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.

Just in time to replace my F3 that has recently bit the dust….
I think I’ll buy a bike computer to replace my old forerunner.
I’d have a powermeter.
I would really like a Wahoo Roam with a good mount :D
Sure the picture of the Hero 7 would work! But maybe a new watch for the summer? IDK!
Shalom,
My big boy is had joined me on my runs lately, will be happy to give him a decent GPS watch with HR, like the FR645.
I would want to get a Wahoo Roam to play around with and try out.
That GoPro sounds like a good deal, so I’d have to go with that.
A new Garmin Edge 530!
Looking forward to a big WIN here so I don’t have to go out and by it…. Garmin Forerunner 945M. Make my weekend DC Rainmaker
I would grab a Stages L50 and some mounts since my Garmin 820’s battery is on it’s last breath.
Garmin 945 so I can finally train with music and leave my phone home!
I’m thinking my 75yr old dad would really like a Garmin FR945 to track his waddle pace to the pub and back on a Wednesday evening!
Thanks for the giveaway Ray! I’d definitely buy some sort of running watch, since I haven’t had one in a long time and it would be nice to not carry a phone around.
I’d have to think about getting either a new watch or put it towards a set of power pedals.

I’d put this towards a new power meter.
I’d love to have a powermeter …
I’d like to get a new Garmin watch.
I guess this post will get a lot of comments, lol :)
However, I’d pick a FR945, because I’m already running and cycling and your race-reports inspire me to get into triathlon (I’m a terrible swimmer :/ ).
Nice Weekend @all
I would get my first GoPro camera to take some nice action shots while running!
Any garmin edge with routing, so my wife doesn’t need to use my edge 820 explore anymore

Garmin Vector 3
I just bought a new bike, so probably a biking computer although I haven’t decided on which one yet.
A new running watch. My current rcx5 is getting no support after new year and the wristband is broken and haphazardly glued together atm. I’m unsure on if it will be FR245, FR945 or Polar Vantage M/V. Have been waiting on the 245/945 to be available for order, but so far it haven’t…
My trusty Garmin 910xt has finally succumbed to the stresses of being my training partner and is ready to be put out to pasture in favor of a new 945 triathlon setup.
I would get the Garmin FR945 for it’s feature improvements over the FR935.
Elemnt bolt gps – easy. More Poweeeerrrrr
I would buy a nice garmin with music function :)
Would fancy a Garmin Forerunner 945 so I can upgrade from my Vivosmart 3 + GPS phone + barometric altimeter combo when doing outings in the mountains :)
While I love my Garmin 935, an upgrade to the 945 would be a SWEET Father’s Day present!
I quite fancy a play with an aeropod for CdA analysis

Fassioma pedals – for my hubby
I think I would get a new powermeter :)
I would love a Garmin 945 so I don’t have to take my phone to listen to music on my runs.

Fassioma pedals – obvi!!
I would like a Garmin Forerunner 945
I’d put it toward a power meter, or maybe a Garmin watch, or maybe to new Wahoo Roam. So many choices…
A new Garmin 530 would keep me from getting lost and turning 30 mile rides into 40. Who am I kidding, I need the extra mileage.
Gotta be an edge 530 for me Ray so I can use the new climb feature in the Alps, cheers
New watch or a GoPro.
Thanks.
I would probably get a new Garmin watch maybe the FR 645 Music or maybe a GoPro Hero action cam. Hard to decide :)

A black Garmin Instinct would be nice.
Because I don’t have any smart watch
Something to track my lack of sleep would be nice.
As most of us I would love to try the Garmin Forerunner 945. I struggle in summer so I am very curious about the heat acclimation feature. Also because the maps I can use it as a bike computer.
Hi Ray,
I’d buy a Suunto 9 (quality, battery, …)
Great blog!
Garmin 945…. since I went through 735 and 935;)
A Garmin Edge 530 please
