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.

Is it the suunto that tells the temp.
Like to no how hot it is out there.
I need some replacement for my V800….the FR 935? I think so.
Garmin Vector 3 and a connected home trainer are the missing link for me.. thx to give us a chance.
Wahoo Elemnt Bolt please because my wife’s (and my) Edge 500s are on their last legs!
I probably need to choose between an action cam and Vector 3 pedals.
I would love a gopro hero 6
Maybe a power meter? Or new Scosche?
Replacing the Garmin edge 800 for the Wahoo Elemnt head unit
I think I’d spring for a new Garmin watch to gear up for marathon training.
Probably forerunner 935, a lot of data…
Thanks Ray!
A smart trainer, Snow and ice outside until Apr/May :-/
This would definitely help with purchasing a wahoo kickr. I’ve been after one of those for a LONG time! Fingers crossed
Suunto Spartan Ultra I think. Not because I need it but because I want it!
Thanks the opportunity DCR!
I would get the Garmin Edge 1030 GPS to replace my old Edge 510. It will be useful at foreign country cycling tours.
I Need to get hands on the scosche rythm 24 because chest belt sucks and i want to test new ways to get correct heart rate data:)
I always wanted a Fenix 5!
I would go for the Vector 3 because I would like to start training by watts!
Vector 3 pedals – because they are the easy to use and super versatile
I would like Garmin Vector 3,for triathlete training and racing. Thanks for chance. Best regards!
I would like to have the Scosche Rhythm 24 Heart Rate Monitor. To get rid of the chest strap!!
Garmin Fenix 5, for My first Ironman this year!
I would probably get a Garmin Fenix 5 🙂
I’d put the credit toward a Tacx Neo. I’m moving from a house with a trainer-friendly garage to an apartment, so the silence of the Neo is a major plus for me.
I would like the Forerunner 935 because … I don’t have it yet.
Thanks Ray for the opportunity… i’d get a 360 degree camera… Top choice will be the Garmin VIRB 360, but maybe GoPro Fusion will be available then.
Great! I want fenix 5s for my wife 😉
I’d like to get a powermeter to make my training more efficient
I never owned a cycling power meter so I would really like to get a Garmin Vector 3 power meter!
TGIF! I would go for a powermeter maybe garmin vector 3, because I want the power!
I’ll go for a pedal based powermeter (preferably the Garmin Vector 3) to be perfectly equipped for my training week in Mallorca in March.
Garmin 935 or 645, still in doubt. I’d like to use the TE, Recovery, and other advanced metrics to improve my runs and I also need a GPS that tracks my swimming (pool at least)..
a new power meter sounds alluring
Garmin Vector 3 to to train better
Most likely a forerunner 935 but I’ve been known to be indecisive so it will be a tough decision 🙂
Great giveaway, thanks! I’d probably go for the Forerunner 935 since my 235 started acting up in recent weeks.
As my first half-ironman is waiting in May, I would go for Garmin Vector 3.
I would go for the Vectors 3 ! Got 2 bikes would sove 2 problems.
Thanks
Having upgraded my garmin and my gopro recently, I think I’d go for a drone!
garmin Fr 645 music for me! i want to renew my old garmin FR
thanks!
Ivan
Polar V800, because nobody has anything better at that price point and it has been 4 years from launch
A new headunit to replace my broken one, probably a garmin 1000.
I’d get a GoPro6
Garmin FR935, perfect fit for all my activities : biking, walking, cross-crountry skiing.
Plus the quick release kit and a quick-fit band (a blue one).
Great giveaway. Garmin 935 to replace my Fenix 3 which is long in the tooth and really, really showing it!!
The vector 3 is certainly appealing now we are getting chooser to the new cycling season.
Garmin Vector 3
Wahoo Bolt. I am expat living in Poland and is hard to navigate here.
I’d go for the F645, my 235 is on the blink.
