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 would love to buy the Garmin Fenix 3 HR.
A garmin 920 xt, because my old 910 is getting older…
Garmin Fenix 3 HR!
I Think I would get a GoPro Hero5, because I don’t have an action cam and have always wanted one.
BUT, there is a possibility that I would go 735xt
Toward new Felix watch that should be coming out next month.
A Garmin 920XT to upgrade my training.
I’d love to get a power meter
I would get a Fenix 3 HR

I would love a Pioneer Power Meter to help with training
Thanks!
Garmin fenix 3, for my first ironman 70.3 in 30 days
Vivoactive HR
Good combination of features, size, and cost
I would get the Gopro hero 5 to replace my hero 3 which decided to stop working last week.
I’d probably go for a stand-alone gps unit for my bikes. Although using my phone works, it has definitive drawbacks (lower runtime, taking pics along the way is a hassle), so I’d really love a dedicated unit 🙂 On the other hand, an action cam would be neat too.
I’d get a pedal power meter for sure.
Most likely a trainer for the upcoming winter…
A Garmin watch
Finally time to get a go pro!
Good chance I’d use it to (partially) upgrade to a tacx flux

Probably a bike computer.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR!!!!
As a Christmas present my girlfriend signed me up to run my first Marathon, so I need a more serious running watch like a Garmin Forerunner or Fenix 3 to replace my aging Vivoactive!

Probably a Go Pro Hero 5. or a new trainer, or something else, plenty of choice.
A new smart trainer to help shed these holiday pounds!
I don’t need a new watch anymore since Santa just got me a new one, so I would definitely go for a Go Pro…
I would get a trainer. The weather here in Finland does not encourage one to get out now, so training inside would be a bliss.
I would have to decide between upgrading to a 735XT watch (fun for me) or getting the GoPro (fun for me and the family)…
I would get a powermeter probably the PC1 to improve my training for the upcoming season!
Any power meter would be nice. At the moment I’m eyeing the Powertap P1S.
A Garmin Vivoactive HR to have always full HR control.
plan on doing more biking so garmin 520 or power meter.
Garmin Virb Ultra 30 to take videos during Haute Route Mavic Rockies this summer
I would pick up a Garmin watch or possibly a bike computer.
Maybe I’d put it toward a quiet trainer so I don’t annoy the downstairs neighbor!
Another Garmin Fenix 3 as mine is now looking very battered!
I’d probably use it for some tubeless-ready wheels for my cyclocross bike if available or for an upgrade for my aging Edge 500. Or spare it for a Fenix 4 😀
I’d love a Garmin Edge 520 to complete the cockpit.
I’d go for the Fenix 3.
My Fenix 2 seems to be working a bit funky at this time.
A new trainer, the tacx neo
Just another dude still lusting for a Fenix 3,,,
A new watch!
I would put the money towards a nee kickr trainer!
put money towards smart trainer
I’ll spend it towards equipment for TCR No5
possibly a new running watch or a smart trainer or both.
I’d love a dedicated device for soccer if that exists.
A new Garmin watch
I need to figure out if I would go for a Garmin Smart Scale or a forerunner 735xt or an Edge520. All of these Will Help me with my workout through 2017.
Merry Xmas!!!
GoPro 5 – ski trip ahead 🙂
I might just splurge and get a Fenix!
I would like to get a new Garmin forerunner, mine is 5yo now and I really want a new one 😉
I’d probably upgrade my current 235 to a Fenix variant.
Fenix 3 HR.
Kind of tired of a separate hr strap
Thanks for this – I would go for the Go Pro !
Or a new trainer !
Garmin Fenix 3 HR. I have a fenix 2 but it doesn’t play nice with my android phone, would love to have phone sync, daily tracking, and hr tracking
A 920xt to track my triathlon activities
I’d probably get myself a Garmin 735XT to suit my triathlon plans for next year.
A direct mount trainer would be lovely for my pain cave!
Softest possible shoes to try if I ever still could start running again, despite disk problems.
I would get wahoo kickr. Time to upgrade the old computer. Simply can’t handle the wires anymore. Thanks Ray and Mrs. Ray.

Wahoo kickr desk and a new turbo! That d be cool!
A power meter for sure.
Garmin Fenix 3. Hanukkah Harry just doesnt understand how awesome it is!
The Garmin Edge 520 as THE bike computer
I’d go with some P1 pedals or C1 chain rings. They would look excellent on my new bike. Thanks!
Fenix 3 for sure. Great watch for all my Sporting in the new year.
My old faithful Edge 500 maybe need retirement.
Ah, that’s easy: I need a new Garmin Edge 1000 and the why is easy also: because I don’t have one yet!
It would a tough choice between the Garmin Fenix 3 HR for hiking/sking or the PowerTap P1 pedals for biking power meter.
Most probably one (or a pair) of Powertap P1 Pedal… Need to validate the power displayed by my Kettler bike… and then mount them on my road bike !
Misc Garmin
I’d probably put it towards a power meter.
Garmin 735. My Fenix2 is slowly giving up and I would like something with optical HR.
Taco Flux to help me not DQ my next 70.3
A GoPro for the mountain!
I’d go for some Powertap P1 pedals. 🙂
My tough choice would be either a Garmin Edge 820 or the Virb 30. 😀
I’d probably go for the Fenix 3 HR!
Finally a Fenix 3 HR!
Without doubt the Tacx Neo, to preserve Christmas peace and quiet among neighbors and family ?
