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.

Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter is something I’d love to have
Garmin 645 – present for my partner who runs with music and also wants to get an activity tracker
Power meter!
Power meter pedals – always wanted to try power but never had the funds.
I would go for the GoPro hero 6 or the Garmin Vector 3.
I would choose a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, because I don’t have a decent bike computer yet.
I would put It towards a power meter!
I’d put it towards a Garmin 935 or a Fenix 5x for running and hiking since my forerunner 220 battery is only lasting 3-4 hours these days.
I’d like a ‘proper’ trainer to play on Zwift when it’s really really hot outside!
Vector 3, to do intervals outside…
Definitely Vector 3. Then my conversion to Garmin end to end would be complete. Maybe some new swim stuff too.
Thanks Rainmaker & CT!!
New power meter to fit on my new Ridley!!
happy friday. yes, I’d probably get the GoPro Hero 6 to capture some of outings.
would love a new trainer or power meter
Can’t wait to upgrade from FR 235 to 645, because of size, bluetooth sensors, barometer and – nope, would be the non music version ;)
An Elite Direto would be nice. Since the arrival of a new addition to the family a year ago, I’ve had to quit racing, and recently, riding altogether. So I would like an interactive trainer that will help me get back into shape once I have time to get back on the bike!
Fenix 5S, for tracking tours in the alps. Need something with a strong battery that still fits my small wrists.
I would get a gopro to make some skiing videos in wonderful Idaho.
La GoPro pour filmer mes sorties vtt et ski. Avec un peu de chance je gagnerai cette fois-ci
Since my vivoactive HR just went to the big gadget bin in the sky ? I’m in the market for a Garmin 645 music
Forerunner 935 for my girl friends running and swimming.
Garmin Forerunner 935, for more motivation in the sport.
I’d go with a pedal based power meter. I have so many bikes. Pedal power is awesome
A new GoPro sounds great.. my old one is somewhere off the coast of Kona after being body-slammed by an angry wave.
I’d likely get either the Forerunner 645 or the Fenix 5. I’m currently using an older forerunner and have been eying an upgrade for a while.
I like to have a Wahoo
Hope everyday is Australia Day for you while you are there!
a new turbo would be nice
bearings have gone on current one
Probably a 935 but definitely something with openwater swimming as my VAHR lacks this.
I’d like to get a power meter.
Probably a trainer to get back on the bike!
Garmin Forerunner 935 for my 70.3 Ironman this year!
I would like the new Scosche heart rate monitor. I have the older version and love it, but if I had a second one I could give it to my husband.
Cheers!
I would most definetively get the Vector 3. Purely from a suffering from upgraditus as my 6 year old Quarq still runs like a champ. Could do with BT connectivity though.
Probably a camera of some sort. VIRB? GoPro? Not sure.
I would get the polar m600. I love my fenix 3, but I want a dedicate and integrated android experience. Let’s face it, the garmin app store just simply sucks and there is a real lack of development for apps.
I’d have to think long and hard about getting a 935xt or Fenix5
I would go for a smart trainer, really will be good for me.
New KICKR Direct-Drive Indoor Bike Trainer!!!
Thanks!
GoPro Hero 6 to document all the beautiful rides I take on my kickr!
I would replace my aging Computrainer with a Kickr or somesuch.
Probably a Garmin edge, since my bike computer really needs an upgrade! Thank you!
I’d likely get a Garmin FR645M — don’t listen to music often, but when I do, don’t want to have to carry a phone.
I’d probably put it toward a new GoPro – but which one??!!
The credit would go towards a new Wahoo Kickr Snap if it were up to me!
I would get either the GoPro Fusion camera or Garmin Vector pedals.
Another kickr. Really regret selling my first gen
For sure, a good trainer couldn’t harm, or maybe…
I would get the Vector 3. I need power for my training.
I’d buy Watteam Powerbeat power meter. The need to know my power is now almost all consuming,
Awesome. A set of vector pedals so I can start training with power.
my 920XT has served me well for 3+ years, but is starting to show notable signs of age. Perhaps a new 645M would meet my needs. Otherwise a 935.
Thanks DCR! Not only do you do our thinking for us regarding tech purchases, but also THIS :))
If I were to go nuts, I’d shoot for the new Tacx Magnum treadmill.
