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.

Yes, please and thanks!
I’d like a action cam (but I’m not sure which one yet). Thanks Ray!
I want it all… but mostly the Kickr Climb.
I think it would have o be the Fenix 5 – something for all-day adventures
My husband wants some climb thingy. He hasnt stopped talking about it for the past two months.
Power meter (Quarq?), finally!
Western Mountaineering Cold Weather sleeping bag, because its cold as heck over here and I still want to go camping!
A Garmin Fenix or a Garmin Edge – a bit undecided on this. A bike computer would be useful (upgrade from my 310XT), but the Fenix has it’s uses as well.
I need a power meter to go fast!
As the good weather and a new season is rapidly approaching, I would love to start it with a new power meter like Stages Ultegra Power Meter
Garmin FR 935 to train for my first marathon
Garmin FR 235 and an Altra or Skechers shoe. I have never tried them but very interested in them.
DCR thank you!
I would like to go for a Forerunner 645 Music and put a picture of Loki as a custom watchface on it. My daughter would definitely freak out on that…
Holger
A Garmin Fenix 5 would be quite helpful :)
Hello Ray!
If I won I would put the money toward a pre-order of a Scosche Rhythm 24. Then, I would put what’s left toward a Garmin 935. The reason being that my 910xt is starting to fail me, as are my chest straps. The latter I have always had issues with. I’d definitely be mounting my new 935 on a quick release bike mount, so having an external HRM would be ideal.
Thanks for doing a giveaway!
Kickr climb, because hard to train for alacatraz while living in Florida!
I’d definitely get a power meter
a new smart trainer for when my Flux blows up.
I d like to get a power meter to improve my training!
a new garmin with better mapping. Thanks Ray!
I’d put the $500 toward a new pair of hi-tech socks, maybe nuclear powered. That would help my running, right?
I would put it towards the Vector 3 pedals because, otherwise, my wife would kill me if I spend a grand on them.
I would opt for the Gopro Hero 6, perfect for taking videos of my toddler learning to ride a push bike.
Hmm.. either a 4iiii power meter or a Garmin Edge to be able to use the Xert Connect IQ app.
I would get the Garmin Vector 3 power meter because I can finally put to rest whether I ride behind my wife to check out her backside or she just has better wattage. :P
The GoPro Hero6 Black but it would be hard to choose just one….
I would get the Fenix 5. Super happy with the Fenix 3, but those extended mapping capabilities would be useful!
A garmin forerunner 935 would be good, who doesn’t need a new watch
I definitely want a FR 645 Music! I currently have a Vivoactive 3 now and would love music and a few of the other additions, namely wifi.
Quarq Dzero powermeter. This works for my use case and I can easily transfer to another bike
or sell. I also wanted to have flexibility to go 1X
I love my Forerunner 920xt, but I think a new ELMNT Bolt would be in order….
Wahoo Bolt cause my Wahoo Rflkt has finally kicked the bucket
I’d get a Garmin 645 so I could listen to music easily as I run.
elemnt bolt or a new tri watch
I would like to get Garmin Fenix 5, it would be nice upgrade from the current sport watch :). Have a nice day!
Fenix 5, i’m running a marathon for the first time this year, and that watch would be gift from God, which is called Ray :)
Need to upgrade my old 310XT, likely looking at the Garmin 645
Suunto Spartan Ultra or new Fenix baby! (the Fenix2 is showing it’s age)
Hi! Would be awesome to get a Tacx Satori Smart! Will help to survive the Newfoundland winter.
I’d buy a Garmin 645, because I want to have the on wrist music.
I might get a second power meter for my tri bike… got the first one with a nice discount from Clever Training :)
Forerunner 645. Please!
As my current training setup includes an old unsupported trainer all of my power on virtual rides is seriously way too low so a power meter would be in my sights.
Would love a GoPro Hero 6 Black to capture all sporting and other adventures in my upcoming trip to Costa Rica.
Keep up the great work Ray!
Element Bolt. Why, well, really why not? and probably a new Rhythm HR Monitor
Fenix 5x, so that I can get lost less.
A new Garmin something, maybe a 935. A Scosche Rhythm would be nice too.
Great news DCR have been looking forward to the Gadget giveaway. Definitively a GoPro Hero6 Black just in time for the trip to the Austrian mountains.
Garmin Vector 3. I’d love to be able to train with power on my bike!
Garmin 645 music. Training for half marathon!
I’d get the wahoo element bolt because it seems better than garmin offerings!
Feedback omnium, because all the cool kids ride them for cx
I’d definitely go for the Fenix 5
A power meter of course!! Still don’t have one :(
I’ve been eyeing up the Wahoo Fitness Kickr Snap to get training.
