Today is Friday – you made it to the end of the week. But more importantly, today is also Australia Day. I only know that because I’m in Australia, and the beaches are more crowded than the starting line of a marathon (still, I pretended to workout and went for a short swim). Thus, it seems reason enough to give away some gadget goodness. But fear not, I won’t be restricting this to those in Australia, or any other country. Anyone, anywhere on earth, is welcome to join as always.
Somehow it’s been far too long since we’ve last done a giveaway. I seriously don’t know how, because I talk about it almost every month with the Clever Training crew, and then somehow it slips off my radar. Perhaps we just need more holidays to have faux reasons for me to give stuff away.
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 almost anything they sell (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero6 Black, to a Suunto Spartan Ultra, to a random pair of socks, to the Garmin Vector 3 power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats). Also note, your credit is in US dollars, not Australian – otherwise you’d get less. Nobody wants less.
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. F5), 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 Monday, January 29th, 2018 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.

Tacx flux trainer. For those 9pm training rides. thx!
Thanks for this DCR. Garmin Edge, not sure which exactly yet. Why is an easy part – because at the moment I do not have a velocomputer.
I think I would go for a Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals…. Because power rocks!
I’d get a FR 645 Music… so I no longer have to run with my iPod or iPhone!
Thanks Ray!
Garmin Forerunner 935, racing more duathlons this year so it will be easy to deal only with one device for both running and cycling.
Most likely I’d get a Fenix 5 to couple my Tempe sensor to.
Hmm… probably a set of powermeter pedals (Vector 3?) because right now they’re a bit out of price range but with $500 credit, that could very well change :)
Hero 6 probably, as I think Clever Training doesn’t sell drones..?
Me? I’d get the Garmin Vector 3 Power meter. Because my cycling training is all about power (or lack thereof), and this meter would show me how much power I am actually lacking.
I would get the Gopro Hero 6, great for taking videos on the bike.
I’m not sure. So much to choose from. I’ve always wanted an action camera so probably the Garmin virb ultra 30, so I can film my rides.
I would probably get an action cam. I already have an Fenix 3, and while the 5’s look great, not really all that necessary to upgrade. But being able to share video is great!
Part way towards etap maybe.
Thanks for the contest Ray :)
would get a Fenix 5 to have easy navigation without using the phone
I would go for a GoPro Karma Grip Stabalizing Gimbal to get some nice footage while hiking…
Hi,
I would upgrade my Garmin Vector 2 Pedals to Vector 3.
gopro session will be a great upgrade for my bike thanks Ray!
The Forerunner 645 for music and audio playback
fenix 5 to kick start my 2018 year of the Run !
I would get Garmin Forerunner 935 because my 310XT slowly falling apart.
An updated/upgraded Varia radar. Anything that helps keep you on the bike has to be good.
Id look to get an updated Garmin watch
I would get a Quarq Dzero because I need power on my road bike! Thanks.
that new scosche rhythm successor looks mighty nice:) thanks !
I can’t make up my mind, maybe a new Fenix5 or Suunto watch.
I’d get a stryd. Want to start running with power.
I have waited long enough… it’s time for a pair of Vector 3 pedals.
Thanks Ray!
I was thinking about the new Garmin edge 1030 as an upgrade for my 520 …. decisions !! :)
Quarq power meter for the MTB.
The Rhythm24, I need a new heart rate monitor and want to go with a dedicated armband.
I need a new go pro! My 9yr old and I are just now getting into mountain biking and when we tried to get some video using our GoPro 3 it was so shaky that it was pretty much useless! Thanks for the chance to win!
Caleb
Certainly a new stylish tri-watch.Mine is getting a little bit old and ugly.
A new Garmin to be my new sidekick on the new triathlon adventure (my first tri-competition!)
I’d get a Fenix 5.
Garmin Vector cause I needs me a power meter to get mo powah!
I could use a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt. It will go well with my new old stock S2 2016 with the new Kickr
Pretty sure I’d go with a 4iiii crank arm power meter, or something similar. I love having objective feedback on how my training is going.
I would update my bike computer with a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt.
Random Generator, pick me so I can have a power meter please!
Happy Friday! Most likely a new power meter, garmin vector 3 could be nice!
The virb 360 because the ability to capture things in 360 degrees is like 6 times better than only capturing 60 degrees.
I would decide between a GoPro Fusion and a power meter, probably from quarq.
Garmin Vector please!
I think I will get a Fenix 5 as an update to my current Fenix 3
Hi Ray, thanks for this offer and thanks for your blog.
I would go for the Garmin Forerunner 935.
Why: it would fit most of my requirements. It is a pretty expensive watch, and so far, I didn’t get the approval from my wife…
A new pair of socks, my other pair has holes in the toes!
Thanks for chance!