Oooh definitely Garmin vector 3! Main reason is easy switching between bikes
Hi,
Will go for Garmin’s power meter for my bike.
Thx,
Nimrod
I would get the new Garmin Descent mk1 dive watch. It would fill my need for an all in one watch, that thing does everything.
I’d get a drone probably
Vector 3 for me, the old Vectors have done serious k’s, they’re tired!
Thanks! Would get a Garmin 935.
I run 3 times a week and cycle 4 times a week indoor. I had a Garmin watch but my girlfriend tried it one time and she’s so addicted to that watch now that she won’t give it back to me! I have nothing now… 🙁 Girls are not always a good thing you know 8-/
I’d invest the $500 in a Stages Power Meter to improve my training efforts.
I would update me Suunto Ambit 2S to Garmin 935
thanks Ray, I wouldn’t mind a new trainer, or maybe Vector 3 power meter (though I’m a Speedplay pedals fan…)
Haris
Upgrade to a Fenix 5
I would like to GoPro6 Black, because my GoPro session is broken. 🙁
I would get a Quarq PM… simply that my colleges stop bothering me because auf my “guessing iron” Stages. In german ist is “Schaetzeisen”, which sounds way more insulting 😛
So please let me start measuring instead of guessing! 😛
A gopro6 for my wiralcam please ….
AUSTRALIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Id like the new garmin vivomove hr, it looks great
Edge 1030 for my new cycling bike
Hero6 for messing around on newly discovered gravel roads
A Suunto Spartan Sport HR Baro – because I want to see if the name actually fits on the back of the watch (and it would be a nice upgrade from my Ambit3).
A shiny new FR645M for me! 🙂
Probably Hero 6 for the improved low light performance over my 5 🙂
Garmin vector 3 for me
Hi Ray, if winning, I think I would go for a power meter.
Would have the be the garmin fr 645…for the tunes.. .
Possibly the Varia lights due to a current attempt to bike commute.
I’d go for a garmin 820 bundle so I could get more out my cycling and hopefully not get lost as often.
Garmin Forerunner 935 it is the best.
FR935 to replace my M400
Probably the fr645. It looks really well.
I’d like to put the voucher towards an Ultegra R8000 dual sided power meter by Stages. With only a basic non smart turbo trainer at my disposal, I’d invest in a power meter that could help me train more efficiently indoor and outdoor.
A Garmin Fenix 5 would be great!
Thanks!!
Garmin Power meters because I want to know how weak I am!
My buttons fell off, time to upgrade.
À Smart trainer for the winter…
I’d buy a garmin 935 as a replacement of my old watch
If fortune would strick me I would go for a Wahoo Elemnt Bold – so fingers crossed and thanks!
an Edge 1030 as an incentive to start the bike season early
Hi,
I would like to have the Garmin Vector 3 power meter.
best regards
Need a new triathlon watch
I would get the GoPro Hero 6
Definitely a new Garmin or Suunto watch.
I would opt for an action camera, a bike computer. Camera for cycling and also not to worry during vacations (beach, snow, etc…) Bike computer to get usage of my bike sensors (speed, cadence).
Thanks
A Garmin Edge 820, so I won’t be lost next time I cycle.
I think I would get a Garmin 935, because my 310xt is getting a little old now! Thanks Ray
I would get the Fenix 5
A garmin fenix 5 would be the perfect way to track my 2018 adventures!
I’d probably get an Elite Direto trainer, might even use it still in February 🙂
Something to retire my V800. 935? Whr baro?
Too much rain … I need a new trainer …
Garmin 935 because the watch brings all the features I would like to have. Thanks DCR!
Current model Fly6 and Fly12 to replace my older ones – being able to control the lights from the Garmin would be super-handy.
Woudl probably get a GoPro because I need something small but still better than the phone.
ooh too much to chosse from but probably a Garmin Fenix..or a Suunto…or still the Garmin? Maybe a Suunto…
