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.

I would like to get the garmin 520 as my current garmin 500 is acting up a bit.
I would get Garmin Forerunner 630 and an HRM because it’s something I really want and this coming year is the year I get serious about running.
I would definitely pick up a Tacx Vortex. Winter means that I’m spending a lot of time on the trainer and this sure would make those long rides a lot more enjoyable!
Garmin 520 to replace my 800 which seems to be slowly becoming unreliable
I would get a trainer to keep myself fit through the winter.
A power meter. Any power meter really.
I like to have a indoor bike trainer i’d get a meditation pillow
A varia radar to use with my brand new garmin 520 🙂 !
A Garmin fenix 3 would be a great Christmas present
5 pairs of the New Balance running shoes. Why? Because I put a lot of miles on my shoes and I have even loftier goals for 2016.
I want to get me some Jabra Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds so the running hours become more enjoyable.
The edge 520. I’m using a 200 that I’ve had for about three years which is starting to play up (the usb plug is finicky)
A new Garmin Fenix3 would be nice. My old Polar watch is deteriorating by the day!
Fenix 3, to get more data option when hiking or trekking
Got to be towards the 4iiii Precision Power Meter. Santa didn’t bring me one cause the start up expenses for the kids moving to high school are a little bit steeper than expected, and they have to come first (so the wife says).
Fenix3 as the best looking multisport watches
I would love the P1 pedals. After 7 operations on my left leg it needs to be built up and these pedals will help me see the progress made
Forerunner 230: just need that to run faster 🙂
Would love a Garmin 920XT but Santa did not have in stock for me…
I need Garmin Fenix3 for the mountains in Hawaii.
I’d get a garmin edge 520 as my trusty old 705 has finally stopped working.
A Garmin Edge 520.
Hmm… perhaps a Garmin 520 to upgrade my 500. Or maybe to go towards a new trainer!
I would love to get Fenix3, as my old 320XT is not possible to be used as everyday watch. Though it was not even on my wish list because it is way over the santa´s price availability limit.
4iiii power meter
Give me the LIMITS powermeter!
A Fenix 3
Garmin Fenix 3 or a nice trainer 😉
I was missing a Garmin 1000.
I think it is time for my the get a new bikecomputer. I have been using the Polar V650 but i would like something a little smarter
I’d get a nice trainer watch (perhaps the new garmin!) so I can stop borrowing my GFs.. and a cycling helmet that looks good on me! Yeah, i’d get that too..
A new power meter probably. My new 11-speed tri bike does not quite like my 10-speed powertap rear hub
I’d have to put it toward a trainer, as I’m on the mend and ordered to avoid biking and snow sports for the next 6 months. 🙁
Just a powermeter for the geek I am and to train more efficiently on my bike!
Garmin 520
I would get a Garmin Fenix 3 to replace my Fenix 2
A Fenix 3 (great form factor) to replace my Ambit2
Poor me didn’t get any sports gadgets for christmas whatsoever, but I have my eyes set on a Polar V800…
Garmin Fenix 3, because my current GPS device tried to learn how to fly. But it failed. Don’t leave cat, open window and electronics in the same room.
920XT Tri bundle, for the serious training & first IM70.3
Any cycling trainer for those raining days in the winter….
I’d get the 4iii power meter. I really want to get into training with a powermeter.
Some dual-leg power meter.
A new Garmin running watch, perhaps a vivoactive.
I would probably put the credit towards buying a Wahoo Kickr to replace my crumbling spin bike!
It would be great to have Garmin Fenix 3 for hiking (and for everything else really!)
Would love to get a Powertap P1. Because crank based power although relatively easy to move between bikes gets tedious. Not to mention manufacturers dictating what cranksets and arm lengths come with a new bike.
A powermeter to help training for an Ironman.
4iiii power meter, so I can train with power outside, not just on my indoor trainer.
Surely a powermeter or a Garmin Fenix 3
I’d defo plump for the Fenix 3, which would give me an excuse to buy the new swimming heart rate straps, and save me having to decide on an activity tracker.
The Fenix3. I definitely need a new running watch, and one that has all the features and capabilities of the Fenix would probably be my first choice!
I would go for Fenix3 to replace my Ambit2S.
