Today is Friday – you made it to the end of the week – and almost to the end of spring. But more importantly, today is also National Strawberry Shortcake Day (Don’t trust me? Look it up.) Unfortunately, I don’t expect to eat any Strawberry Shortcake today. Or tomorrow. And sure, I could have titled this ‘Father’s Day Gadget Giveaway’, but some countries celebrate that on other weekends (lookn’ at you, Australia).
In any case, it seems reason enough to give away some gadget goodness. But fear not, I won’t be restricting this to those in specific countries (Australia or otherwise). Anyone, anywhere on earth, is welcome to join as always. Also, I think we just need more cake holidays to have faux reasons for me to give stuff away. It’s been far too long.
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 Hero 7 Black (which is actually $70 off through Sunday, the lowest we’ve seen it), to the just shipping new Stages Dash units, to a random pair of socks, the Garmin Forerunner 945, or heck, even towards a new power meter. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats…wait, update, they do!). 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). Or, you can leave a description of which product your dad would want for Father’s Day.
The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. FR945), 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, June 17th, 2019 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.

I would definitely grab the Garmin Forerunner 945.
If I’m lucky enough, the $500 will go towards a power meter. Which? I’m not quite sure yet!
I’d likely upgrade to a FR945; because, well, it’s newer than my FR645.
A Favero dual powermeter to add to my bike

I’d go for a power meter; not sure which one yet!
Most of my sports tech seems to be aging pretty quickly, I use a garmin 920 as my daily drive for tri training. A new tri watch would be great, or maybe just a bunch of DCRainmaker.com gear. /shrug
Garmin 530, easy-peasy. It’s time to join the 201X crowd.
Oooh. Tough question. Probably something GoPro-ish.. you can never have too many cameras, right?
Garmin Forerunner 945 because, why not?
Garmin Edge 830 plus Varia here I come!!!
Garmin 945
I like having all the numbers I can when I train. Also my old watch is starting to break down.
I’d get something that was on my ‘want’ list – maybe a new GPS. Maybe a new PM. But, then again, I won’t win so it’s all just for the dreaming what I would get if I won.
A Garmin 945 for sure. I love the watch.
my garmin 920 is begging for an upgrade
I’d get a FR945. I don’t need it because I’ve got a 935 last year, but a free update is always welcome, isn’t it?

Stages Dash L50 because I’m fed up of Garmin bugs!

Hyperice Hypervolt. Because every wacky product needs a wacky video: link to youtu.be
I’d go for one of the bike computers, but I’m not sure which one. My fenix is pretty good for navigating but having the larger display and right in front of me would be nice for some of the trips I’d like to take.
A new tri watch!
I’d probably finally get a power meter for the road, but probably still waiting a bit till Shimano releases the next generation of Dura-Ace

I’d get a new bike computer…maybe a Wahoo instead of my ol’ unreliable garmin
I would get a GoPro Hero 7 Black, I’m going to do the Cinglé, the 3 sides of the Ventoux in 1 day and i would like to make a video from it. The thing is my battery from my Session is not very trustworthy anymore and the stabilization is alot worse than the 7 black so I really could do with a better camera!

GoPro camera for Father’s day please.
Either a new Edge, or a FR945
I need a new GPS watch! My Forerunner is nearing a decade old!
Having my sight on In reach mini, but did not have the courage to spend so much dough. I do road cycling so being out of LTE reception is uncommon. But Hey I may pick up trail and deserted trails in the future.
Would love the new Fenix to replace my old Fenix 3 and finally have my heart rate readings !
I would get my husband a crank based power meter for his gravel bike or maybe the Garmin MK1 smart watch! Thanks.
