probably a new powermeter… which one who knows maybe upgrade my 4iiii.
A SCOSCHE RHYTHM 24 would be ideal to track my activities without a 2nd device! :-)
I could use a fenix 5. My fenix 2 is ageing and I feel like I’m playing Russian roulette every time I use it
At this moment I would buy a power meter, probably the favero assioma pedals, because it is just a little cheaper. But maybe I can upgrade to the Garmin vector 3 with this giveaway :-)!!!
Vector 3 would be great for monitoring power output during races or training away from the turbo
So many needs! A new power meter to help my training. Or a Garmin FR 935 to accommodate my future triathlons! So many options!
I’d like a crank based power meter
Elite Direto so I will spend more time on Zwift.

definitely, garmin forerunner 645 music, I would like to run full music without the need to carry a smartphone :)
I would buy a garmin 935 forerunner. It seems really great and it should improve a lot my training compared to my Forerunner 610 and my 910XT.
I’d love a suunto trainer, for my girl friend starting her marathon training plan :-)
I’d put it towards a powermeter, a nice Pioneer crankset
I’d get a new bike computer for the spring.
A new Scosche would be brilliant to replace my old one with its fraying strap
I would get a Fenix 5x. I need a good, reliable watch to track sleep, steps, mountain biking, and my upcoming hike in NC. I’ve tried a few others, but nothing seems to work as well as the Garmins.
I’d get a Garmin Edge 820 and give my wife my 800 to use now that she is bike racing.