Still not sure why I did not get the forerunner 235 or fenix 3 ?
I’d love to grab myself a Garmin Edge 520 as I just happily sent back my Polar V650!
A Fly6, to try and stop the numpties on my commute!
I would like a Garmin edge explore 1000 so I won’t get lost. Also so that when I fall off someone can rescue me (or probably have a good laugh at my expense).
I’d love to get the 4iiii power meter so I can finally train with power!
Garmin forerunner 235 – Because my adidas smart run is getting pretty old!
I would like to have a Garmin Edge 520, I cannot really see the screen of my FR 920xt when I am down the bars…
Power meter for mountain bike.
4iiii power meter or edge 520 as I need more data, more metrics and more everything.
I’d get a pedal power meter, either a Garmin Vector 2 or the new PowerTap P1. Lately I’m inclined to the P1 because I’ll will be changing pedals a lot!
Need tot think about what to spend it on… So many thing that make me drool…
I’ll buy myself a 920xt for the new year if I win.
Forerunner 235 – because it’s still not released in Australia just yet.
I’d get another Polar V800, a daughter to father recommendation!
Fenix 3 for my father!!!
Garmin FR235 – seems to have all the features I’d want, the FR630 probably overkill for me
A smart trainer. As a cycling enthusiast and gadget nerd a smart trainer is on top of the want-list. Unfortunately do some unfortunate medial bills it’s financially not possible for me as a poor student.
The Fenix 3 as THE sports watch for 2016 🙂
I would get the Garmin Forerunner 630 and HRM. I really want to get more serious about my running next year, and this would really help.
Thanks Ray!
I would get a power meter to go along with my new bike.
Garmin Edge 1000. Dream about it)
Fenix 3, the perfect triathlon watch to help me train and reach my potential in races.
Ooooooh Fenix 3 please.
Using the wired uploading from te forerunner 210 is so oldscool
I would get a Garmin 520. I love my edge 500, but more information for page and better maps it will be awesome!
Fenix3 for me, because I would like to have the new features compared to my old FR620 to improve my technique! Thanks!
Hello Ray! Since I’ve already the Fenix 3 and the BSX Insight (by the way I got it from CleverTraining.com) would probably get the Suunto Ambit3 Peak Black.
I’d get a powermeter for my road bike. Not yet sure which one though.
Maybe some new trainer just to get rid of the old noisy one.
I think I would buy socks, lots of socks
Garmin 920 to upgrade my Fenix2
I’d like a Garmin Fenix3 to keep track of my trail workouts and prepare for the new year’s races.
A powermeter… So I could control my legs in a scientific way when not on my Kickr.
Hi, I’d go for fenix 3 or 630. Like to try something else, to my v800. Happy new year to you.
I hope I can finally get me this Forerunner 630…
I want 4iiii’s Precision Power Meter, because i want progress in my training.
I’d most certainly get a Fenix 3, because it’s a pinnacle of sport watches, has the “smart” capabilities, is future proof (Garmin IQ support) and it fits well to my style to wear it 24/7.
I will get a Garmin Edge 520 because my bike doesn’t have any dedicated GPS or cycle computer.
(I’m using my Fenix 1 for all my sport activities)
I would like a Garmin Forerunner 235. I’m training for my first marathon and could use all the help I can get.
Fenix 3. Cause its the bomb yo.
920xt to have a dedicated triathlon watch rather than using my phone
4iiii Precision Power Meter!!! Would be a pleasure to start training with a power meter.
I didn’t get anything for Christmas so I’d like a Garmin Edge 1000 for my race bike. At the moment I use a Forerunner 910XT for biking, but that watch doesn’t bring me back home when I get lost.
I’d get an indoor bike trainer to stay in shape during the winter months.
I would get the Forerunner 235 as a present for the wife. The combination of a (almost) fully featured running watch with built-in optical HR would be a perfect present for a wife who has recently starting getting serious about running.
a new suunto watch, ambit 3
I think I’d go for a Fenix 3, to keep track of my recovery from my broken fibula leading up to the Paris marathon!
Fenix 3 to use during ski season
I’d try to find a power meter that works on my fatbike 🙂
I really want a Wahoo Kickr for indoor training!
