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 probably get a Garmin Edge, for easier routing then on my Fenix.
I am thinking to get the garmin 920. I know its old but I think is still the best for me. In the mean time until I make up my mind I will get a pair of airpods. My powerbeats failed two times so I am hopping airpods will make it through a lot of sweat
Ray, only thing my bike (and training) still misses is a power meter, so I would use the credit towards that – probably Garmin Vector 3 pedals!
probably new sports watches for trail running
I’d get a Fenix 5
I’d like to buy a new Garmin 520!
Because I’m annoyed of uploading my activities via USB!
Elegiría unos Garmin vector 3 y así poder jubilar mis antiguos Garmin vector 2, un saludo Rain
Garmin Fenix 5x, So I can find my way home from the pub without ringing the other half !
A new trainer would be a great start to 2018!
I would go for a Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals for better trainnings
Garmin 935 or Wahoo bike computer would be great. Nice improvement to my gear.
Hey Ray,
I’d be jumping on the 4K action video train with the GoPro Hero 6.
Many thaks’
Joakim
I would get some sport of power meter to help my cycling
Garmin Fenix 5… because my V800 is so old!
I’d finally invest in a power meter which I’m sure will take my training to another level. Garmin Vector 3 possibly?
New garmin virb action cam. As the kids grow older there is more action to record (ski, mtb, bmx, …)
I would get a new bike computer with mapping, so very probably a Garmin. The battery of my current one starts to last less and less long
Ok, count me in! About to order a power meter (Favero Assioma duo) from them for my first Ironman in Zürich in July of this year. Having trained with power on my Tacx Flux for two months now I’m really looking forward to have power data outdoors as well!
Thanks for the great reviews (and giveaways) Ray – I’m reading along for over 7 years already now. Happy to see the Forerunner 305 (my first GPS watch, after plowing through your reviews) is still in the ‘Product Comparison Calculator’ image on the front page – and on the classic rolling pin!
Forerunner 645. Finally running without my phone. Yesss!!!
I’d get a Quarq d zero, so I can get training to power.
A GoPro camera because, having bought Vector 3last week, I can ditch my Powepod and free up the GoPro mount ?
Vector 3 would bei great to improve my outdoor training!
A gopro hero 6 black, so I can start taking shots of my runs and cycles and learn how to edit videos.
So rainy in Paris that à Wahoo Kickr Snap would be the perfect partner to train with my Elemnt Bolt in my flat ! ;-)
I’d get the Wahoo Element and maybe a new GoPro? How knows,,, :-)
I would get the Garmin Vector 3, because it’s time to upgrade my power meter and they are the easiest to swap between bikes!
I would get an wahoo kicker, because my off-season would not be as bad as it is if I could bike a little more.
I hope this time I win ?
Good luck to all!
Thx Ray for the awesome page and all the giveaway’s
A Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals would be a great start with power meters, as I start to train for an Ironman.
Oh wow! Not sure what I would get… Maybe a trainer, maybe replace my Edge 500, maybe…..
Anything with Suunto written on it… thanks!
Thanks for a ” Garmin Vector 3 power meter” !
Fine on my BH SB3 Spin bike ;-)
Some Assioma Power Pedals would be great Ray – perfect for indoor training and outdoor rides…roll on summer.
GoPro Hero6, because around me there are wonderful mountains and I want to shoot them at their best :)
I’d like to earn the Garmin Vector Powermeter, because I’m very interested in training with a Power meter to improve my clicling.
regards,
Conrad
I would go for a Fenix 5 to replace my trusty but outdated V800. Even the speculations of a V800 successor are getting outdated.
i’ll try a gopro than..
I would get a new watch since my Polar RCX5 has finally given up on me.
Thanks!
I would go for a Fenix 5s for my trail running and cross-country skiing workouts, or maybe a bike trainer for the winter days.
A go pro would be helpfull to capture nice views in the mountains.
Any Garmin to replace my old but great 310xt!
A new gopro would be good. With the trouble they’re in hopefully there will be further discounts to move inventory.
If i win, i will buy a direct drive smart trainer(directo). Since i have already ruin my trainer wheel ony tacx vortex smart. It is not true now and the candence reported by the vortex is always above 100 :(
I’d go for the new Suunto watch because my old Garmin is on it’s last legs! George
Garmin FR 645, my 620 is ready for an update! Thanks Ray!
I’d love to win the Suunto Spartan Ultra…. a perfect replacement fr my Suunto T6C!
I’m feeling lucky :-)
I would like to get the Gopro Hero 6, because I dream about action cam for so long, but the family budget is way too short for that.
A Wahoo Bolt becayse my Garmin has died again!
I’d love an Fenix 5, eventhough I have the F3HR at the moment. Could also go for the Hero 6 as I don’t have any action camera, and think it’d be fun to have one.
