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.

I would update my long-serving Forerunner 910xt to the current version of that watch, or perhaps the comparable Fenix model.
I’d use a GoPro Hero 8 to video Whale Sharks when I dive in Roatan in April ’20.
Definately a new trainer. Was aiming for the fliiiight, but seen as it will benefit from (/needs) further updates to perform as desired, I’ll choose another one.
I’m in dire need of a new cycle computer (either Wahoo elemnt or Garmin edge) because I lost my old one 2 summers ago and have used my watch since!
Fenix 6
Garmin 945 ? am a mom of 2 staring down 40 and finally signed up for 3 Trail races in 2020. Would love to finally get something for me instead of putting it off for the kids
I would get a new smart trainer. Wahoo kickr most likely.
A silent trainer, is essential
I have a Vivoactive 3, but I wouldn’t mind to exchange it to Venu. Seems a lot more options and better display from what I got from your review. thanks!
Power meter for sure
I would love a new Fenix 6 to upgrade to from my 5!
Well, a Garmin 945. A serious upgrade to the 935 and I do prefer the looks and lightness over a Fenix.
I would like a forunner 945 for the body battery and heat acclimation features
Almost certainly a kickr climb.
I would get the Garmin Instinct Tactical Outdoor GPS Watch so I could monitor my heart rate.
The Garmin 945 Tri bundle to get back in the marathon game in 2020 Would be really nice!
I’d get a pair of HOKA Rincon and Clifton shoes so I can replace my current sad stock as the road km’s start increasing in the New Year.
GARMIN 945 would be really nice post christmas present :)
A new Edge 520 would be awesome!
A Wahoo KICKR/CORE.
Because I guess my Minoura MagTurbo Trainer from the late ’80’s attaching to the bike (2003 Trek 5200) by the fork’s quick release and clamping chainstays behind the bottom bracket area is getting old.
Being very poor and loving cycling is not a crime.
And don’t think I’m not appreciative of what I’ve got.
Free Rollers for the Velodrome!
A trainer or a powermeter idk.
A new power meter would be nice.
New Garmin Edge – I need something to give me an edge.
The Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM will be nice addition to my cycling passion.
New power meter to power me to finish my first ironman in over 10 years!
I would love Aftershokz bone conduction headphones and the left over money to help buy the Phoenix 6 for my husband. Thanks!!
I’d put the money towards a new trainer. Got to stay in shape over the winter! And maybe some gels
As a mountain biker who does not navigate well in the off-road, I think the Garmin edge 830 computer would be most helpful. Map features from trailforks with live turn prompts is a great function n
A new, reliable , continuous health/activity tracker to replace the all over the place Vivoactive 3
Wahoo Elemnt Bolt. Tired of cycling with just a Suunto watch… I am missing a big screen showing me turn by turn navigation, now that I am in explorer mode!

I’d love a smart trainer. Trying to get out for rides in the wi terminal having small kids, it just doesn’t happen
Yes please, something shiny and new!
Fenix 6S to kick start 2020 in turbo mode
Turbo trainer, without a doubt :-)
I’d finally get some comfortable, non-cheap cycling shoes and maybe a spare helmet. Gotta protect the noggin, if it ain’t too late.
I’d love an Assioma power meter because I don’t have one and use power on my Kickr.
This is a placeholder; should I win then I will give a thought of what to choose. Thank you for running this giveaway.
Wahoo elemnt roam
Garmin Forerunner 645 music for-a-runner who I support the most – my wife.

I would get the Favero Assioma Du. My old power meter is broken and I miss riding with powerdata.
A new power meter would be awesome
I would love to have a Garmin Forerunner 945 – the best sports watch and even more motivation for training next year!
I would definitely like a new smart Garmin. Venu or Fenix 6.
I really need an upgrade to my GoPro Hero 3

Fenix 6? To upgrade my 5+… I just don’t know which one to get.
A new garmin edge bike computer as mine was destroyed in a bike crash during the hincapie gran fondo when a guy in front of me dropped his iphone. I avoided his iphone but hit him and did a front flip when he stopped and turned sideways suddenly. I didn’t realize it at the time but the power button on my garmin was smashed in during the crash and allowed water intrusion during the rest of the ride. I had a case covering it so I did know until it began acting up later.
Fenix 6X Pro! Need one now that I have two marathons and three mountain runs to train for in 2020 ???
Probably a Garmin Venu since it looks really slick!
Favero assioma duo – time to go dual side for power measurement!
I would get the 4iii trainer, so I could get back into shape in the next door to our newborn.
New wheel set!
A silent trainer, so my neighbors can have a conversation while I’m sweating my ass off
New garmin 5s cause my fenix 3 is playing dead
I will go for a dji Mavic mini or some winter bike shoes.
So much to choose from, I’m guessing it’s time to replace my watch, so a fenix 6
Giro rumble VR dirt shoe. I need some gravel gear and that seems like the first thing so thought of. Or maybe a power meter for the gravel bike. Unclear.

A garmin fenix 6 instead office the aliexpress socks i received
Would love to be able to give something new to my wife!
An edge 830 to replace my aging 1000

Large TV to put directly in front of trainer.
I would get a Garmin Venu, because my TomTom Runner is getting old and the Venu looks like a really good watch.

I’d get the assiamo pedals to try out the TrainerRoad outdoor workouts. Way better at making me faster than the essential oils I got from secret Santa
I’d get something from Garmin.
I would be looking at a kickr climb or a Quarq for my wife.
The 945 would be my upgrade.
I’m a numbers guy. I want all the numbers. I often enjoy analyzing the numbers more than the actual activity. The one number I’ve been missing due to the high cost is power. I need power. A power meter is definitely in my future.
I would love to get Assioma power pedals. why? don’t have a power meter!

Wahoo Elemnt Roam. Original Elemnt is going strong but would love that backlight and better turn by turn support!
I think a Neo 2 could follow my current Direto.
