I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays. But for those unlucky elves who received a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.
The winner will get a $500 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime. By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell. If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the new Garmin Fenix3 to a BSX Gen2 Insight to a random pair of socks to the 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat.
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what product you’d get and why (but don’t worry, you can change your mind later if you win).
The reason you need a short description of ‘’why’ is that if you just put a simple product name (i.e. A360), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Thursday, December 31st, 2015 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

Polar V800 Black GPS Sports Watch so my wife would get my M400.
I’d love to get a proper indoor trainer but can’t afford one.
The Fenix 3 so that I can continue running while my pregnant wife can see where I am and sent me notifications and I can find my way back.
4iiii Precision. After 20 years break from cycling I’m beginning my return to the sport with a 140km sportive and Precision is part of my pacing plan.
I’ll have a Forerunner 630 please !
I’m satisfied with my polar M400 (until next generation watches) so most likely a Tacx Vortex…
I’d like a Garmin Fenix 3, because my TomTom Multisport doesn’t fit my outdoor needs.
Garmin Fenix 3. New season of running and hiking is just about to start. 🙂
I would like to get a Garmin Fenix3 black with the New HRM-Run!
The garmin fenix 3 saphire edition, so nice watch !
A Garmin 520 to replace my old 500
I would buy the Powertap P1s. Seems pretty reliable, but the ease of fitting between different bikes clinches it for me over the 4iiii’s and the Riken
Garmin tracker for my girl
Mostly likely a fenix3
Hi Ray,
I would like to get a garmin forerunner 630 in order to analyse my running and to get better results.
Thank you and. Happy holidays
Since I am in charge of my own sports purchases (i.e noone gives me anything) I would choose something that I would *not* get for myself anyway … most likely a BSXinsight. Not to fill a need, but to have a new toy to play around with.
Will definitely go towards a pair of Vector or equivalent pedals, seems like a much better way to train and with 3 bikes, would have to be able to swop them with relative ease.
The Fenix 3 because I want to see if it work better than my old Fenix 2.
I’d get a Tacx Vortex Smart. I’m sure it’ll make my trainer sessions fun…!?!
Garmin Epix…. Because my Suunto Core simply can’t do the same tricks as the epix can.
garmin fenix 3
best trail runner watch
Garmin Fenix 3 for me!
Bought a couple Mio Links for christmas. Gifted one. Mine died the first time I tried to charge it. Called and mailed Mio but so far, nada.
I just want to get rid of my stinky chest strap.
Fenix 3!!!!!!!!!!! and power meter
F3 for me, I like to run the trails, especially the ones with no markers or maps! Plus I’m sick to death of carrying my 76CSX around.
a Fenix3 for hiking would be perfect!
The fenix 3 to replace my battered 910XT.
Garmin Fenix 3! It would definitely increase my participation in other sports activities!
Gotta be some Powertap P1’s. It’s about time I started playing with power!
Yep, Fenix 3 here. Cheers
If you choose me I will buy one of the indoor bike trainer because “the winter is coming”. 😉
I would buy a new Garmin GPS watch because mine is getting old and slow
I’d definitely go for a Garmin 630 – parkruns are the gateway drug that got me off my backside and onto the road. Combine that with a withings wireless scale to keep tracking the progress 🙂
Still lack such a basic thing as a GPS watch so I would go for the Suunto Ambit3 Peak Black.
With money I would probably buy the fenix3. I would be a happy runner. 😉
I want the new Garmin scale. I geek out on my data and would love to add weight tracking to the mix.
I’d like to try 4iiii powermeter.
I would give the vivosmart hr a try though first insight you let out are not so enthusiastic… would be interested in the continuous hr monitoring.
Vivosmart HR and garmin scale. To wear as tracker daily and to replace my old Tanita
Edge 1000/520 since my 705 is getting slower!
Fenix 3 as not fast enough to complete ultra before 220 runs out of batteries (and it’ll help when I get lost)
I would get a Fenix 3 for tracking and everyday use. While I do mostly running and the Frnix is probably overkill for it, I prefer its design for everyday use over the competition.
I want the new Garmin Fenix 3 Tri Bundle. My forerunner 310 is in very bad shape.
I’d get Garmin edge 520 or simple power meter.
Garmin Fenix 3, I would like try a very good product,
ciao,
Andrea
Garmin 920xt, I really wanted a triathlon multisport watch as a training aid seeing that I currently don’t have a training watch at all! I’m currently saving to splurge on one as soon as I can.
