The Didn’t Get What You Wanted $500 Gadget Giveaway

DSC_4548

I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays.  But for those unlucky elves who received only a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.

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 Hero7 Black to a Fitbit Versa smartwatch to a random pair of socks to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer.  Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats or even other vessels like submarines).

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 Friday, December 28th, 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.

  7. BPLD

    I got a pair of BT headphones, but I currently only have an old Sandisk BT MP3 player… So I would get a nifty new Garmin watch with Spotify integration…

    Bert

  13. Hanna

    I would love to upgrade my Suunto fitness to a Garmin with integrated GPS. As it turns out, I underestimated my fitness interests when I purchased the Suunto!

  14. Mike

    Probably a FR 645. My 230 is starting to look pretty old.

  15. Jens Holmstrup

    I really need a Fenix 5+ to replace my dying xt910 ????

  16. Chris K

    Garmin Bike GPS and mount

  17. Thomas

    I would get a smart trainer, probably the Kickr Core because I am currently building a house and also two weeks ago my wife gave birth to our second child, so I just can‘t find the time to go riding outside at the moment.

  18. Kasia Luczak

    New running watch with music and bone conducting headphones if enough money left.

  19. Felix

    I’d like a GoPro, Santa!

  20. James Keenan

    Treated myself to an Elite Direto which for the life of me I can’t get to calibrate… So I guess I’d like a Fenix or garmin 520 and some lessons in Direto calibration

  21. Tom L.

    Sure would love the Assioma power meter! Then I won’t be married to a single wheel set! Thanks!

  22. Tammy Abbott-Thiel

    I’d get my husband the new Fenix 5X because he deserves something as amazing as he is. He’s taking his vacation this week to move 20 tons of rock into our back yard. He isn’t asking me to help because he knows I have 25 days to my first marathon and doesn’t want me to get hurt. Last year this same time he painted our house.

  23. Fred

    I would get a GoPro. Would love video some of my training for an ultramarathon and trail running , as well as riding my cross bike on some local desert singletrack!

  24. Peter

    A Garmin fenix 5 plus!!!!

  25. Ben N

    I’d get a Wahoo KICKR Core or new KICKR trainer.

  26. Stanislav

    I would really like a Fenix 5 x+ for those mountain adventures!!

    I’d have a Garmin forerunner to replace the 235 I seem to have run into the ground!

  28. Daniel Ward

    Garmin 735 cg for swim bike run

  29. Julia N

    I’d get a Wahoo KICKR Core or new KICKR trainer or I’d get a new Tacx Neo or Tacx Flux 2.

  30. Andy H

    Definitely the Favero Assioma!

  31. Victor

    Garmin running watch, my current one has died. And that during the Christmas Holidays, so sad right now…

  32. Ryan

    $500 would go straight toward a Fenix 5 Plus! My old Fenix 3 is crushing me with having to manually upload my TrainingPeaks workouts. What I am? A Neanderthal?!

  33. Ben Nordstrom

    I’d get one of a Wahoo or Tacx high end trainer!

  34. Derrick Palmer

    Pedal power so I have power on my road bike, plus I’m fat and I need to fix that!!

  35. Eric Levario

    I’d use it toward a new Wahoo Kickr Core. Looking to upgrade from my Cycleops Magnus to something a little more silent and direct drive.

  36. Udi Levin

    I will get a power meter, since it seems I’ve been training completely wrong:(

  37. Lauri

    Probably a new trainer or perhaps a power meter.

  38. mick

    Hi, I would get a Garmin 520+ for my bike, because it would round out tracking my regimen. Just got the Garm scale for xmas. Have a 735 for my runs.

  39. Per Vesterby

    A new watch to replace my tomtom spark

  40. Roland

    I would like a Garmin FR935 as an upgrade from my 735xt.

  41. Tim Desmet

    Power meter to get training right.

  42. Pieter

    I’d love a Garmin Fenix 5+. Best looking watch for me!

  43. Andreas Eriksson

    I would get an fenix 5 plus, so I wouldn’t get lost anymore when doing trailrunning.

  44. Matt B.

    I can’t decide between a power meter or a smart meter. I’ll think on it.

  45. Eva

    I would get Kickr Core because it’s silent and I don’t want to disturb my neighbors with the noise from my old trainer anymore.

  46. Manuel

    Let me think…
    a bike trainer or a cycle computer?

