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.

Maybe lots of pairs of socks?
I would get An actioncam so i can rewatch all my bike falls 😉
Garmin 735

I would take the Garmin 735XT so I can run without the need of my phone to read my power numbers

I would probably get a power meter for my bike. Not sure which one yet, but I’d like to start tracking my power numbers to get a better idea on proper training habits. Thanks!
The current Garmin Virb
For me it’d be a GoPro Hero5. Capturing all the awesome images of my poor bike handling and unimpressive stats.

I’d get a power meter so I can finally start training with power instead of estimating it with speed/cadence.

A Garmin 735XT would look good on my wrist.
A bike trainer. To be able to squeeze a few kilometers inside when it is too unpleasant outside!

Didn’t get a new trainer because my wife said my current one works just fine.
A power meter! So I can train more effectively outside.
Edge 820 to finally update my bike computer

I will most likely use it as a part of a payment for a direct drivetrain trainer.