Black Diamond Icon Headlamp shall help me on night trail runs.
I will buy myself a Garmin 935 to start the triathlon season right.
I would probably get an Edge 1030 because why not??
I’d probably put it towards a smart trainer as a fire destroyed all my cycling stuff over Christmas and you’ve got to start again somewhere!
Garmin Fenix 5….because I am in need of a nicer looking watch that I can run with too.
All right I’ll take those 500$
It will buy me enough towels for one week on zwift… or a tri watch… or a new wetsuit (do they have wetsuits?)
360 camera, it would be good to stay ahead of the curve ;)
I’m going for that Garmin 935. I’m falling out of love with my Suunto and thinking it might be time to jump to the Garmin side!
Garmin fenix 5x..You are the Best Ray..!!Come to Greece for a swim, best seas in the world!
Thanks Ray! I’d go with a Rhythm24, it sounds awesome currently and am excited to see where they take it. Cheers!
Thanks! Would probably upgrade my old Garmin Fenix as it’s a bit beaten up from all the activities.
Gosh, so much to choose from, mebee a Fenix or Varia or ….
Would want this GoPro Hero6 Black to see the scenic parts I missed out on when racing on my bicycle. Of course posting the images online to share it with everyone!
It’s about time that I get my hands on a FR935. This chance is a perfect opportunity. Thanks!
I’d get Garmin Fenix 5 sapphire!
Garmin FR 935 would by my choice. Love these stuff and would replace my “old” FR 910.
Milan
I’d really like to have the Garmin Vector 3 dual side power pedals, because my Powertap’s are destroyed two months back. :-(
I’ve managed to kill both my 735xt and 910xt this week. Swimming is the culprit on both occasions. So I need a new watch, and unsurprisingly I’m looking at a forerunner 935.
I know this is the competition post, but I went from a 910 to a 935 in December. Fantastic choice. Most surprising is the improvement in the pool swim autolap accuracy. Using it as my 24/7 watch too, and not having to mess about with the ant connection for upload is so much better.
Perhaps a stryd to start measuring power and see how well it matches up.
I’d like to buy a Garmin Verb Ultra, to shoot pictures of my rides and of my skiing activities
Garmin 935 for me!
I didn’t know they sold socks. Now I kinda want $500 worth of socks. :)
Nice to see this back after a bit of a break – I would a Tacx Neo because my trainer is old and noisy. I am sure it is about to die…
I would take the Garmin Vector 3 power meter to improve my bike training
Fenix 5X
I think I would put it towards a Fenix 5. I have been using a Vivoactive 3 and loving it after I replaced a Vivoactive HR, and I’d love the chance to move up.
I’d go for a power meter for my bike!
A Garmin Forerunner 935 on my arm should be looking damm cool :-)
Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire – because GPS on phone is uncool.
FR 645 Music :)
I would get a 935 for all the recovery stats.
I power meter will make me so fast and powerfull!!!
I would go for a smart trainer, really will be good for me.
Thanks!
Garmin Felix 5 maybe because I have a 3hr and would love maps, maybe Garmin scale or peddles, I’m trying to fill out my health data !
fenix 5x
This is great! I’d need a new trainer (would also be my first), probably it would be Elite Direto.
New scosche hr sensor looking pretty fancy
Thanks for holding this. I would go for the Garmin Fenix 5x. Why? Because I’m heading to Africa and want a watch with its capabilities before I leave. Oh, also I want to get back into running but don’t Reallyhave room in my life for changing watches at the moment.
I would go for a new trainer. Probably Elite Direto. I need something that produce less noise than the current one. Can’t do any train outside right now. It’s below freezing outside right now.
A GoPro would be swell.
Gosh, so many things to choose from. Maybe some kind of action camera?
I would like the GoPro Hero6 Black because my son is giving away his GoPro and the we have none.
Time to upgrade my 735XT to a 935 or new 645. Also, happy Australia Day from Melbourne!
Probably à Newcastle powertap. It would be à pedal based one : favero or Garmin !
Definitely Garmin 645 music! Need my jam for the run!
Garmin 935 because my 920 is acting up, OR towards Garmin Vector 3 to start training outdoors with power when the snow melts in North Pole!
I would love a power meter. Which one, I don’t know yet…
Would definitely go for Garmin Vector3!
I would get a Garmin 645 and so I don’t have to run with my phone!!
It would be the GoPro Hero6 Black for me, you never have enough GoPro when going outdoors :D
The new Scosche heart monitor as Pickels my cat chewed my old one!
I would certainly go for the latest Garmin Watch!
Hey, I would like to take garmin vector 3, power power power!
Awesome giveaway. I would get either a fenix 5x sapphire or the new 645 music. I need a replacement watch for my aging forerunner 25.
The edge 820 or 1030 are also cool as a bike GPS.