I’d get a Garmin Edge. I went cheap last year and got an FR235 thinking that would cover all my needs (running, cycling, mowing the lawn, etc), but it just doesn’t quite cut it for cycling given you can’t see the watch face when in the drops.
Thx for the giveaway and all you do, Ray!
The Suunto watch looks cool hence why I would like to have it :)
Thanks for the giveaway Ray! I would probably get a VivoActive 3 or FR 645 Music, as well as a dual ANT+/BLE heart rate monitor. I’m still rocking my FR60 for my running and spinning workouts, it’s time for a serious update :)
I’d get a GoPro most probably:-)
I would get Sunto Spartan Ultra, simply to compare its latest development with my fenix 5
I’d love to get a new Garmin Edge, probably just a 520 or 820 because I’d love the ability to mobile upload my rides!
I would go for a Garmin 820 bike computer, because my old 705 doesn’t show my power values :(
I would get a Garmin Forerunner 935 to update my old Garmin.
The Garmin 645 watch to replace my Fenix 3
I would buy a new Garmin watch to replace my old Fenix 2.
Probably a Suunto Spartan – the HR baro model!
I would get a set of Garmin Vector 3 pedals because….we need more power!
Hmmmm….soooo many goodies to choose from. Action cam like a GoPro, Garmin FR645 with music, or maybe a new Edge to replace my ancient 510.
I would have a Garmin 645. I really like the idea of running with music and I never take my phone with me. But it doesn’t matter because I never win…
so maybe this time ?
I’d probably get the vector 3, so I can see how hard I’m working on the bike.
Pedal based power meter, like vector 3, would be pretty awesome
A POWERBEAT 2-Pack…one for the Road Bike and one for the TT-Bike :-)
Fingers crossed
Power meter to work on consistent intervals
I would love to get my hands on the Fenix5, but would likely opt for two VivoActive 3, since my owner (aka my wife) would like one also…
I’d grab the Wahoo Climb once it’s available. Make the Canadian winter more interesting on the indoor trainer!
I would probably go for the new Suunto Spartan because my ambit 2 is outdated. But hey, a new Tacx is also welcome ;-)
I’d probably get the Vector 3 power meter because I’ve always been concerned about my left/right balance
I’d get a power meter like the Favero Assioma, I’m addicted to metrics.
I need power! Garmin Vector 3 please
I would get a brand new Edge. Tired of using my watch for display when on the bike.
Hello,
I’d go for a running watch. Maybe :)
Take care
Jurgen
Bloody ripper, I’d take a garmin 645 or 935!
I would go for the Forerunner 645 music. No more smartphone needed.
I’d love an Elite Direto to replace my trusty Elite Turbo Muin…
Easy for me.. I’ve been lusting after a GoPro Hero5 Black + accessories for a while now, I’d ride and jump and swim and play my way into 2018 with it!
Garmin Vector 3 probably to be able switch power meter between my bikes
I would put it towards SRAM eTap and a new chain :)
I would have said a fenix 5x but I just bought one and it is amazing!! So maybe a power meter to go with it.
I’ll probably use it for new watch because the battery of my current one is dying when it’s cold.
The new Scosche Rhythm24 will definitly be in the shopping basket when it’s available. As there’d be some coins left, it might pay for a new Garmin on the Bike (with better battery than the 520 hopefully). The Wahoo Climb is also an option – but who knows when this will be available (and indoor season is likely over then).
Definitely got my eye on the polar m430
Upgrade the ‘running’ watch to the garmin 935xt.
I would have to go with a Garmin VIRB action camera.
Thank you for this! I would use the credit towards a power meter.
A wetsuit. I am training for first tri and don’t have one.
I’m in the market for a new PM, probably the Vector 3
I’ll really like a brand new Fenix 5 to replace my spoilt Fenix 3!
I would like to go for the garmin forerunner 935.
Thanks for the giveaway. I’m considering replacing my 920XT… so might be a good opportunity !
I would buy the children at my daughters running group an entry level running watch each to help them with their training.
I would get a GoPro Hero6 Black to document mountain bike rides with my kids who have just started mountain biking
I would get the new Scosche and a GoPro. My old Scosche armband is worn out and I want a longer battery life.The GoPro, to take photos and video of my upcoming 55K trail race in Antelope Canyon.
garmin 935xt
I’d love a GoPro.. Always wanted one to film my daughter running around.
