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.

Air quality in South East Queensland means an indoor trainer would be appreciated from Santa’s little helper!
I think the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro would be what I would ask for. It would track my Nordic skiing, backpacking, canoeing and cycling activities. Oh and tell the time.
A new Fenix. My old Fenix 3 has died and have been using my phone for all those Strava trackings. Feel so quaint!
I’d get the newest garmin bike computer since my current one is about 6 years old
Garmin945 for my efforts at triathlon please!
I’d upgrade to a Kicker Core

I’d love a Headwind or some new kit. Can never have enough kit ! ?
A Garmin upgrade for my trainng
Hi Ray, love your detailed reviews! I’d get the Forerunner 645 Music. Why? I like the 245, but the 645 has an altimeter. I’d never spoil myself with one of these, so winning a contest is my best bet! ?
Honestly I’d take any quality GPS running watch.
I would like an FR245 and some smaller running gear
Garmin Edge 1030 to replace my aging 4 years old Edge 1000.
I would use it towards power meter pedals, something I want but can’t quite justify.
A watch for the wife who runs dogs at the shelter for exercise!
Garmin Varia. The safer the ride the better
Would love to get a Fenix 5s Sapphire. Perfect size for my wrist and maps would be amazing while hiking.
Hi Ray,
A Garmin Forerunner 945 would be awesome; thanks for doing a giveaway!
Garmin Forerunner 645 Music watch. My husband would love this watch!
A GoPro to film my rides.
That’s a lot of GU
Time to start training with power. Definitely a power meter.
The Wahoo Kickr Climb would complete the set up after getting the Kickr earlier this year :)
I’d love a Wahoo kickr core for indoor training during the wet and cold months!
power meter pedal/ why? because i can’t afford then!
I’d prolly use it towards a Wahoo smart trainer or the Garmin 945…
I would probably get the Hero 8, since I can use it for work as well as on the bike. Although I do need a new watch.
Hello DC Rainmaker,
I would had liked to received a Wahoo Kickr Climb in order to get the most out of my training.
I would had also liked to received my first Garmin watch. I believe the benefits of a fitness watch would allow me to be more aware of my health and again get the most out of my training.
Thanks kindly!
Ummmmmmmm … I really don’t have a clue right now what I’d get if I won the giveaway. But pretty sure that won’t actually disqualify me, right? right? :)
But based on the stuff I’ve seen at clever training in the past, I’m 100% positive that I can find something that I’d love to make up for all of the lousy christmas presents I got this year. (Joking, it was a great christmas).
I really need a new Garmin watch as my wife got a new one and now I feel inferior ? I love the screen on the Venu.
Time to by a new multisports watch like a Garmin Fenix.
I would definitely get a hypervolt! Well and maybe a fisher price cycle!
I would most definitely get the Favero Assioma duo pedal power meter.
Checked their site and I’d go for the Assioma power meter!
I’d love to have the Hypervolt Hyperice Plus for myself and my wife’s injury and a Garmin Varia tailight for our safety outdoors!
A smart trainer would bring me back on the bike after looooooong time of running/swimming only ….
I would like the farming forerunner 245 music because I have the 245 and miss the music :)
Thanks
New Garmin Edge Cycle 530 /830- need to check your review! Why? Because after buying hubby new running watch and Leki sticks for his Ultra , plus a new Garmin instinct watch for kiddo I find myself having my 935 AND my bloody edge 510 die within a week of Christmas ……. so I have no data and well no more cash as the fam got it all.
Merry Christmas and Joyeux Noel.
I’m looking to get more into my biking, so I’d probably go for a simple smart trainer (Tacx Flow Smart Trainer or something along those lines).
I’d go for a wahoo headwind fan because you can never have too much air movement on the trainer.

I did not get a Garmin Fenix.
I would get some Favero Assiomo DUO pedals to help with my training for for cycling LEJOG in September 2020.
Need to jump on that Kickr Climb to get back into cross training after only focusing on running for too long!
Probably a KICKR core
Not the upgrade I want but the upgrade I need… A new Garmin Edge as my 520 is dying about 20min into a ride after being charged all night. The Festive 500 doesn’t count if it’s not on Strava :-(
A Suunto, it has to be a Suunto! I just love to Finnish!
An update to my gopro hero 2, it’s been faithful but the new ones look pretty sweet and time for an upgrade. Thanks Ray!

A Kickr Climb. To make my setup perfect
I’d love a Fenix or maybe a KICKR Climb to use while the cols are closed over the ski season.
It has to be the Wahoo Kickr Core.
I would like the Assioma power meter so that i can do more accurate training.
Anything techy is awesome!
I would get the EDGE 1030 unit, as I don’t have angels unit yet, and I’d like to do mapping without the smartphone.
I’ll take that pallet of energy gels, I’m running short of Scandinavian Swimmers right now (the caffeine in the gels is a nice boost too).
