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.

Thanks DCR. I’d get a Garmin Forerunner 935 to replace my TomTom Spark 3. Just because.
I’d get a Garmin Forerunner 935 because I’ve been meaning to upgrade for some time now.
Paying for most of a Direto.
I would get a Garmin activity tracker or maybe the pedals for my husband!
Before coffee it is too hard to decide. Maybe a power meter or edge 520 or hero camera. Those are the things floating around my head that I can’t justify purchasing on my own
Would love the Garmin Vector 3 power meter!
Gimme a Wahoo something or other. Or maybe $500 it enough to get multiple items from them.
While I’m not sure exactly what I’d get, an upgraded trainer would be nice…Bluetooth connectivity would be handy.
Either a Cycliq – safety of recording anything (& longer battery life than my GoPros/Virbs) or towards a nice Wahoo Kickr.
I would get the Hero 6 Black because my go pro is super old and I want the 4k!!
Fenix watch for sure.
I’d like a set of Garmin Vector 3 pedals. Been wanting to do power for a while, and with two bikes, I think pedals are the best way to go.
I’ d go for a forerunner 645 music.
Definitely would like a GoPro to get my son’s pov from his balance bike haha
I would love a Garmin Edge 520. It would be really nice not to have to constantly watch my wrist watch to track my stats when on my trainer.
I would get a Fenix 5 to start running with power!
I would get Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals to replace my Power Tap hub to have greater flexibility in wheel choice.
I’d get Garmin power pedals. Definitely!
What an awesome surprise. I would get a power meter, ever since I put the inride and have been using power on the trainer I’ve wanted to use it on the road too.
Happy friday/weekend.
I would get the FR935. My old 910XT is getting old, and new watch means more DATA!
I’ll definitely be upgrading to the garmin forerunner 645 with music. My forerunner 110, though trusty and always faithful, is having trouble keeping up these days.
Thanks!
I’d go with either a Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT (time to upgrade the old Garmin 500) or maybe some Garmin Vector pedals (I’ve got power on the Run, but not the bike yet!). Either way, thanks Ray!
Either a GoPro Hero 6 or a VIRB Utra to film my ride up (and down!) Haleakala in April…
Wahoo Climb to help get through these cold NY winters!
The new Garmin Edge model, just drool worthy. Then I can hand down my 520, which is still a great device!
Edge 1030 as I damaged my Edge 1000 at the end of last season
Been shopping around for a GoPro.
I’d buy a Forerunner 645. Looks like a nice update to the *35 series.
new smart trainer
I’m torn right now between the Virb Ultra 30 and the GoPro Hero6…
Have to go with getting a new smart trainer. Time for a fancy one instead of the old analog one.
I’d maybe get a Tacx Neo to replace my original Kickr. Since getting my Assioma pedals I’ve found that my Kickr is wildly inaccurate (high by ~30W, depending on temperature).
If I won I’d get a FR645 because I just recently started running with music, and the only thing I don’t like about it is carrying my phone.
I would get a new smart trainer
Thanks Ray! I’d like the Garmin Vector pedals. But it all looks awesome.
I would get Fenix 5 + Running Dynamics Pod
Intrigued by the Scosche Rhythm 24 to improve HR accuracy from my watch (and not a fan of chest straps while running). Need to find a few other things too!
Get a Garmin 645 for my wife. She is do for an upgrade.
I would buy a stages power meter for my road bike build!
GoPro Hero 6 would be awesome!
I’d probably get a small video camera to mount on my bike – for safety.
I would get Garmin 645 music. I’m looking for an attractive watch to wear all day and on runs.
I think I would put the $$$ towards a new power peter.
Definitely Garmin Vector 3 power meter, so I compare power values with strava’s friend in rides around Paris !
I will go for a GoPro Hero6 Black to record trails training, bike rides, snowboard weekends and surf sessions!
Vector 3. To put on a new tri bike! Ghanks ray and clevertraining!
A Nice GoPro Hero.
Either a power meter or maybe put it toward a trainer. Who knows?
Vector 3 all the way.
Any credit like this would be used for a new trainer
I would love to get the Suunto Spartan Ultra for biking, trekking and running activities.