I want the BSX Insight only to find out after 2 weeks that (again) too much data gets boring fast.
I’d love a power meter!
A Garmin 630 would be on my wish list to help me get the best training for the London marathon.
4iiii power meter cause I’d like to starting training with power and I love statistics 😀
I’d love a power meter. It would better help me understand how hard I’m training
I would wait for spring and hopefully get a new Fenix 4 or 930XT.
Definitely a power meter, which one still be decided on, 4iiii looks interesting. A replacement for my 10 year old trainer would also be welcome.
Give that “Winter is coming”, I think it would have to be a smart trainer. Could also do with a new power meter….. *crosses fingers*
Polar M450, because right now I am cycling blind about my speed :\
I could reaaaaaly realy need a pair of new socks 🙂
(but ofcourse i’m happy with a fenix or powermeter aswel :-P)
I would get the Garmin Fenix 3 because my current forerunner 620 doesn’t track cross country skiing.
I would like to get Garmin Fenix3 to replace my Garmin 225.
Forerunner 235, because my 410 won’t last forever! (and HRM in the cold months is ugly)
Topping my wishlist is a powermeter, a Garmin 230 and a Scosche Rythm+ – I would love to lose my chest strap!
Another great one by Ray !
Would get an Edge 520 most likely.
I’m impressed with what Wahoo is doing, I’d really like their new bike computer, Elemnt.
I would get a Garmin Edge 520 or Kickr Elemnt.
Thanks for your amazing site! How did I mange before finding it!
Dear Santa I would be stunned if you bring me GoPro HERO4 Black 😀
A trainer!!
Polar V800, as my current Polar is asking for a retirement leave.
A Wahoo Kickr trainer would be awesome, to be finally able to use it with Zwift and do some short but well exploited sessions, at least until the daylight time is back until the late afternoon. This year I’m going to try the 400k and 600k Brevets, and really need to get in shape so at least I don’t have to worry about the legs… just nutrition, lights and sleep :). Thanks Ray!
A 4iiii power meter. Or a Fenix 3. Or an Ambit 3 Peak…or…
I would get a Garmin Edge 1000. I’m always getting lost.
i wanted the fenix3 for my wife, and a garmin bike computer for me.
Garmin 920xt tri package to upgrade from my 910xt
Garmin Fenix 3 will be a great upgrade for my Forerunner 610.
Fenix 3 – I tried a couple of triathlons this year and would like to do some next year.
Need a Powermeter. The 4iiii Precision would be fine. I start in my second year with my bike. Should be the best year for me 🙂
A power meter. But not sure which one…yet.
A Garmin 920xt, because my good old 610 cannot handle power data.
I would go for a Fenix or an Ambit for the long battery life. My 4 years old Timex Run Trainer is a bit short for long trail running races!
The 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter! Training with “The Force”….errr…with the Power!
I have my eyes out for a power meter. Still in doubt over which one…
Probably a second trainer, seeing as the missus has commandeered mine for the winter.
It’ll be the Garmin Fenix 3 for me.
bePro Dual Side Power Pedals. the more I use my 4iiii precision, the more I feel need for dual sensor.
920 XT tri
Garmin Forerunner 920XT for me.
Either an indoor trainer for me or a new Garmin watch for the boyfriend.
I’d get the garmin 630 because the touch bezel on my 410 is driving me crazy.
I think I’d get the fenix 3 to upgrade my old 910 – but its a tough call. The 4iiiis power meter looks good, or I’d put the cash towards a hub based power meter. Oh man, I need to think more about this.
Asked for a powermeter, got a multimeter!!
A Wahoo Kickr for me, so I can train at night
I’m getting an FR920XT or a FENIX3 to replace my soon to give up FR305.
I got a 235 (from Clever Training) which was great, but I’d get a Garmin Swim to encourage me to swim more and a BSX insight, just for fun.
Probably a second PM for my TT to avoid swapping between bikes
Garmin Epix watch as it has navigation features that can be useful to me during mountain hiking.
Thinking of getting into ultra running. Would love a Fenix 3.
I would choose the Garmin Fenix 3 to keep me motivated and help achieve my fitness goals.
I wanted a Withings Activite Swiss to go with the Wife scales I bought my wife
A powermeter (most likely the P1). Without surpises, nobody pick up this thing in my widh list.
Tacx Neo
I would love some bike rollers and a couple of hr fitness trackers for the missus and me..
I want the Fenix 3, still using the old Garmin 910 XT.
