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.

  2. Jeremy Churcher

    A Kickr bike might be nice.

  9. Thomas Krämer

    Garmin Fenix 6

  14. Rad

    Forerunner 945, to better prepare for triathlon.

  15. Toni

    Merry Xmas DC! A Fenix 6X Pro would be perfect to be able to real-test the Apps I develop for the Garmin newer devices.

  16. Weg

    I’d go with either some sort of watch that will track swimming, or a Garmin 1030/30x.

    More importantly thanks for all your stellar work for yet another year. Always awesome.

  17. Lieven

    Garmin fenix 5/6 would be welcome

  28. Chris D

    Vectors for swappability

  29. Kevin LaCour

    Oh, a Garmin Fenix 6 solar. I know this gift card will only pay for half, but I’ve got a secret $tash that can make up for the difference. Why? Because it’s the ultimate in multi-sport geekiness … and what do I do with my 935? Gift it to one of my Tri club members.

  30. Gigi Rogan

    Looking forward to getting a new trainer this year

  31. James Harvey

    Wahoo Elemnt Bolt please. My old Trek Node computer broke and a new GPS computer would stop me getting lost :-)

  32. Dani

    What to choose what to choose. Either a FR945 or a bike computer for better stats. Anything to help performance. But I do need a new pair of cycling shoes and trainers

  33. mark palma

  34. John

    A new turbo for the missus would be perfect!

  36. Max

    Garmin Edge 830. Perfect size

  37. Martine Shareck

    A smart trainer would be nice since the one my sister handed me down broke before I could even try it. A trainer would get me through the harsh cold and snowy Canadian winter and ready for Spring cycling!

  38. Luke Hollomon

    I’d use it toward a new smart trainer!

  39. CMV

    A new Garmin watch, even if I don’t really know which one to choose (currently on a Vivoactive 3, after many Forerunners and a fenix3)

  40. Michael

    I’m rather hungry now, so I’d probably go for as many shot blocks as I can get….

  41. Jamie Berg

    Power pedals for the win

  42. Devin

  43. Milan Čmuchař

    I’d go for Kickr Core…

  44. Gabriele Sabbatino

    Probably I would like to win a Fenix 5 , but even a trip to meet Ray and his family! It would be great to know him and them in real! And by the way I’m living in Italy, so should not be that far away. ?

  45. Trevor Mills

    I’m kinda partial to Suunto. I need to replace a ambit 2 run, but similar abilities plus pool swimming auto detect laps would be neat.

  46. Alex Walton

    A new HRM strap for the garmin, or possibly a new way of MEASURING hr such as an optical arm bamd

  47. Megan Drury

    A Wahoo KICKR CLIMB to help prepare for IMLP2020!

  48. Andrew Linquist

    I would love to be able get my 9 year old daughter a Garmin Edge 130 and a Varia Radar so we can ride together outside more safely this spring. I’ve got a similar setup but would love for her to be able to track her own rides and get the beeps for cars approaching from behind.

  59. Opa

    GoPro or DJI, tough choice!

  60. Rodrigo Link

    Probably a new watch or something for a bike

  61. Tom P

    Could always use a new smart trainer, maybe a tacx neo 2t…

  62. Tom Swain

    After finally discovering power on my Kickr Core I’d love to be able to continue using power with a pair of Assiomas! I somehow don’t think my IQ2 will be arriving any time soon so we need another way to power up my ride!

  63. Adrian

    I’d love a new varia radar thanks Ray

  64. Frederik Donkers

    Garmin 945 would be great!!

  90. Shivum Kumar

    The power meter would be awesome for the extra stats.

  91. Scott

    My Brooks Ghosts are nearing the end of their useful running lifespan. I don’t generally ask for running shoes for presents, since I prefer to try things on and can often get deals, but a new pair would be nice.

  92. Joseph Greenwell

    I would get the Assiomas! I need reliable power for outdoor!!!!!!

  93. Dustin New

    I’d love a Wahoo Snap to compliment my rollers for days I’d rather just spin without having to concentrate.

  95. Richard Case
