The DCR Easter Bunny $600 Gadget Giveaway

easter-egg-giveaway

First off, no, I’m not giving away the Easter Bunny.  That’d involve going to a nearby shopping mall and somehow kidnapping the poor guy as he gets photos taken with small children.  And I’m pretty sure that’d be awkward for everyone involved.

Instead, I’ll be like an Easter Bunny – and some lucky duck (or bunny as it may be) will get their gadget wishes fulfilled.  No searching for semi-rotten poorly water-colored eggs required.

The winner will get a $600 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 HR, to a Fitbit Blaze, a pair of Hawaiian themed underwear (yes, actually) to the WatTeam Power Meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer.  Whatever floats your boat.

How to enter:

Simply leave a short description of what your training plans are for the weekend ahead – with or without the bunny.  Note that eating chocolate eggs is totally valid nutrition.

The reason you need a short description of ‘what’ is that if you just put a simple one word answer (i.e.5k), 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 Monday, March 28th, 2016 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.

  65. Ryan Guisewite

    Since the weekend has already passed, this coming up weekend, I will be exercising my legs chasing around my children. Hopefully I’ll be able to get around to a nice long bike ride soon.

  66. I’m definitely in the need of upping my running days. So I’m aiming for a couple of miles at least 5/6 days out of the week. And continuing taking yoga classes 3 times a week 🙂

  67. Paul

    Hmmmm ….. not much regarding training plans, mostly recovering from jetlag and post-vacation blues.

  68. Niklas

    Riding a TrainerRoad training and a short, sunny run

  70. raphael

    20K flat + 8K mountain tomorrow, then chocolates for the rest of the week.

  71. kermit262

  77. Rhonda

    A lovely 1 hour run along the river in Austin.

  78. The REAL Tim

    Was supposed to run 14 miles in the hills, called it a day after 10.

  79. Paul McGrath

    Clearly eating eggs & Hot Cross Buns would be the priority, but I am also out for a 10km run, 40km bike and am hoping to slip in a swim!

  80. Rien

    Just eating easter eggs, tomorrow’s another day!

  81. Mark

    Weekends plan was a couple of hours Saturday then 60-80 miles today.
    Reality:
    Sat – windy and rainy but did an hour hills reps.
    Sun – 5 miles on the MTB with my 5 year old. Best ride ever send her furthest distance.
    Today – gardening, re-sealing bathtub, walk dog then 1 hour hills again.

    At least it partly offsets the chocolate!!!

  82. Alex from England

    Short run, long bike and ultra eating of Leg of Lamb, all the trimmings and mch chocolate. It is a scientific impossibility for to to burn more calories than I consume at my mother’s on Easter Sunday.

  83. Andy Hayes

    Long Bike (90miles) on Easter Friday.
    Rest day Saturday (by rest I mean move the kids rooms around – tough day)
    2 hours on the turbo trainer Sunday then 8 mile run off the bike.
    Long swim on Monday followed by sorting out the things the kids don’t like about their rooms.

  84. Regina

    My plan was to go on a strenuous backyard Easter egg hunt followed by some ham-induced stomach stretching.

  85. TaliaRose

    Training Plan for weekend: Dark Chocolate Easter Eggs. lots of them.

  86. Shannon

    Some super sweaty hot yoga and and “run”, yes it requires quotes when you’re coming off an injury.

  87. Rolf

    My training consisted of eating every single thing in sight, and 20,000 steps around an amusement park!

  88. Peter

    Run, run, run. Its nearly spring marathon season

  89. Johan Beetge

    The weekend involved going back to my home town, putting in 90km ride and 2kms run off it. A nice casual 14km along the beach on Sunday. I also got to test out my new DHB wetsuit in the open water!!
