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.

Probably a new garmin watch. Maybe the 945.
Garmin camera to film my runs…
I’ll go with a sport action camera, hard to justify the price, but if it’s free it’s a good price!
Would love some music when running, so a garmin FR645 would be nice.
I’d get the FR945 to check out the new first beat metrics.
Time to get a new bike computer

Power pedals like the Assioma pedals
Man I really need a direct drive turbo!
I definitely want/need a GoPro. Gotta capture some of these activities for posterity. Thx Ray!
Fr945 – just to test the news firstbeat metrics
Defo the Assioma Pedal Based Cycling Power Meter. I’ve loved having power data from my Atom and it would be great to have it on the bike too.
I’d probably get a wheel off trainer as the accuracy of my BKool Smart Pro2 is awful
My dad definitely wants a Forerunner 945. I think he still uses an old 305!
I would get a trainer, to be able to upgrade to train indoors when the weather is bad.
I would split between a new watch (battery on my Garmin 735XT isn’t lasting long anymore) and something for my wife to try and encourage more activity.
I’m just an amateur runner, yet I like metrics.
The new one out of FR945 is waiting for me ..
Greetings to all!
Powermeter!
Garmin 945
I’m pretty sure that I want a new GoPro Hero 7.
A new Garmin Edge

I would order the C-Tug Canoe and Kayak Trolley because after cartopping and portaging my sea kayak feeling strong as Thor followed by a good healthy paddle, I need a new trick like Loki to get it home.
I would probably get an Edge 530
I’d probably get a new watch, likely the Garmin 945, since my watch is cracked. Or, I’d get the Go Pro to record my kids riding their bikes.

Garmin 945 for the battery life.
If luck comes my way, then I’m looking to head up a hill with a Wahoo Climb. But its the downhill bit that pleases most ;-)
I’d get the 4iiii power meter, either single or double-sided, not sure which yet. I’m a weekend warrior, looking to improve my fitness. Never ridden with a power meter before… seems like too much of a splurge to buy.
Hands down the Garmin FR 245 Music!
