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 go for a cheap bike pedal power meter, or to cover part of the cost of a good one.
Thanks!
Hi there I’ go for a Suunto (Spartan Trainer Weist HR) mulisports watch and a new bike saddle!
I think I would purchase a Quark Dzero power meter, so I can add to my new tri bike.

I would get an new Garmin bike computer to replace my old edge.
Garmin Vector 3 – I’d like to ride with power :)
I’d like the GoPro Fusion… it shoots 360º video, so what’s not to like? (well, unless you’ve got a Mavic Air) ;-)
Garmin 1030
I would get some Garmin vector 3 pedals. Starting to think I really need a power meter
GoPro6 Black – is my choose. My Hero2 is old and not good. I hope I win !!!
If get a Kickr Snap to have a way to train in bad weather.
Gopro Fusion – because I’m always searching for the best frame!
The new Scosche (or even the old) strap would really come in handy.
A new indoor trainer would be great, mine is a bit noisy these days, cant hear the Zwift soundtrack…
I’d get a Fenix 5 for triathlon
I would get a Wahoo Elemnt Bold combo with the heartratestrap and the speed and cadence sensors for my dad!

I’d get Garmin Edge 820 to replace my ageing Edge 800.
Thanks…

Garmin Edge to compliment Fenix.
HR Strap, and maybe a power meter (half of one anyway :D)

