There are many things in the world where one usually sits firmly in either one camp or another. For example, a few of life’s great dividers:
Boxers or briefs
Hot dogs or hamburgers
Bow tie or straight tie
Coke or Pepsi
Mac or PC
Paper or Plastic
White bread or wheat bread
And for you folks hanging out around these parts, there’s probably the most famous of all:
…Garmin or Polar
While the great majority of giveaways to date here have been Garmin focused, I’m going to venture over to the other side and giveaway a bit of Polar goodness…the brand new Polar RCX5:
Late last week (after I had published my in depth review), Polar approached me about giving away a brand new RCX5 to y’all. Initially they weren’t sure what I’d say, simply because I always buy my own giveaway prizes (you did know that, right?).
But, there’s one caveat to my rule – which you may remember from the survey results back in March. I had asked whether or not you would be in favor of giveaways that were for hard to get items, in cases where the company supplied the item. For example, the first time I did this was the Wahoo Fitness ANT+ enabled bike case, where I did a giveaway three weeks before the first units were available in the retail channel. In the survey, you overwhelmingly wanted me to give these things away when possible. By ‘overwhelming’ that would be 93.8% of you – or roughly twice the water temperature for the Boise 70.3 half-ironman I’m doing this weekend.
You’ll be getting the above box – literally, that specific box sitting on my turtle tank stand– which contains the Polar RCX5, an s3+ stride/footpod sensor (for measuring distance), and the Polar Wearlink Hybrid heart rate strap. That’s the fancy strap that works with both the RCX5 as well as legacy workout equipment that can read HR. No turtles are included, nor is the G5 GPS pod, in this giveaway.
All you’ve gotta do down below is tell me the answer to one of the following questions (not all of them):
Boxers or briefs
Hot dogs or hamburgers
Bow tie or straight tie
Coke or Pepsi
Mac or PC
Paper or Plastic
White Bread or wheat bread
Simple enough, right?
The entry period will run until Thursday June 9th, 2011 at 11:59PM Eastern Time, at which point I’ll close the entry period and randomly select a winner. Like the all my giveaways there are no restrictions on where the goods go to – so no matter where in the world you are, I’ll send to you. The winner will get a brand new Polar RCX5 Run Package (with HR strap and footpod). It’ll be sent out Monday morning when I get back from Boise and you should have it a day or so later – or roughly ‘a long time’ ahead of everyone else waiting for their orders to get fulfilled.
(Note: If you’re active duty military and deployed and are unable to complete the entry method above, simply shoot me an e-mail and I’ll get ya entered in. For those curious on how the giveaways work, here’s the deets. Thanks all!)

Coke, and that would be the original formula of course. None of that New crap they tried to pass off years ago.
Not so simple, but I’d go Bow Tie. Traditional. Respectable. Confident.

2 thumbs up & hands down for a Mac.
Gotta agree boxer-briefs, best of both worlds.
PC for work and MAC for the fun stuff.
Coke goes better than Pepsi with Jack.
Good luck in Boise.
Mac not to get confussed with the Big Mac.
Boxers or Briefs?
Deafinatly briefs, if one is to be trendy and wear skinny jeans than you CANT wair boxers. Plus I think spending my life in lycra means I am used to a…..well…lack of freedom down there
Hamburger!
Hamburger!
Boxers of course….free your b*lls and your mind will follow!!
Greetings from Argentina
Boxer Briefs and x86 rules
Thank you for the great reviews!
Coke or Pepsi: Coke until the release of New Coke, but I always preferred Peach Nehi. Now I don’t drink soda unless I’m desperate. I do drink a bit of espresso…
Paper!
Mac.. mac.. and a Bigger MAC please

Boxers, Pepsi and PC are the important ones here. And wood instead of plastic, maybe? 🙂
HOTDOGS!!!!
Straight tie! A bow tie needs a special kind of person to wear it. So generally a straight tie is best!

Coke or Pepsi? Neither – water
Bow tie or straight – straight, but only if I have to
Paper or plastic – both
PC, hamburger, briefs, wheat
Mac, with wheat brad IN a bow tie! No coke, please!
Mac.
White Bread, there’s only so much healthy I can take.
I agree with Shaun. When you got a Mac, you can’t go back to Pc. I switched 2 years ago and i am so happy to be on Mac !
Forging a MacBook aluminum case requires intricate design an high precision and so does the perfect workout schedule. Can’t wait for the RCX5
Burger and coke, always a good way spoil oneselves
