It’s definitely time for another giveaway. Given Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, it only seems right to show you some lovin’. But, it would seem sorta awkward to give you a present and not also give the person you love (or, at least kinda-sorta-like) a present as well. No?
Thus, I’ll be giving away two units as part of this giveaway – one for each of you. It’ll be like a couples giveaway, though you need not be a couple to enter or win. I’m sure everyone can find a loving friend that is worthy of a new GPS device (or similar). If you can’t think of such a person in your life, I’d suggest expanding your circle of friends.
Those who win will get two units valued up to $270US (each) from Clever Training. This could be currently shipping units like the Polar M400, or, upcoming units like the Garmin Vivoactive once it ships. As long as the value is under $270US per device you can pick whatever you want from Clever Training.
Here’s a few ideas to get ya thinking:
The Fitbit Surge GPS watch
TomTom Runner Cardio GPS watch (with optical HR sensor)
Garmin Vivoactive GPS smartwatch
Polar M400 GPS watch
Mio Fuse Activity Tracker with optical HR sensor
Suunto Ambit2 S GPS multisport watch
How to enter:
Leave a comment with: A description of your Valentine’s Day training or racing plans.
Simple as that! As usual, Clever Training is sponsoring the giveaway. Remember you can save 10% off anything they sell through either the coupon code or the DCR/CT VIP program, plus of course free US shipping for goods over $75US.
Thanks for reading!
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, February 16th, 2015 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The product will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming in stock.

Sufferfest ISLAGIATT with my wife.
My Valentines morning activity will be the Coomera Parkrun (5k) followed by a day at the water park with family
No rest for a doctor- sadly I am working Saturday so my Valentine’s Day is spent with patients. Thus 7 miles at 4am before heading to the hospital and if I can get out in time a late sushi dinner with my wonderful wife.
My training that day: skiiing (with my loved one).
17km run yesterday, 60km ride today, so tomorrow will be around 3km swim in order to do well in the Half Ironman pays d’Aix in 79 days!!!!!!

Short bike ride followed by dog agility class with my pup!
With Boston enjoying subzero temps, something like seven feet of snow, and another foot and a half on the way, just walking to the store and lugging back groceries is going to be an arctic endurance challenge. I may never get to use my bike GPS again. ;^(
It will be 1-2 hrs on the Turbo, and maybe a small run with the Wife in the afternoon (if its not too cold, she doesn’t do cold!!), building her up to try her first 5k Race for Life.

I live next to one of the greatest lakes in Europe! The lake constance. My training consist of running along the lakeside for 6.5 km and I am gearing up to take some stand up paddling into the mix.
nice to have another give-away-action. i always love that…
sadly, my training will be a 30min ride on my hometrainer, because i had a knee surgery in december and just started to walk on both legs without crouches. i hope i will be back soon.
you all have a nice valentines day and stay sporty…
Early morning 2 hour interval spin on the Kickr then out with my lady for a senior citizen style 4:45 dinner at her favorite restaurant. No we aren’t seniors (early 30’s) but that’s what you get when you forget to make reservations early!
156km training ride with the cycling club
Sweetheart 10k race
I already reached my mileage goals for the week, so I will be enjoying a recovery day.
Would love to win for me and my wife! We’ll both be one week out from the Uhwarrie Mountain run. I ran the 40 and my wife the 20. So training will be minimal and light — maybe a nice walk or hike in the mountains! Or I may try to tackle a 2300′ 6.5 mile out and back, but that is more doubtful! :-)
12-minute hill running interval in the morning.
Hiking with my dog and brothers later that day if they are available. Otherwise just me and my dog.

a bit of indoor cycling on the trainer, doing 8 x 30 seconds sprints with 1:30 minutes of rest between them
An hour on the bike trainer if it is raining or two hours on the road if dry. Hopefully that will be long enough to burn off enough calories that will be added back with a Valentines meal in the evening!
I plan to get an hour long mountain bike ride in for valentines… After that spend some time with my new son who is 5 weeks old and 2 year old daughter and of course my lovely wife!