I would go for the Garmin Vector 3 pedals because they give me the flexibility I want for travelling.
After various chinese GPS watches, I’d like to try one of these Fenix units. Hope it will make a difference…
I’d like a garmin Fenix 5. The Saphire edition obviously :D
GoPro HERO6 Black to get a 4k 60fps upgrade.
Most likely the GoPro hero 6. Action cams are always fun to have around.
I’d give the GoPro Fusion to my girlfriend so she can film herself while horseriding / jumping on the riding arena.
I’d get a Fenix 5 (probably and S or X) as I’m planning to do a lot of hiking and trailrunning this summer.
A new Garmin as present for a friend
I would finally equip my bike with a powermeter, probably a left-side only crank-based one. Or a Fenix 5 to upgrade from my 1st gen F3 without HR…
Wahoo bolt or Wahoo snap. Garmin out or good winter training. Yes we have winter in Australia.
Fenix 5 because the Fenix 3 is awesome so the 5 must be awesomer ;-)
Hi Ray, thanks for all these awesome actions and reports. I case I will be the lucky winner (what never happened so far…) I’ll go for a Hero 6 Black. Then I can entertain all my friends with footage of my “broad range of skills”. :-)
I’d like a Fenix5S because my girlfriend want one. Or Garmin Edge 820 ohhhh hard choice
I’d probably replace my trusty Fenix 3 with a newer model :). Fingers crossed!
Thank you for the marvelous giveaway. I’d go for Fenix 5X. Gonna need a tough, everyday, plus GPS navigation watch. Plus extended battery life will do good on my ultras.
I would probably get one of the new garmin edge
I’d get Hero6 as my 4-year-old has been learning to snowboard and I’ve realized I need to purchase action camera.
I would like to have the Scosche Rhythm24. Gonna donate the rest of the prize…
I’d go for a set of Vector 3 pedals. Or maybe just loads of socks.
Most likely Vector 3s for my new bike build :)
I think I would get the Vivoactive 3, but with $500, I’m reserving the right to get more watch than I really need :-)
I think a trainer isn’t a bad idea.
I would get my first GPS watch. The Garmin 935 would be so awsome!
I would probably get the forerunner 935 or the 645, but without music, who needs that?
Thanks DCR! I was dreaming of new GoPro Hero6 to record my first marathon on Madeira in April :)
I’d love to get Garmin Vector 3 to improve my trainings, or any sports camera compatibile with bike to record my rides just in case anything nasty happens.
Thanks Ray, if I won I’d get a Wahoo Kickr Snap so I can train indoors when the weather is rubbish!
I would probably get a new garmin watch or actually getting a trainer
I reckon I’d grab a Garmin Forerunner 645 for my daughter so we can c̶o̶m̶p̶e̶t̶e̶ train together ?
Fenix 5S
Because IFL my current and previous garmin multisport watches and my 910 is on its way out
A Garmin Vector 3 power meter would be great!
Probably would use it to get all the GoPro accessories I can get for $500 :)
a garmin 935; sea levels are rising so fast, we’ll all be swimming soon
Probably a Forerunner 935 to replace my rapidly aging FR220.
Hard to choose. Maybe a smart trainer to get into Zwift.
The Garmin Vector 3 power meter
Garmin Vector 3 so it would be easy to have power on all 3 bikes!
I have been salivating over the Fenix 5S for ages now so thats definitely what I would go for
DCR for PM! But seriously I would love a Forerunner 645, would be music to my ears!
FR 645 music. Not sure why cause I never listen tmusic on a run. Would probably end up using it to listen to podcasts in the gym.
Since yesterday I took advantage of the CleverTraining UK garmin 935 deal (Thanks Ray & CT!) I’d probably go for a Gopro Hero 6 and preorder a Scosche Rhythm 24 (I’m so pumped up for the new Scosche! I teared the Rhythm + into pieces with my super salty sweat but by far the best HR monitor that handled the wild sweat situation).
Thanks Ray for satisfying our geek needs multiple times a week.
Hope Australia is treating you and your family with a wonderful experience, you deserve it.
I’d get the Garmin 820 to replace my 510 that died on me recently.
Hero 6, I need something to take videos.
Garmin Fenix 5S as a present for my girlfriend
A new Garmin edge, because my edge 800 is getting out of date.
I would get the new scosche band or a fenix5.. havent made up my mind yet :)
A power meter, maybe V3 to take my summer training up a notch! Thank you for doing this Ray!
I would love to get a new watch like the Garmin 935, and the new Scosche Rhythm band (when it comes out)
Probably an actioncam. Moving to Slovenia next month, I guess it could be heavily used over there!
Garmin 645 to listen to some music on those long runs
Probably a shining new trainer! My old Tacx really needs an upgrade!
The Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals would be the choice!!!!! I would be lost without power and it would be great to upgrade my first generation of Garmin Vector pedals.
Germin Forerunner 935
Definitely a 645 music (great device since I am using Deezer already)
Probably an upgrade to some existing equipment … the new Scosche Rythm 24 would be nice… upgrade to the latest Garmin Fenix, making my trainer “smart”, … plenty of options.
Garmin vector 3, because training to power is the new trend :P
I would get the Gopro 6, because it is waterproof even when it is naked.
I’d have to go for a Garmin 645 for my little sister, who never quite got into running or regular exercise, but is eager for a little encouragement, a little confidence boost and the opportunity to show her growing family that she can get the exercise bug, have a healthier & happier future
Probably power meter pedals, about time.
Garmin Vector 3 power meter. Show me the power!!!
So many hours on the bike… I think I deserve que 1030 ?
Thanks Ray! I think I’d go for a new Forerunner…
i have been having my eye on the suunto spartan ultra! thank you!
Wow, another great giveaway. Think it would have to be the Vector 3. Why? Because I NEED then ;-). Thanks.
I’d love to get myself a trainer – for $500 probably a mid-end unit from Wahoo or Tacx – to keep up my cycling through the winter!
Probably a Garmin Forerunner 935 although 645 is also tempting…
I would love a new turbo trainer – preferably one that connects to zwift so I can make it through the horrid Scottish winters!
I’m still hopeful the new Polar Tri Watch (v800 replacement) will be released soon!
Garmin Fenix 5X to help me wandering off trails in Croatian mountains! Thanks!
Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals … because its time :-)
Think I’ll get a power meter. Probably a stages but I could be convinced of something else.
If I’m lucky I’ll go for a Rhythm 24 optical HR sensor to get rid of the Garmin Swim chest belt and a Garmin Bicycle computer with maps and navigation – Probably the Edge 820.
Probably a Favero Assioma Power Meter! Please! :-)
