It’s somehow October already, and it’s been months since the Giveaway Extravaganza, and far too many months since a standalone extravaganza. I really need to have more of these. Partly because I love giving away stuff. And partly because if I was smart I’d do more of these posts merely because they take all of about 6 minutes to put together. And in the case of this week, that means I can sit on this beach in Cancun drinking even more all-inclusive drinks instead of writing. Boom!
For everyone else though (except I suppose those either living on a beach or at Kona) – you’ve got the weekend ahead – which is certainly like sitting on a beach. Unless you’re racing, in which case it’s no beach.
For this weekend I (well, technically my friends at Clever Training) will be giving away a brand new Garmin Edge 520. They’ve got plenty of them in stock now, and one has your name on it.
To enter: Simply leave a comment below telling me what your training or racing plans entail this weekend!
Yup, it’s that easy! And yes, you can enter no matter where you live. Louisiana or Lithuania – all are OK! Someone from Lithuania actually won in the most recent giveaway.
Remember that by supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically everything they sell, unless it’s already on some sort of big sale. From GPS watches to clothing to nutrition.
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, October 12th, 2015 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly, not on coolness of your training or racing plans. Unless they are so epic they cannot be ignored.

Since its now Monday I can say my training was all about avoiding the heat!!!! it was too damn hot in So Cal over the weekend!
Well, since I’m only 3 weeks out from open heart surgery, my “training plans” involved a 3.5 mile walks this weekend. But I’m all signed up for Ironman Lake Placid in 2016, so I have that to look forward to!
Saturday:
10 km running
Sunday:
15 km running
Took my fiance for her longest bike ride ever to help her prep for her first duathlon.
Yet another blerching weekend… I really need to get my sh*t together!

The most important aspect of training … recovery
Bit of a cool down period for me after doing the 210km round the bay in Melbourne, Australia. Nice casual weekend ride along the coast on Saturday morning will do it for me 🙂

30 minute run for me – treadmill style. You rock Ray
My plans are (were): taking on the Great River Ride in Westfield, MA (which was awesome – such foliage!), and a #coffeeneuring ride in the “quiet corner” of northeast Connecticut – both accomplished!

5mi trail run
I raced cat 5 cx and won.. 🙂 Requested an upgrade and raced cat 4 and took second. Winning this would make for a great end to my weekend!!!
I am just running/biking and maintaining still no race plans deciding what to do next 🙂
Definitely some easy paced trail riding now that race season is over.
My plan of attack for the day is to start the AM with a large bowl of Organic Oats and berries to allow me to put 15 kms + of a trail run at Blue Mountain….still recovering from surgery 3 weeks ago but I feel great and I am happy to be alive again……Eat well and exercise often 🙂 I gotta go run now!!!
Getting ready for the Devil Dash on Halloween!
