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.

For sure a Garmin Fenix3 HR!!!
I would likely get PowerTap P1 pedals or a pair of shoes with a power meter, if any are released shortly!
The GoPro HERO5 would be amazing. It would be just for the fun of recording the crazy things we plan to do this coming year.
A GoPro Hero 5 to take great underwater pics during vacation.
i would buy a gps running watch since i don’t have one
A new Garmin watch. No wait, a GoPro Hero5 Black. Um, maybe a bike computer. Or how about a scale.

Not that I asked Santa for Christmas, but I could use set of Powertap P1
I really like the titanium Chronos, but I don’t think I could swing it even with $500 off. Two vivoactive HRs would be a smarter choice.

Some rocket-power running shoes
Powertap P1
I didn’t get the new Garmin Fenix 5……..cuz it’s not out yet! 🙂
New fenix please
I’d get the Marc Pro Muscle Conditioning Device. The idea of being able to take training and recovery to the next level is something I’m extremely interested in.
I’d get a Powerpod power meter so I can easily switch across my quiver of bikes
Really wanted something with built-in heart rate monitor. Polar M600 would have been nice.

A Fenix3 HR. I have a Fenix (1) and although it’s still working well, it lacks a few of the interesting newer features and is comparably slow responding.
I’d get a new bike computer, maybe an Edge 820. My teenager son has just received his first real bike, and now he is looking at my 510 with lust!
Wait until he learns what a power meter is!!!
Maybe a polar v900 if that’s launched at ces 17, otherwise a forerunner 735/630

garmin 920xt, because my 910 is rarely function well.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR which is one device for everything I do!

I would go for Garmin Fenix 4 HR, the one to be released 🙂
I’d definitely get a new smart bike trainer. Getting annoyed with my “dumb” trainer. All of Ray’s reviews are making me jealous of everyone that has a nice smart trainer.
new power meter or a new watch
I’d pick up a pair of the PowerTap P1 pedals and finally start training with power.
I would update my Garmin watch to a Fenix or Forerunner 635/735.
Fenix3 Hr – and it would shave at least 2 minutes per mile off my run (well, as long as we’re dreaming here…)
