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.

Fenix 5x plus. I got enough ties.
Oddly enough, I didn’t get anything, because my mom had a heart attack, and she’s recovering very slowly. So, no shopping this year for her. I did manage to get her a FitBit, after reading your reviews, so now she can monitor her heart beat. As for myself, that new GoPro looks amazing. When I bicycle, I have an old GoPro Session, and take some photos on that, then I share those with my mom. So, a new GoPro 7, means I could share more of the outdoors with her.

Ideally a bionic body as I’m bored of sitting out the season injured.
Garmin 645 Music to help me improve my running
A power meter. For metering the power.
A pair of Garmin Vector pedals. Cos we all need power.
A new smart trainer to link up with Zwift and give me some structure to my indoor training
I got what I wanted: a kickr core.
What would I buy? I want a Garmin 935 music. Now, I know what you’d say, that these don’t yet exist. But I figure if anyone can make Garmin start producing them, it would be Ray.
I need that Garmin 935, to make all my dreams come true. I need that HR on my wrist at all times. Then get the run pod and power my way through runs!
A KICKR Core. Santa got lost.

A Garmin edge, trying to navigate using a wrist mounted watch is a pain…
Asioma for sure. But if I can’t part with the extra cash, I can always find something else that needs replacing.
I’m waiting for some improvements in the Fenix product line before I commit, but with the $500, I would take the plunge now.
