The Because It’s Friday $500 Gadget Giveaway!

DSC_9991

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 get a Garmin 645 because I’d like to be able to track my runs without a phone, and this has the added benefit of music!

  8. Mirek

    Some bike trainer maybe Wahoo KICKR SNAP I don’t know yet…

  9. Charles de Nobriga

    I think I would try to either upgrade my Ambit3 or buy a new GPS bike computer; something that complemented my other gadgets well. If there was any money left then the new Scosche HRM looks pretty neat too. It would be a nice change to move away from a chest strap.

  10. Filip

    I go to climb the Stelvio this summer and I’ll like do that with a power meter…

  11. Yann lg

    a Garmin Fenix 5 would be great for my son who’is in his first year triathlete training…

  12. Mikko

    I’ll go for Vector 3 to get power also while not on trainer. Or the Hero6 to shoot some epic footage. Let’s be real, I’ll never shoot epic footage. So Vector 3.

  13. Andrew Partridge

    Stages Power Meter Ultegra 6800 2017 & Garmin Edge 520 Cycling Computer to measure and take my training to the next level!

    I’d get a GoPro Hero6 Black to film our club triathlon.

  30. Clive

    Stages dash. As I have a stages power meter. I want to see how it can improve my training with the link software.

  31. Frédéric Bourgeon

    These credits would probably go to a GoPro, or a swimming-capable watch, or a power-meter. So undecided !

  32. Rafael

    23/5000
    I’m still on time?

  33. Michael

    The Garmin Fenix 5 would be my choice. Such a nice gadget. 😉

  36. Simon

    Dying for a pair of the new Asics nimbus 20’s! Two oceans ultra training!!!

  37. Difficult decision, still need a power meter, but I would also like to start recording stuff with a GoPro as it integrates so nicely with my Polar V800.

  38. Peter Vosters

  39. Ali Jordan

    Power meter that will link to my v800

  52. Jorge Hombre Marques

    Gopro Hero6 to film all-around…

  53. Hari

    I’ve a FR235 for a long time now, wanted to upgrade, might go for FR635 with this give away 🙂

  54. Benoit Rondeux

    It’d be great to get a Wahoo Bike Computer but even greater to have the chance to use the credits to buy a Hometrainer… With 2 young girls at home and complicated work schedule, having the opportunity to do some decent indoor training on my road bike rather than on my too-old sationnary bike would be just AWESOME!

    Thanks a lot in advance!

  55. Mike Watts

    A multi-function watch, probably a Fenix 5, to help my training for my first sprint triathlon in June.

  56. Zbynek Srubar

    A new Garmin watch (935 might be the best). I miss custom training/workouts features on my Vivoactive HR.

  57. Sorin

    I would either buy a Garmin FR935 or a dozen pair of shoes. The shoes for actual running, and the Garmin for people who look at me on the subway to think I am a serious runner.

  58. Ed B

    I would looooove a Hero6 to capture an upcoming family holiday.

  59. Garmin Vector 3 power meter

  60. Lars Ødegaard

  64. darek

    Garmin fr645, because i would like to run with music but without phone:)

  65. Sara

    Does clever training stock Red Etap Aero upgrade? That would be my choice

    I’d buy a gopro to make cool movies of my rides.
    Thank you!

  75. Rohan

    Wahoo kickr. Been meaning to upgrade to a smart trainer for the winter, but just haven’t quite been able to face the price. Five hundo dollarydoos would go along wa6 to making it happen.

  76. Bart van der Laan

    Garmin Vector 3 to improve my pedaling technique!!

  77. Peter

    A Rotor power meter crankset for me

    Garmin Fenix 5 x

  81. Rainy

    A new watch

  82. Phil

    A Garmin Edge 1030 for ease of route planning/navigation, or maybe the Edge 520.

  83. Maris Freimanis

    Need new motivation, it will be easier to get it with Garmin watch.

  84. Robrecht Van Meenen

    Garmin Vector 3 to boost my trainings

  85. Crowgirl

    I need a new heart rate monitor – perhaps Scosche Rhythm 24.

  86. GSH

    A Garmin FR 935 would be nice!

  87. James

    Vector 3 power meter because I have 4 kids (so can’t justify the expense) but I ride 20miles to work (32km) and then home again 5 times a week. I’d like to turn 320km of commuting into training.

  88. Matt Orabella

    Been reading your site for awhile now. Looking to pick up a Garmin 935 here soon!

  89. Richard McDowell

    I’d love a new Fenix 5 as my Fenix 3 is getting a bit tired!

  90. Wes

    I’d finally upgrade my suunto quest to a Spartan to finally get a cook river run (Sydney) tracked with gps.

  91. Jeroen Pasman

    I would get a Garmin Fenix 5!

  92. Kent

    Power meter pedals of some sort.

  93. Yonah Wolf

    I’d get a new watch/tracker to replace my 4-year old polar loop – papa can use a new watch 🙂

  94. Steve Powell

    I would get the assiomas to see how the work on trainer road and kickr snap translates to the real life ride on the domane…and how much is lost to bounce-if anything- through the isospeed decoupler.

  95. Roman

    I would get a Garmin FR935 to track all my sports

  96. Jens

    i would update my GPS-Watch to a Garmin FR935

  97. Colin Caskie

    Wahoo Kickr Snap (‘cos I still haven’t got the one I was promised at Christmas…)

  98. Stijn Vranken

    Garmin935, because my garmin235 is starting to lose its ability to read my HR through the wrist and my band is also starting to suffer from 2.5 years of training.

  99. Julian Yuste Garcia

    I´m interested in power tap G3
    thank you

  100. Steve Ambrose

    Garmin Fenix 5 or GoPro Hero 6 – either would be awesome! Fitbit is broken and won’t be replacing. Going on a cycling holiday to Mallorca and a GoPro would be sweet to have!
