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.

I would buy the Fenix 5 or the garmin 645!!!
Probably an FR935, mostly to get my non-cycling activities into the Garmin ecosystem as well.
I’d get a Garmin Edge 520 because I want to sign up for Xert, and it won’t work with my Forerunner 910XT!
Enter the realm if powermeter, or replace my Polar V800
A smart trainer… because it’s the smart thing to do!!!
Garmin vector 3 – they are the best powermeters and one can switch them between bikes.
I think I’d like Garmin Vector 3 power meter because I’m now training with a indoor smart trainer but unable to monitor the real status on road.
Thanks Ray!
Garmin 935 is what I’d get!
Welcome down under DCR! For me a credit to clever training would go toward some power pedals as I’d like to do some more structured training to improve my fitness faster and more efficiently. Cheers
FR935 to have one watch instead of 2
I’m looking to rock a new Garmin 645 to replace my FR220. Tunes and HR tracking on my long runs, what’s not to like?
F5 – will be nice
Stages Dash, because i would like to complete Stages devices
DCR – you always make my day great (again) 😉 🙂
I would chouse some of power meters which would help my in plans to become a thriathlete.
Would go for Garmin Vector 3 – it’s the elegant power meter solution I’ve been waiting so patiently for!
The GoPro would be more than welcome ?
I would buy a Garmin 645 because I like running while listening to podcasts and I currently wear 2 watches for a run (also known as ‘doing a Ray’)
I’ll probably go for a set of Vector 3 PM…. as it’ll be most usefull toy for 2018!
I would love a gopro to record all my actions
I would buy Garmin Fenix 5 or 645m to run without smartphone.
A Suunto Spartan Trainer as a accurate GPS-device with a HR-belt, because the build-in-HR from the Suunto is not that good.
Running with music? Yes please! Garmin Forerunner 645 would be like Christmas in January!!!
GoPro to film my adventures
I would really like a vector 3 to see if my left – right balance is ok.
I’ll probably give a try to a Garmin watch for better off the bike fitness!
I want to get Garmin Edge 520, put it on my road bike and improve my riding experience. Hope I will get one.
P.S. Thanks for this giveaway
Would hope to have a watch to measure heart rate while cycling, so that I would know when to ease off, not to over cook my ticker. Also would consider a nice pair of cycling socks.
Hummmm, I think about power meter, probably Quarq!
Can I wait for the new Scosche HRM? Or maybe I’d like the newer Cycliq cameras. And anything left over, I’d pad out with running clothes.
I would go for a fenix 5. Mainly because it looks so much better than my 920.
Probably Garmin Edge 1030, but I’m open to discuss once I’ve win 🙂
Vector 3’s….maybe GoPro…elemnt bolt!?! So many options.
I’d get a newer Fenix. I have a Fenix 3 which I love but I’d like something a little slimmer with optical HR.
As I’m Australian does that me I get a double chance?
I’d probably get a power meter – maybe Vector pedals. Or a nice trainer…
Thanks Ray for the giveaway, I’ll probably test swim tools to improve my skills!
I would buy a F5 or spartan Ultra because I could use a new watch
Hi, my choice is clear: I’d get Garmin Fenix 5 ! the best sporttester i know !
A power meter for my Tri bike as I hate the Keo cleats on my P1 pedals!
Garmin eTrex for biking adventures..
I’d get a Fenix 5 to replace my aging Fenix 2.
Go Pro Hero 6, to record my mtb adventures! ?
I would buy the Garmin Vector 3.
GoPro HERO6, it’s time to bring something more than memories from those epic mountain rides.
A power meter for my Trek Emonda.
Garmin VivoActive 3 for me please.
FR935, because in the last year I haven’t seen better watch in terms of price/value ratio.
Wahoo Elemnt Bolt – because life of my bike computer is slowly going to the end.
For me it would be my first cycling power meter – a Garmin Vector 3. It will suit my list of sports gadgets – Forerunner 935, Edge 820 – perfectly and I can benefit from the training with power.
I would get a GoPro… please! ?
Thanks for organizing the giveaway. Wouldn’t mind a set of Vector 3’s 🙂
New Fenix as my 3 is looking a little tired!
I would go for the Fenix 5x !
Garmin FR645 looks like a winner. Music added to all the running smarts of the 935. Get deep in to podcasts whilst out on the road.
I’d get Suunto Spartan Ultra because I want a GPS watch for my ultra trail races.
a set off powermeter pedals, more data will be great!!!
Still quite happy with my Fenix 3, so I’d probably look at getting an Edge.
I would get a Suunto Spartan Ultra so I track my super cool rides and runs. Thanks.
Garmin fenix or a forerunner. I like trail running so the watch has to have a barometer
Garmin Fenix 5 or Forerunner 935
Because my Fenix 2 is on its last legs!
I would get a new Garmin running watch – I love my 235 but I’m sure there’s something newer out there!
Vector 3 for me DCR. Love to try them out.
I’d love a new Garmin watch – model TBD but probably a 910XT. Thank you for offering this giveaway and for all you do on the site!
A shiny new Suunto Spartan Ultra would be really nice.
This Suunto Spartan looks nice indeed. I have a watch of the size of a fridge and I am sure it is to be blamed for my poor sports performance. So I would definitely get a new watch.
I will put it towards the vector 3 pedals. I have the vector 2 ones but the thought of the new version’s improvements is getting me all excited.
I reckon an extra 20w excited 🙂
Hi,
as I don’t have yet a running watch, and as I am a person that couldn’t imagine running without music to keep me entertained, I’d like to win the new Forerunner 645 music.
Kind Regards
George, Athens, Greece
a 935 for me.
…or a new tri watch from Polar would be even better if you could somehow make that happen.
my V800 is on its last legs.
New power meter!
Suunto Spartan Ultra PLEASE cause its beautiful!!!!
I don’t buy electronic products anymore.
Feel your rides ! Ride your feels !
I’d love to try out the new bolt, and put some support behind a competitor to garmin, hopefully leading to better products from everyone!

