The Didn’t Get What You Wanted $500 Gadget Giveaway

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 that are kinda like cash).  If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 8 Black to a Garmin Fenix watch to a massive pallet of nutrition gels, to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Actually, it’ll cover exactly the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB, since that’s on sale to $499 right now.  Whatever floats your boat (Note: While they don’t technically sell boats, they do sell stand-up paddle boards…which, are kinda like boats).

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. F6), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters.  And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM.  Got all that? Oh, and if you just want that amazing gadget t-shirt above, you can pick that up here. Or, become a DCR Supporter here!

Good luck!

The giveaway entry period will run through Sunday, December 29th, 2019 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time [Update – through Dec 31st when I remembered to turn this off].  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.

    Kickr climb for me – relieve some of the boredom

    Normally I’ve asked for the newest GoPro hotness but I used my Christmas bonus last year on two Hero7s so now I’m going to ask for a drone. Preferably that Skydio 2 so it can chase me.

  17. Jason

    A new bike computer of any description cause my 2011 bryton ryder 50 is getting a little bit old.

    The Assioma Pedal Based Cycling Power Meter would complete my year. I’ve been Zwifting all winter and really starting to get to grips with Wattage, I plan to do Ride London & a half iron man in 2020, so a power meter is something I’d love!

  61. Luiz F

    I need a Garmin edge, this thing about having to check the watch during rides is getting old..

  62. Texas Susan

    I’d like to get a GoPro to give to my son. He can use it when he competes in Tough Mudders!

  63. Travis Sturm

    If I won, I’d like to get the fisher price trainer for my girlfriend’s son. I think it would help get him past the peddle-peddle-brake mode he seems to always be in

  81. Stephen Betley

    GoPro Hero 8 Black. Ease myself gently into the art of video making, or just keep me safe on the roads!

    A power meter, not because I need one, but because I want one and will eventually be disappointed.

  83. Albert

    I really need to upgrade my watch, so to take my running to a new level.

  84. Troy

    I would upgrade to the Fenix 6 or I would ask you which is the best watch for real Time HR data while swimming? I’m a swimmer (pool) and All I want is wrist base real time HR. I used the Mio Alpha for a year before it died, and really swimming HR is one of the most important real time metrics.

  85. Ian Hall

    As new Garmin Fenix, perhaps a 6?

  86. Sean M

    Kickr Headwind

  87. Matt

  91. Erik Bergenudd

    Hmm. I might get one of those Saris NFinity platforms, or a power meter for an Alchemy Eros that I have on the stand right now.

  93. Jack R

    Garmin Edge 820 – much needed upgrade to my current head unit game

  94. Maarten van Vliet

    A Garmin Fenix watch to replace my old 910xt. Love these watches!

  95. Paul Oliver

    I’d like a Garmin upgrade since my 920xt is almost done :)