Probably I would go for GoPro Hero 6
Would probably get one of the Suunto watches, either that or a 635, because I’m in need of a good watch. Suunto because I like their design and also provide all the features I require.
I’d probably spend it on Vectors. Especially since V3 offers hasslefree installation. We’ll see ?
A GoPro cam, before it becomes an AmazonGoPro or GoogleGoPro :D
My choice is Garmin 935, thank you! Fenix 5 is also an option, I really eager to get something with barometer to replace 735xt.
Have a nice Australia day!
A trainer, because I live in Wisconsin.
Garmin FR 645 music would by my choice, so i can finally leave my phone at home while running.
I would go for a new spartan trainer « outdoors » , i would replace my old garmin ?
Thanks for this giveaway. I think I’d use it on the vector 3 pedals!
Hi Ray,
I’d get a FR 645 Music to be able to train in music without the hassle of having to take my phone.
All the best
Maybe two Wahoo Bolts for my best cycling buddies, so I can see how far they are in front on a long climb when they drop me :D And this way they can stop complaining about their Garmins :P
I would go for the Garmin Vector 3 pedals, because it’s really about time that I started training with power.
I think I would get a new power meter, since my Stages gen 2 keeps dropping out all the time…! Or SRAM etap, so I can finally finish my build :-)
A Hennessy Hammock, and many pairs of socks
I’d get the F935 tri-bundle because my wife told me I wasn’t allowed to buy it myself (after buying the Edge 520 without telling her for 6 months).
A power meter… Because I need a new geeky, techy toy to lord over all my geeky engineering mates
An action camera would be great!
A Suunto or a Garmin Fenix watch. I would more and more running and i would a good watch! Have a nice and good Australia Day! ???
A Garmin Fenix 5 would be awesome. Since I am going to do some swimruns this watch will be sturdy to guide me home and track the relevant numbers!
I’d get the newest Gopro Hero Session, because I’d like to take more films and photos of my rides but I don’t like something big. This can hide under my Garmin computer.
I’d put it towards a dual-sided pair of Garmin Vectors. I seem to be quite good at injuring myself, so single-sided is a bit erratic!
I’d go for a Garmin Fenix.
Hi Ray, first of all thank you for your blog. It’s always a pleasure to read your reviews.
I would like to get a Garmin Forerunner 935 to replace my 920xt. I think it’s actually the best choice for triathlon and ultra-trail, it has a very good battery life and it’s lighter and smaller than a fenix5.
A good pedal based power meter, to take my training (and data obsession) up a notch.
A GoPro Fusion to use for capturing dryland mushing action without worrying in which way to point the camera beforehand.
Hero 6 to replace the old virb (non-ultra)
although I might go for a powermeter at the TT-Bike
Garmin 645 would be my choice. I really would like to have some of the new features, but the built in hrm is the one thing I really want (not new, I know).
I want a Fenix 5
I would get a Quarq Dzero because I want a powermeter
I think it’s finally time to ‘invest’ in a drone :-)
garmin fenix 5s. For my girlfriend
So many options! I think I would go with the new vector 3s or a bike cleaning stand if they have one because I love a clean bike
I would get a Vector 3 cos I don’t have a power meter yet!
Polar M430 because it is an accurate multisport watch that will side my training
I’d pick up a GoPro hero 6, been wanting to try a good action cam for a long time!
Garmin 935 Triathlon GPS Watch for me :)
The Garmin Edge for all my biking endeavours.
I’ve been thinking of a Fenix5 from days.
Thanks Ray for the contest and also for your blog!
I’d probably get a new trainer.
Tacx Neo to improve my indoor training!
I would love to get the new F5s for me!
The replacement for the Polar V800!!!
Cycling GPS computer (Wahoo or Garmin 520) with set of accessories like cadence, speed and hr sensors.
Hero 6 black for me as my original hero is now a bit long in the tooth!
Hi! I’d buy a new Garmin Forerunner 935: My old Fenix 2 is leaving me and i need a watch to workout (actually I don’t, but the watch really helps). Thanks
Maurizio
My garmin 705 is showing it’s age and seems it to be time for an upgrade, Thxs
Garmin Vector 3, because I want to keep my power readings when switching back from using a trainer to riding outdoors.
Towards a new trainer because riding in mountains in winter is a little too exciting.
Either a hero 6 black or an evoc travel case. Both because they’d be useful for an upcoming MTB vacation.
Garmin Varia Radar, Lights & Vision, to be more safe and visible…
Garmin vector 3 , as I age watching my power equalling my age
I’d get a Forerunner 935 to upgrade my current 210
Garmin Edge 520 to give my 6 yrs old son, who always asking me about our current speed when we biking together. That’d be great if he could check his speed anytime he like :)