The Garmin 645 Music so I can leave the phone at home finally.
Probably the Garmin 935 , or perhaps the Vector 3. I’ve never won a giveaway, so might as well go big, right?
I would go for a Garmin 520, love to have a cycling computer
Maybe a fenix 5.
peddle base power meter, probably the bepro not named bepro. Why? it’s easy to install and portable.
I really need a power meter. GARMIN Vector would be excellent 🙂

I would get a Garmin 935xt because my 920xt battery is starting to decline and i’m Not fast enough to finish an IM with it anymore =(
I’d be looking at the Vector 3 and or Wahoo Element, both could use some use.
I’d go for a new running Watch,likely a Garmin. Simply because my FR220 battery can only last for an hour or so…
I will get a hero 6 gopro to go hiking with.
I’d probably get some powertap pedals – been meaning to get a moveable power meter for a while
On running shoes!
i’d go for a Garmin 645 Music….if my feet have to suffer while running, my ears should too
Garmin Edge 1030 because I need serious navigation possibility. Thank you for the great site!

I’ve love to pick up Runscribe Plus for my future running power needs, and to try to fix the asymmetries between my two legs.
i would like a new suunto spartan ultra just to try it out after years of garmin
I would like to upgrade to a Fenix 5. Having to deal with a chest strap always is a pain at times, especially when you cant find the darn thing
I am not sure. So much to choose from. I’ve always wondered if replacing my Polar V800 against with a Germin (with optical HR- measurement) might be a way to go.
garmin 935 for my wife – more motivation to spend time outdoors training together.
Indoor trainer……..because……WINTER IS COMING!!!
I’d definitely get the Garmin vector 3! More excuse to get out and ride with another gadget.

I’d probably get a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt and perhaps a Tickr Fit.
Hi Ray. I’d really like a Garmin edge 820 as I’ll be moving house soon (to a different country) so I want to keep motivated cycling and not get lost! If I get this, no excuses.
