It’s a day in May. No, not May Day. That, according to Wikipedia is May 1st. Rather, it’s May 20th – which I reason is 20 times better than May 1st (albeit, less awesome than May 5th). Why’s it better? Because I’m giving away gadget awesomeness. I originally planned to give away the Garmin FR935 GPS watch, the backorder is basically down to almost nothing. But then I figured – you can choose anything you’d like. Perhaps you’re more of a cyclist, or you just want a large pile of compression sleeves instead. Your choice.
Speaking of coverage – if you didn’t see my tweet yesterday, there’s a BOATLOAD of sales on right now (both from Clever Training as well as others). The best deal being 30% off the Garmin FR735XT GPS watch. But also some solid 20% off deals on power meters, trainers, and 25% off on Suunto gear. The full details are here!
In any case, 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 that Garmin FR935, to a random pair of socks to the PowerTap C1 power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. With that kind of credit, the world is your oyster (except…they don’t sell oysters).
How to enter:
Simply leave a note about what athletic adventures you’re up to this weekend. Easy as that!
Oh – and you’ll likely avoid the SPAM filters if you’re more detailed than just the word ‘run’. Nobody likes to get sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017 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’ve been doing an easy run around hippodrome de Saint-cloud, recovering from trail des cerfs.
For this weekend: one four-hour mountainbike endurance session on my home trails, about 1,100 metres of total elevation gain, mostly on single trails, without riding anything twice. And the one skills session, would like to make some progress on endos in tight switchbacks.

So far my only sporting activities have been watching my 11yr old daughter’s field hockey game. But I plan on a 10k run later
Bangkok heat and humidity means not a very physical weekend for me, so I’m thinking a day of the “Video Game Workout” is in order: pick a game (this weekend is Saints Row IV for me) and set a timer for 50 minutes. Play the game until the timer goes off. Then do 10 minutes of simple body-weight exercises like pushups, squats, lunges, etc. Repeat all day until I’m done with gaming for the day. :)
