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’d upgrade my pre-historic Edge 500 bike computer with something more modern so I don’t get lost while mountain biking.
I would’ve liked to get the GoPro Hero6 Black and check out the 1080/240.
I’d like a GoPro to take to the beach
I would go for a DJI drone, trying to match the pics from the alp rides
The new Garmin 645 music sounds just what I’m after.
A Quarq DZero for my road bike or maybe the Vector 3S. Can’t decide between a crank or a pedal based system. Maybe need to read your guide again?
The new Forerunner 645 Music!
I think a GoPro 6, my actual action cam is really bad!!
Good chance to get an Elite Directo…my old trainer is slowly dying
I’d probably get a Vector 3 power meter, just so I can install it immediately once I decide on which bike to get.
I would get Go Pro camera for travelling.
I would buy a Garmin 935 as my 920XT is in desperate need of replacement
I would get a hero 6 black to capture my rides and adventures!

I ‘d go for the new Garmin 645 music. It’d be a present forma my wife.
I’d get the Assioma Pedal Based Cycling Power Meter cause I’ve always wanted a power meter
I’d go for the Assioma duo pedals
This is great DCR! I would go for Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals to finally understand the power I am putting out.
Great Friday activity 😉 I like to win a Wahoo Kickr because my old Tacx needs to be replaced.
I’d get a Garmin Fenix 5 or a FR935, because I’m itching for a watch with optical HR and better swim tracking.
Fenix 5 – Got a mountain run coming up in May and the 630 and DWMap Connect IQ combo works but is not ideal
A fenix5, well because i am bored with te old F3
I’d most likely get the Fenix 5. Not that I’d need every single feature, but i like nice things for my marathon training!
Vector 3 if there was an SPD option, so GoPro it is!
I would love the Garmin Fenix 5, that would be perfect for me for everday use.
Finally commit to getting a Vector Power Meter for the bike, so I can measure Watt kinda power I am generating!
Really Need a replacement for my Polar RS800CX… Hmmm what should it be. Might have to be the Garmin Forerunner 935
I’d go for a new high end trainer since my old Tacx Vortex is locked in to the Tacx Training Software and that’s been playing up a bit too much recently !
I would get the GoPro Hero6 Black so that I can analyse my swimming technique by filming it and so improve my swimming.
I’d probably pick up a power meter for my Madone. Not sure.
Forerunner 920xt would be nice! Because rectangular form is the best for me.
I would update my garmin edge 800 with a 820 or go for a powermeter from quarq.
A Forerunner 935
Definitely a new watch since i bought a replacement battery for my 810 (works great again). FR 935 or a Spartan.
I’d get either a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt or a Garmin 820. My Coworker’s Garmin 510 just stopped working so I’d either give him one or hand down my 520, he can’t ride without a computer otherwise how would the internet know when I drop him on the climbs 🙂
I would put it towards a Fenix 5x – I’ve been looking to upgrade for a while to get the optical HRM and better navigation (Although the decent is now a mighty interesting option as well)
Would like the GoPro Hero6 Black, to film the First moves skiing with my nephew 4 years old.
Random pairs of Socks sounds good to me
I would get either the Garmin FR645 (non music) or the fenix 5s. In the market for a new watch. Very difficult to make up my mind
Hi Ray,
I’d buy a GoPro Hero6 Black as I’m getting into the “record-your-races-and-training” game lately 🙂
Regards,
Andras
I would get the new Scosche HRM to go with my GPS watch.
Keep up the good work, Ray!
I go for a fenix 5s.
Aaaaah… giveawaaaay!!
I’m still in doubt about a new Garmin Watch (935XT) or using it as a $500 discount to get a nice power meter.
Guess I’ll have to solve inner conflict after finally winning a giveaway. 😉
Garmin Forerunner 935!
Kickr Climb when it’s released to go with the Kickr I’ve just bought.
I´d like the favero assioma powermeter. I simply need this year a powermeter on my bike
Cool thanks DCr. I Would be happy for a Smart Trainer
A set of vector 3, because I need a power meter.
I’d love the fusion 360! Cheers ? down under
I’m in a need of a new HRM, but with $500 I’d probably take 2 – one for running and one for swimming. And probably a smart scale would come in handy as well.
