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.

The ‘best’ bike trainer from your last Annual Winter Bike Trainer Recommendations.
Because training now outside is mostly not sooo nice… :)
Thanks for this! Keep up the good work.
I’d totally get the Cycliq fly cams for front and rear. With two kids I’d feel better riding in the road.
I would like to win the garmin vector 3, winter is coming in Chile, and to stay active with zwift or VirtuGo is what I want and need.

Would love a garmin watch or an wahoo bolt to repalce my dying edge 800
Assumed i win: I would take the new Garmin Edge 1030 – great for outdoor navigation
Most likely I would buy a Fenix 5 or a new power meter.
I’d go for a Garmin Vector 3, since I’m still missing a power meter on my bike.
Hello Ray,
I will most likely get the Garmin Vector 3 power meter. Why? Because although I changed hubs and cranks several times during the last 10 years I never swapped the pedals for new ones. They are still good but a bit worn out. So it would be a perfect match.
Best regards,
Sebastian
I would go for an 4iiii powermeter.
Garmin Fenix 5, my current fenix 2 is starting to act weird.
wahoo Bolt yes thanks
I would like to win this amazing, fantastical, wicked prize.
Probably the tacx neo
Power meter for the bike to keep measuring Watt when switching from indoors to outdoors.
No doubt Garmin Vector 3, I need power metrics to go to the next level :-)
The garmin 935 for me. I need a watch that has longer batter life for my Ironman races
It’s like a candyshop, I can’t decide yet!
Top stuff Mr maker! I’d get myself a power meter, it is the last piece data that need to optimise my training
I’m looking to upgrade my forerunner 230! I’d love to get my hands on a Fenix!
New Garmin Running Watch, like the look of the 645 Music
I would a Bike friday, but I guess it is not on Clever Training (and I already have three bikes at home!) so a Kickr Snap!!! (I would put the + USD 100)
the new garmin music watch – 645. and some shrimp for the barbie
I would get a new GPS watch, perhaps the new 645, as it is pretty amazing and has everything I would want (and several things I wouldn’t know hoe to use!)
I’d get a Garmin Forerunner 935 watch coz my old Garmin is dead.
I’d get a Garmin Forerunner 645 – would love to replace my Vivoactive!
Gp Pro Hero 6 Black cause my current one is the Go ro 3+ and doesn’t have the resolution of frame rates I need.
I will do the running man if i win
Garmin Fênix 5X – because I want to have map navigation instead of icon navigation!
I would love to upgrade to a Garmin Forerunner 935!
I’d like a Garmin Fenix 3 or Fenix 5 (or affordable top of the line sports watch to use for marathon kayak training. )
935xt so that I could track my training.
Edge 820 or 1030, unsure which. I have a watch for running, but missing that cycle computer.
A GoPro to film all my awesome adventures
Gopro Hero6, because as you said at the Tour Down Under Meetup, it’s simply the best action camera out there!
Hero 6 to film out on the MTB.
Hero Pro camera or Garmin VIRB.
Been looking into a power meter and like the Garmin Vector 3.
garmin 935 or powermeter.
I’m thinking perhaps a Garmin Edge 820 or the Forerunner 645.
I’d nab the Stages Ultegra 6800 Power meter. I’m pretty even from left to right, but super interested in seeing my power output, and how I can improve it.
I’d preorder the Garmin 645 as that seems to be what looks like I want to try the most!
I would get a Garmin 935, or maybe a Fenix 5, or a Spartan Ultra, or a Suunto Baro Outdoor Metal Saphire Trainer Gold Special Edition Limited!
i would probably get a power tap because i just bought a bike to go with it.
It would be an action camera, don’t know which one yet, to shoot some mountain bike and some ski rides !
I’d most likely get a Powertap C1 set since I’ve yet to have a powermeter and I think it would suit my needs.
Vivoactive 3 or Fenix 5X
Garmin Forerunner 645.
I would buy the watteam powerbeat. I’ve been looking for a power meter for a long time and just haven’t had the spare cash laying around. The rest would put to some new tyres as mine in desperate need for a replacement.
Fenix 5s would be really nice thing to get.
Garmin Vector 3
Thanks for this opportunity! I would like to purchase a power meter.
Garmin Vector 3 or Power Tap G3, because I don’t have a power meter on my bike yet.
A Garmin Watch. Not sure which one yet. Cause it is never a bad idea to buy a new Garmin. ;-)
Varia Radar? Because… well I imagine getting ran over sucks.
I deserve to own a power meter. Nothing fancy.
I would get the Garmin Vector 3
Garmin FR935! Thanks for hosting the give away!
I would probably get a Garmin Edge 1030 as I need a replacement bike computer and have lost faith in waiting for the Karoo. Edge 1030 seems ideal.
Wouldn’t mind putting some money towards Tacx Neo Smart or Wahoo Kickr!