I WOULD have said I’d get the Descent Mk1 … but I just bought one! So I’ll have to think about it…
I would get the Vector power meter… Just to confirm how mediocre my power output really is.
This would help pay for a smart trainer. I definitely need a trainer!
I would like to get some underwater footage to improve my swimming. So probably a go pro :)
Time to upgrade from my 310xt
I would get a new GPS watch, either Garmin Forerunner 935 or 645 with music! My old watch broke, and I’m looking into a new one!
A GoPro Hero6 Black would be nice. Love to take some video of my new bike.
A Garmin 935, because my dog trashed mine when I didn’t bring her along for a run and Garmin refused to cover it as a warranty item.
I would get a power meter for my bike!
I would get a GPS multisport watch. Either a Fenix 5, or a FR935, or maybe a Spartan Ultra. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d get the latest Fenix or possibly the Garmin Vector 3
Thanks for another giveaway Ray. Love your site.
I am training for my first marathon and already preordered the 645M to replace my 910. But, I am also planning to buy the new Scosche Rhythm, so I would use the money for that and I would love a GoPro Hero Session 5 so I can take some pictures while I am running around or cycling, but can’t afford that so I would actually get to buy that too.
Fenix 5, because it’s the best triathlon watch in the market!
I would buy a fenix 5s because it’s the smallest.
I would purchase a garmin watch!
A Garmin Vector 3 power meter. Because I’ve never had a power meter before!
Some sort of power meter. Probably Garmin Vector 3. I am currently powerless!
An FR935 would be nice to replace my Fenix 2, which is getting a bit long in tooth and occasionally throws or bad GPS tracks.
I would like to get the Assioma Pedal Based Cycling Power Meter., Don’t yet have a power meter and really need one.
I would select the random pair of socks because I always need a random pair of socks.
fenix 5! want one watch that can do it all (or most of it)
Either Garmin 935 or a powermeter
I have a trainer but it’d be amazing to have a smart trainer.
Of course I’m up for it, considering either the wahoo kickr climb or the Fenix 5x. The first is to complement my indoor trainer, the second would be to replace my Fenix 3 which has served me well, but is lacking on the latest Connect IQ stuff.
New Garmin
Garmin Vector 3. I need more power! Plus some way of quantifying my power output.
Garmin 645…because, why not?
I would probably pick up a bike computer and/or a better running watch to replace my Apple Watch 2.
I would put it towards Garmin Vector 3 pedals. I need to get back into measured training, i’ve been slacking recently and I think a power meter would really help me hit some targets!
Would love to upgrade my ambit3 to a spartan ultra.
I would go with a Garmin Vivoactive 3, to replace my ageing Mio Alpha.
Bonjour,
I’m looking for a bike gps. The garmin 920xt is good, but not very “efficient” in aero position.
I would definitely put it towards the Garmin Vector 3 pedals, AND a Garmin 935 tri bundle.
I would look into powermeters to understand/optimize better my bike rides.
I am feeling the need to upgrade a few wearables. Its come to my attention I might get better indoor run tracking if I had a footpod. And Id like to have a new HR strap. One with some, features. A Wahoo perhaps. Im also wondering if Clever Training sells bike tools….
Oh Ray!
Thanks a lot :) I would like the Garmin Vector 3 pedals, pretty please :)
Exciting!, I’d get my wife a Garmin watch as I am desperately trying to get her away from her Apple Watch and join the rest of the Family :-)
Is there a bicycle mounted heater for winter riding available, if not than I will take a wahoo smart trainer.
Thanks DCR! I’d definitely choose a Garmin 935 to replace my aging Ambit3.
Vector 3 all the way
I need a new trainer (and a bike, but I can always put another bike on a new trainer).
A Hero6 Black that I can strap to my toddler’s sternum and then send her running through crowds
Hi Ray. Thanks for all you do! I would apply the gift certificate towards a smart trainer or maybe towards a GoPro Hero6 Black.
I would order Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals, take my training to the next level
Garmin is the best. Garmin Vector 3 power meter
I would buy the Vector 3’s!
I would like a GoPro Hero 6 having a 5 now that I like to sell or a replacement for my Polar V800.
So many things, but hopefully Vivosmart. Then again so much.
Gopro hero 6 or vector 6 or… I cant even decide