Definitely a Fenix5 as my old Fenix3 non HR is beginning to need a replacement… Thanks
Maybe I would upgrade my GoPro Hero4 or get new running shoes, sunglasses…
More holidays seems nice – but if they don’t have those, I’ll settle for a new bike computer.
New GoPro Hero 6 would be nice for recording snow covered fatbike trails.
A GoPro 6 would be nice or the Garmin Vector 3 power meter. Thanks for setting up another giveaway!
I would get wahoo bolt or 4iiii power meter to step up my training game.
Power pedals like the Garmin Vector 3! Been wanting to measure power!
Garmin 520 as my 500 is getting a bit long in the tooth and I want auto upload over WiFi.
Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt
A suunto Spartan watch cos Garmin has broken my vivoactive with its latest software update
I would get a new watch. Still love my V800, but i would upgrade for sure.
Thank you, DCR!
Would love a PowerShot camera… But would settle for a gopro…
I’d get the garmin vivoactive 3 as a present for my dad, and a garmin edge for myself to push myself to do more cycling!
I’d love Fenix 5 or 935 cause as I love my Vivoactive HR I start to miss more advanced metrics and functions.
Thanks for this giveaway! I will probably get a Garmin fenix 3 or a Garmin fenix 5, because I think it is the best sport watch out there.
I think I would go for a new GoPro
Heck, I am gonna get me a brand new Garmin Fenix 5 with HRM-Run, or why not HRM-Tri? Yes, defenately those!
I‘d get a Garmin Edge with mapping for my Geneva-Nizza tour!
I would be glad to get a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt. I like the simple design and the handling.
Garmin Vector 3 power meter, with a Neo and Zwift training without power is impossible, so with Vector I might will some thing else this summer then the walls in my garage 🙂
Fenix 5 , to replace my trusty good old Fenix 2
I wanna get a quarq power meter for my MTB 🙂
i´d get a garmin 310xt because tacky things rules
Vector 3 pedals please.Because then I can use the money I’ve saved to buy 50 leg waxing sessions
Garmin Vector 3 power meter, because I just want it!
I would get the Gopro Hero 6, because I like to film my mountain biking. At the moment I have the hero 4 and the video is shaking a lot, hopefully the stabi in the Hero 6 can fix that.
I would get a gamin edge 820 because as much as I like my vivoactive HR, I need a larger display to be able see things while riding.
I suspect I would umm and ahh for a bit and then go for a new HRM and speed/cadence sensor…….or Fenix 5.
Hi Ray,
I would like the gopro hero 6 black to record the next winter holidays with the familly
I would absolutely love a Scosche Rhythm 24 because I already have the Rhythm+ and has been the best HRM I ever used.
I’d really like a Suunto Spartan Ultra. I’ve been using my Ambit3 Peak for years now, they’re holding up, but the buttons are so sticky I have to press them extra hard to make sure I’ve got it right!
I’d like a Garmin Forerunner 935 as I’m incapable of swimming and counting lengths at the same time. Thanks.
A power meter, since I still don’t have one (shame on me!).
Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals, for my first half !
Garmin 520 will be very handy on my bike. I need something like this gadget as my friend on long rides.
I’d probably get a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt as my garmin edge 500 is getting old and the new features of the bolt would be handy.
A crank arm power meter is on the shopping list. 4iiii or stages, not sure yet.
Definitely a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, Tickr optical hr sensor, & rinsekit portable shower.
I would like to replace my Garmin watch with some newer model, I guess a new Garmin. I would come here to read about which one precisely 🙂
I’d probably get a Fenix 5. I’ve got a Fenix 2, but it’s getting a bit long in the tooth.
I’d definitely get a trainer to help me get ready for my first IM. Not sure which one yet. Or an activity tracker for my wife, probably the vivosport.
Oooh, need a new HR monitor, but maybe a 360 camera…!
Cycliq Fly 6 & 12 to make my rides more secure
I think i would get a new watch.
Garmin Fenix 5x, because it’s the best !!!
Thanks Ray ! Garmin Vector 3 would be nice 🙂 Hans
I would buy a set of dual-sided Garmin Vector pedals, to make my training targets more accurate and reliable as I currently use a single-leg powermeter.
My Garmin 620’s battery is terrible right now, so I’m looking to replace it with a new running watch with an optical HR.
I would go for FR 645 which should help me start listening to music instead of bird’s tunes while running. 🙂
A FR 645 Music, so I no longer have to run with old mp3 !
