While meticulously lining up the above action cameras for some underwater tests this week I realized that somehow I missed April on the giveaway plan. I’ll blame the stingray for that, as clearly there’s no other explanation. But don’t worry, I won’t forget June…after all, we all know what happens in June! And with a massive ton of hot new gadgets on the market, I promise it’ll be EPIC!
And while it’s not technically May Day anymore, it is a day in May, thus one could technically still call this a May Day Giveaway (and I am). But no matter what I call it – it’s still a giveaway, and that’s what counts!
So in order to get folks all spring’d up, it’s time to give some stuff away! In this case, that’d be a $400 credit to Clever Training. Which, is enough to cover any of the action cams above (including the GoPro that I took the photo with) – or, any other gadget they sell, like a new Garmin, Suunto or Polar unit. Or you can use the credit towards a trainer or power meter. Your choice.
To enter yourself in, simply leave a comment below with the following:
To Enter: Tell me your next planned race (location/rough date) and the goal for the race. If you don’t have any planned races this year, then let’s go with the last race you competed and how it went.
Got it? Go forth!

For devices/gadgets/gizmos over $400, the winner can pay the difference.

Hi there, great give-away! My next race is on the 15th of june. It will be me first ‘Sprint triathlon’ with 500m openwater swimming, 20km biking and 5km running. My goal is 10min. on the swimming, 35min. on the bike and 19min. and about 2 min. in T1 and 2min. in T2, so an overall off 1:08. For a first race very competetive I think, but I believe it could be done by me (reading up on all your hints and tips ;-)).
Have a great weekend!

Hi Ray,
My “A” Race for this year will be my first Iron Distance (Long Course) Triathlon called “The Outlaw” which takes place in Nottingham, England. Named after Robin Hood, who was famous for stealing from the rich, to give to the poor. A great race that wins many awards for being friendly and well supported, something I will surely be needing to help get me through.
My target is sub 12 hours which will be a push, but I think my training is going well and I feel more confident every day. “If you don’t push yourself, you will never know how far you can go”.
Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend.
Garry
