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 only 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 (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero5 Black to a Garmin Vivoactive HR to a random pair of socks to the PowerTap C1 power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats).
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. F3), 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 29th, 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.

I’d probably go for one of the newest Garmin watches.
I’d get Fenix 3 HR so during running I’d look shiny and chrome. 🙂
A powermeter for sure
Garmin Edge 25 for my wife and Vivoactive HR to replace my Vivoactive.
I don’t know what yet but with $500 in my pocket I will sure find something 😀
Bike computer with navigation to explore new grounds 🙂
I’d love the new Garmin Fenix HR!

My wife said the Wahoo Kickr was too expensive!

A Garmin Edge 820 to replace my 800
The Redshift Aero Switch Pack to finally be able to blast seriously with the head down. 🙂 Maybe staring at a Garmin Edge 820 meanwhile.

Probably a couple of GPS watches for my nieces who are both running cross country and track.
I would go for the GoPro Hero 5 black since I already got the watch I wanted 😉
I’d put it towards a power meter – probably the Powertap P1.
It would be a difficult choice, but I think I would chose a Fenix
A PowerTap C1 sure would be high on the list. Whoever wins, and everyone else for that matter, have a happy new year! Thanks to Ray for the best site on the net.
One of the watches for my wife!
I want a Garmin Felix chronos because it’s new and shiny 🙂
I’d get a Garmin FR 735XT – seems rather decent and leightweight at the same time…
Tri/multisport watch, so I can start tracking my swims!
i’d get a suunto ambit 3 cause battery lifetime on my ambit 2 decreased a lot.
I’d go for Garmin 735HR, it’s perfect for me!!!
Probably upgrade my old Edge 500. Merry Christmas !
A Garmin VIRB because I’m sure my rides are amazingly exciting.
To see how fast I really could or should go in the water: HRM Swim strap
Garmin 735XT will suit right my 2017 sport plans 🙂
I really would like to have a good power meter. But it is still on the budget range of a tiny bit to much.
I would go for a garmin edge bikecomputer
I would go for an indoor bike trainer. X-Alp is booked for mid 2017.
Fenix 3 HR
I would get a better gps watch for running. Prob. the fenix 3 or some other top end garmin.
Some sort of an indoor trainer with a brain
I would probably go for my first power meter.
I’d wait to see what is released at CES and decide from there. Thank you for the opportunity!
I’d like the new Garmin Fenix 3 HR so I can accomplish my first half marathon.
Tough one. If I have to strictly play by the stated rules, an Edge 820. But I’d rather wait and see if a Fenix successor is coming that might have base maps.
Garmin FR235 to replace my trusty FR305!
(maybe even a Fenix 3 HR…)
Happy Holidays everyone and thanks again Ray for all you do. I would definitely get my first PM – powertaps p1s.
Garmin 735 for sure!
I’d probably go for a set of Powertap P1 pedals!
I would go for a Fenix 3!
I would like to get a FR630 to update my old FR610….
An Edge 820 please!
I will get the Apple Watch. Its a gadget and I just want it 🙂 Wish health and luck to all.
GoPro Hero 5 Black. Still rocking a Hero 2 but would love a waterproof camera that doesn’t need a case with image stabilisation to streamline the post production process! Great blog/podcast/youtube!
I’d either get a GoPro to capture all my exciting trainer rides, or a power meter to improve my rides 🙂
A new gps watch will be nice… Fenix or Spartan maybe.
A powermeter for my Cyclocross bike!
I’d like to get Garmin 520 for my bike.
A Garmin Edge 820 to replace my 800.:P
I would love to win the Garmin fenix 3 to subtitute my forerunner 220. Need. More. Data!
Hi Ray,
Thanks for this opportunity 😉
I would get a powertap P1s pedal to strat using a power meter and get more meaningful resource, or to top off and get a nice triathlon bike.
Cheers,
Ben
Garmin 820 as my eyes are dead from trying to read four fields screen using the Fenix on the bike
I’d get a cheap 4iiii Precision Power Meter on Shimano 105, to raise my cycling performance to a highest level.
One of the Garmin triathlon or running watches.
Gopro I think!
Fenix 3 HR to track running and bike commuting
I would put it towards a Pioneer power meter for my wife’s bike!
Fenix 3 HR would bee nice gadget.
I’ll go for a PowerTap for sure. The C1 with dual-sided power meter will be great for my training sessions 😀
A Fenix 3 to replace my duct taped 610.
Probably the Fenix 3, although I’d like to hold out to see what comes out in the new year.
I think i’d go for the Garmin Forerunner 735xt – it’s about time i upgraded to a decent watch with optical hr 🙂
I’d get a Fenix 3 HR, I have a 920xt but it looks rather dated at this stage
I’d love a fancy new bike trainer
Garmin 735XT. I’m happy enough with my TomTom Runner, but it’s getting old and looking for something more sophisticated now.
Something to replace my battery fading 610
I need so many things… But I would probably choose some Oakley glasses so I can retire my everyday use glasses when I go running or cycling.
Perhaps a trainer
A Garmin Vivosmart HR+ for my wife to replace her old Vivofit.
I’d get the Forerunner 735xt
I would love to upgrade my Forerunner to a FR235!
The new tri-watch Garmin will announce at CES 🙂
One FR735 please and thank you.
735xt so I don’t have to worry about chest straps, especially on race day.
I’d be a Garmin 735xt to get me off the Christmas couch and onto the beach, ocean and bike – first ever triathlon coming up in March!
Fenix 3Hr
While I’m a little bored with 3j with the v800. But a successor would be even better.
I’d buy a Powertap C1, so I can measure power on my cross bike!
I would need an internal debate to choose between a new Garmin watch or powermeter… But I’d be glad to have one 🙂
I’d choose a yet to be released Garmin running watch with better optical heart rate sensor.
I would get a GoPro Hero 5 black, because all I have is an old GoPro Hero and I would absolutely love to have the extra camera with the screen and higher video quality. Thanks!
Garmin 520, hard to choose between that or a camera
A fenix 3 so I can work out how many mince pies I have burnt off………
V800, because i already have an Garmin 735XT. And would like to test a watch from another company
I would go for a powermeter. Pitty the Powerbeat isn’t available yet in Europe…
I’d spend it on a Garmin Fenix 3. This watch is simple awesomeness! 🙂
I plan to run a marathon, so i need a garmin watch for better training
Was hoping for a new gps watch but didn’t get one, my fault (definitely not my wife’s) because I didn’t ask for it so how could she know?
I’d definitely get a power meter/indoor trainer combo!
A fenix 3 hrm bundle to give me all the stats on just how poor my running ability is. At least I’ll look like a pro for the first 3 steps of my next marathon.,.
A fancy Garmin of course. Fenix 3 HR or 735XT.
gopro hero5 black!
I’ll go for the GoPro 5 hero black 🙂
Probably towards a Fenix 3 HR to replace the one I sold and am kind of regretting
I’d get a power meter. Maybe Powerpod. Need to start tracking power on bike workouts.
I would proberly go for a new gps watch and new running socks… because you never can have to many running socks can you….
A Fenix 3 HR as a perfect hiking wrist GPS
Either a NEO or a Quarq DZero for my gravel bike.