  47. Sefi

    Suunto 9 G1

  48. Douwe

    I would get a power meter for my CX bike. Road season is over in the northeast, time to hit the trails!

  49. Charles dL

    Garmin Fenix 5

  50. Geoff

    I ‘d replace my old Forerunner with a Fenix 5 plus.

  51. Angy

    tough choice.

    let me win and I’ll tell you if I’m on the Hyperice Hypervolt side rahter then picking new running sunglasses for me and my bf

  52. Hans Loois

    Garmin 520+ so i can use bikeradar.

  53. Brian Faure

    Some Garmin gear….always can use more Garmin gear.

  54. Zina

    Some sort of tech watch. Torn between my love of running naked and needing to know when I can stop.

  55. Mikko

    Smart trainer (Kickr Core) or action camera. No wait, power meter! But then again… Oh, the decisions one has to make…

  56. William Ng

    GoPro 7 Black for me!!

  57. Chris Reynolds

    Jumping from a standard trainer to a smart trainer is my objective for 2019. Pricing has really hindered me from pulling the trigger, however the Wahoo KICKR CORE is where I have my sights set!

  58. Laurent

    A difficult choice, I was already planning to buy the Edge 520 plus next year but it’s also tempting to upgrade my vivoactive 3 to a Forerunner 645. The former would help get out of my “comfort zone” (maps yay!) while the latter would get me that sweet training load feature I’ve been hearing very nice things about.

  59. Artyom Romanov

    Wahoo KICKR, the “big brother” (e.g. not the CORE). I am upgrading from a wheel-on Tacx Bushido Smart to a direct-drive and the prep program starts in Jan’19. The older trainer will become a giveaway :)

  60. Chris Cooper

    Tell Santa Ray I would like a new Garmin Fenix or Forerunner. Thanks!

  61. Ariel Schwartz

    Oh how I’d love a Garmin Fenix 5+!!

  62. Perry Taylor

    Probably a power2max track crank :)

  63. David DeGuzman

    maybe an action camera

  64. Carter

    Power meter please for the new bike!

  65. Derick Smith

    Probably get a crank based power meter for my road bike. It’s getting annoying swapping the pedals between the bikes

  66. Raul Montelongo

    GoPro hero

  67. mike

    I’d put this towards a new power meter.

  68. Dylan

    I’d love a new wahoo bike computer, my Garmin has pooped the bed.

  69. Stephen Guerrera

    I’d love a powermeter!

  70. Milt MacFarlane

    Nobody thought of giving me a Stages power meter or an indoor trainer, thanks DCR and Cleverest training

  71. Hmmm…maybe a new watch or GoPro accessory…

  72. Alex Masidlover

    I think it would have to be a Suunto 9 to see if it can match up to my ageing Ambit3

  73. Ales

    Fenix 5X

  74. Arend

    I would like a pair of Garmin Varia Radar for my wife and I!

  78. Alan Pavkovic

    A new cross country mountain bike! (well at least money help buy one!)

  79. Philip Gerrity

    I’d probably get a bunch of socks. Because I like socks. If there’s enough left over, I’ll consider a power meter.

  80. Kostiantyn Savostin

  82. Luca

  84. Ian

    It would have to be a power meter so that I could make the most of TrainerRoad inside and track my power outside

  85. J. Raby

    Garmin Forerunner 645 because I like my 630, but I’d love an upgrade.

  86. eric

    i’d get a new set of disc wheels since i’m upgrading to etap and need to move to 11 speed.

  87. Ketil S

    A GoPro Hero7 Black

  88. Michael Polak

    I was dreaming of a wahoo elemnt…

  89. Dalibor Valter

    Powermeter. Dont know if Stages, or Garmin… will think about it during weekend!

  90. Elliott Blackburn

    Great excuse to upgrade to a Fenix 5+.

  91. Jeff Mackey

    New Tacx trainer so I can pedal during storms

  92. Michael

  95. Karlheinz Kunde

    An Assioma powermeter would be nice to improve my training.

  96. Rupesh

    Fenix 5 plus. I’m hoping a electronic device will keep me accountable for my 2019 goals!

  97. Pete

    Garmin pedals I think. But my targets are so ill-defined for next year that I’m likely to change my mind several times before it’s drawn…

  98. jordi riu iglesias

    A new Fenix ​​5 plus watch I’ve never had one.

  99. David Eggen

    Garmin Fenix 5X to track all the things.

  100. Andy J

    I could use a new GPS watch that gets better battery life or a biking computer since I don’t have one.
