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.

    Garmin 935. Going back to swimming in addition to my running, and my running watch is getting very long in the tooth.

  2. Rally

  8. Bryce Harris

    I would get the Forerunner 645 with music as I’ve started back running and it is a bit of a pain to carry my phone in my hand to see how far I ran and split times

  9. Jolivet

    I would buy a Fenix 5 as I think it’s the best smartwatch on the market.

  10. niall raeside

    i would love some Assioma pedals.
    i don’t own a power meter yet and Santa seemed to have missed me (I think I was on the naughty list. i think the Easter Bunny and tooth fairy have the same opinion).
    So please help me DCR, you are my only hope

    I’d get a fenix 5 plus as motivation to start training!

  18. Heikki L.

    A smart trainer to keep me going through the winter months!

  19. Andy Harper

    For me it would have to be a Tacx direct drive smart trainer. having spent the last few winters on my dumb wheel on trainer I think I need to treat myself.

    A Wattbike Atom would have been nice

  25. Kostas Kloudas

    Thanks for the giveaway and happy holidays!
    Something power-related for me, either a power meter
    or an indoor-trainer on the high-end side.

  26. Sudy Christoph

    I’d love the GoPro.

  27. Lucky man

    I would be very happy to win dual Favero Assioma power meter pedals to make my bike rides better!

  29. Dennis Bossaerts

    hi Ray,

    Santa forgot to bring me an indoor trainer like a brandnew tacx flux or wahoo kickr.

    so i’m still stuck with my old upgraded tacx flow (the old one, not the iflow) :-(

    brgds,
    Dennis
    PS: keep up the excellent work

  30. Hero 7 black, because of 4K 60fps

    Unfortunately Santa forgot a pair of Favero Assiomas for me.
    Would love to have these in order to be able to measure my power not only on the Kickr but also IRL.

  32. Kostas

    Probably my first Trisuit or a bicycle computer

  33. Scott Sowell

    Have everything that I could ever need but may be fun to have an Ionic watch from FitBit,
