The ‘Anything On My Recommendations’ List Giveaway!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pick any gadget that’s on my ‘2014 Winter Sports Gadget Recommendations’ list and call it your own?  Yup, I agree.  And, so does Clever Training.  So they’re offering up to one lucky holiday duck just that.

Be it a new GPS watch, or a super-high end trainer – it can indeed be yours.  It’s like the Price is Right Showcase of sports technology products.  Minus having to guess the price or pay for it.

The rules are simple here, simply drop a comment below with the following:

To Enter: The details of one workout or race that you’ve got scheduled between now and the end of the year.

Simple enough?  Good.

The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, December 8th, 2014 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time.  I’ll be giving you one device of your choosing from the list from Clever Training.  Winner will be chosen at random and announced on roughly Tuesday, assuming the interwebs work in London for me on Tuesday.  One entry per person.  The product will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately assuming in stock.

This giveaway is sponsored by Clever Training, which I’ve got a great partnership with.  As you probably remember, by picking up sports technology gadgets from Clever Training you support the site.  And on top of that, all DC Rainmaker readers get an exclusive 10% off all products they sell (basically every sports tech company/gadget/device) using coupon code DCR10BTF or now via the VIP program.  Plus, there’s still tons of Black Friday-type deals going on. And most of all, by using Clever Training you support the site in a big way – so I appreciate it!

Have a great weekend all!

    Nyc 1/2 marathon

  61. frank hickson

    I am training for a half marathon in February (melbourne music 1/2 marathon in melbourne, florida). This coming sunday will be my first second attempt at running 9 miles without stopping. I am trying to go slow and steady then run the last few miles a bit faster (just because I hate doing any run without speeding up at the end). I tried a half marathon before and died at the 8th mile so #9 is a big psychological hurdle. My ultimate goal is in 3 years to do a full ironman. I am somewhere between baby steps and my first olympic/international distance right now…haha….so I have a long, long, long way to go…..

  62. Ivan Petrovitch

    I plan on completing the Tour of Sufferlandria at the end of January. It is neither a workout or a race, but rather it is more than a week of pure agony!

  63. Tim

    A three mile run. Just trying to stay relatively in shape.

  64. Hoping to get a short night cross country ski in this week, and a long one this weekend… And will try to come up with a way to get some speed training in for a 5km Resolution Run Jan 1st!