I’m running an Ironman in the summer and I could definitely use the versatility of the Fenix 5 as it can log training data for all three events.
Garmin 935 to replace my 235 which I love, but I’d also love to do All. The. Things.
Clearly not sure if I would get a power meter or a GoPro. Both are on my short list of things I would like to have but can’t justify the price.
I would get some Favero Assioma pedals, because that’s about the only gear missing on my bike. Or a Wahoo Element Bolt maybe… I’ll decide once I win :)
I would get the Edge 520 or a power meter to beef up my training tools
Garmin Forerunner 935. I need an upgrade from my 7 year old Forerunner 210!
Tempted to get a new Garmin 645. Really want there to be 945.
Honestly, not sure what I want. We’re expecting a little one in March so I’ve been trying not to browse bike stuff too much as it always gets me into trouble (got lots of baby stuff that we need to get instead)!
Either a trainer to keep me going when I don’t feel like getting outside, or a newer action cam to bring back snippets of my countryside rides.
I would put it towards a Vector 3
Therefore you should pick me
A power meter would make me fast
And then I wouldn’t always finish last
I’m looking into the Garmin Forerunner 645 as an upgrade to the HR – Style & Tunes are important after all
New Garmin watch, not sure which at the moment, but my Fenix2 is long in the tooth.
I would get either a Wahoo elemnt oder a powermeter, because my Edge 520 is starting to act weird, so it would need a replacment. and powermeter is on my long term wishlist… i don’t have one yet…
New Garmin Forerunner 645, so i could be phonefree!!!!
Possibly several dozen pairs of Speedo’s, but I reserve the right to change my mind.
Garmin Forerunner 645, because I’m still using the 220 and I need an update!
probably a heart rate monitor to watch my heart rate spike as equipment around me crashes
I’ve kept a Garmin fenix in my shopping cart for years, but haven’t been able to pull that trigger. I could also probably use some new apparel, the funk has set in a little too deep.
I’d go for the Garmin Vector 3’s I think Ray – must be better than the Limits PM!
Very interested in the new Sosche Rhythm + so I would pick up one of those
Awesome initiative! I’d get a bike computer :)
Mmmm… Think I would get a new Garmin, just not sure which one…
I’d put it towards a Wahoo Kickr, that way once I finally start Zwifting it’ll warm up outside.
I would get a fenix 5. I’ve had a 920xt for a very long time and, while it’s been truly great, it’s time to upgrade.
Probably a 935 or maybe an aero helmet
Garmin Vector 3 for me, I need power.
I’d go for the Garmin Vector 3. It would be great to have a power meter that could be easily transferred to any of my bikes.
Definitely the Garmin Vector 3
I will buy the new Garmin Fenix-5
I’d loe to get myself a new smart trainer for winter training!
I would get Garmin Vector 3s so that I could train outisde with power with whatever bike I want to use because they are so easy to put on and take off!!
I would get the Garmin Vector 3 power meter. Primarily because I want to harmonize my use of power measurements between indoor training and outdoors (I only get power from Kickr at the moment). And the Vector 3 looks damn sweet!
The watch band snapped on my Fenix 3 last night, what better excuse to get a new Fenix 5x?!?!
Oh, tough call. Since I’m looking to do a bit of a European (very amateur and low budget) cycling tour come March, I’m leaning towards perhaps a Garmin Edge 1000 cycling computer or similar (need to read up some), and then use the remaining credit for some other accessories like a helmet and some hydration gear. :) *crosses fingers*
Thinking about buying a new watch like Garmin 645 (music….)
I’d probably look at a power meter or maybe a more advance GPS watch versus what I’m currently using.
Probably the new FR 645 with music capabilities, because it would allow me to leave the phone at home :)
Definitely getting some fancy Garmin watch! Always wanted to switch to Garmin connect from MovesCount.
Kickr for sure! It’s cold and snowy up here….
Hi Ray, thanks for the giveaway. I’d use the credit for a Garmin 935 to replace my current 735.
If I were to win, I’d go for a power meter, because . . . train to power.
As an ancient Garmin user I would go for a Vector 3 pedals, because that is the point. The Power Point…
Sram etap group set
I would purchase a new bike computer (probably an Elemnt Bolt) to replace my aging Edge 500. Then I’d use the rest towards a new smart watch to replace my OG VivoActive.
I’ve just bought my first watch, a Suunto Spartan Trainer, and after years of swimming I’m expanding into running. I would probably get a footpod, maybe a cadence sensor for the gym bike and maybe some better shoes! Cheers
