I’m sure many of you received various sports gadgets over the last few weeks as part of the holidays. But for those unlucky elves who received only a half-eaten gel packet in their Christmas stocking from their not-so-significant others, I’ve got a festivus of a present for you: This giveaway.
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 basically anything they sell (or get points instead). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero7 Black to a Fitbit Versa smartwatch to a random pair of socks to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat (note: they don’t sell boats or even other vessels like submarines).
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 Friday, December 28th, 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.

Hi,
I can use a Powerpod to get my wattage not only on my Wahoo but also when I’m on the roads.
Garmin bike computer. I get lost
Vantage V just to get a change from Garmin.
Fr 645m, I’m missing that music bit…
I need a new garmin, edge 800 series
Need a new heart rate strap. Will get more stuff with $500…
I was really hoping to get the RunScribe. I started running about a year ago and I’ve been constantly struggling with little issues. I believe with the RunScribe I could use the data from it to determine if my PT is working and/or at what distance in the run my form breaks down (e.g. when I should call it quits).
I guess the Tacx NEO 2 Smart trainer was too big for Santa’s sleigh.
The Wahoo KICKR. Winter is upon us and Watopia calls.
Tacx Neo because I need to ride more in the winter when the weather is crappy
Smart trainer for IM training
I’d put it towards an Edge 1030. I’m ramping up my training, and the performance metrics would be very handy!
A silent trainer! so I can train when everybody’s sleeping :)
All I wanted for Xmas was a replacement for my garmin 920xt….maybe the fenix 5?
Forerunner 935 or Fenix 5s (undecided at this point)

I’d love to get a power meter!
Garmin Fenix 5 so I can it all!
Something to improve muscle balance overall.
I would go with a power meter so I don’t have to keep moving pedals between bikes
Power meter pedals please!!
crank based pm for vanity’s sake (front and back wheel have different spoke colors due to using different wheel for pt hub)
A good swimming watch or watch with swimming capabilities
Dji spark or a go pro…tough choices!
Would love a garmin 820 for all my cycling needs
A decent powermeter! Since I started liking coffee and caffeine, training with heart rate isn’t as accurate as it used to be :-)
A smart trainer for Zwift
A new watch. Something with Garmin Pay would be great.
Garmin fenix 5X Plus – would be really nice- the old Garmin has started to act up – and does not really like to be left on for that long ..

A new garmin watch. Probably the 645 music!
A new Garmin 1030 bike computer would be a nice gift from Santa

Santa Ray is coming to town!
Been wanting to build up a new bike with eTap, so the $500 would go towards a eTap groupset.
Probably a more updated gps watch or maybe put the credit towards a power meter or kickr.
smart trainer for me as the Bushido has just started getting noisy after a couple of years, so it’s well out of warranty… Must have been the Alp du Zwift repeats to get the tron bike…
I would love a direct drive smart trainer! Thanks
A new Garmin, as my old one keeps nagging me
A nice Garmin head unit; seems kinda extravagant w/ multiple Garmin watches but it would be a nice addition for my aging eyes.
Definetly Would get a (GoPro) Action Cam. Which one? Well, the best… Have to read some DCR reviews First…
I really want a Forerunner 935, as my 920X is getting very long on the teeth and I need a watch with a very long-lasting battery.
No question: Fenix 5x plus! I need to get this music-shit on my wrist ;)
New Kickr to replace the first gen one that can then move onto son so he can join in the suffering… (sufferfest all the way for me!)
Sunto Spartan. It’s time to upgrade my watch.
hm…a gopro hero session? or perhaps the new dji? ;-)

I think I’d get a go pro. I’ve started trying to record adventures on the phone and it’s just not cutting it

A new power meter as my old one is not working well.
I need a new multisport watch to replace my old and dying Suunto Ambit 2s.
It’s time for a new Forerunner!
Oh. Power meter or …
I’d get the Garmin vector 3’s. Time to move on from the hub based power meter!
Smart trainer, probably a wahoo kickr core. Would have to decide what app to use, but cross that bridge when come to it.
Hero 7 Black
Indoor bike trainer!
New trainer for winter!
Suunto 9, because I need something for ultra distances.
Think I’m ready for a power meter of so e description.
Upgrade my Kickr so I can look at accessories like Climb that won’t work with my Gen 1 version.
I would love to try out a new suunto spartan version on my long runs.
I’d like a nice gadget that tracks my activities as well as my day and with which I can listen to music and even pay my post run banana.
I want a fenix 5+, spam, a polar Vantage V, a suunto 9, spam and spam spam spam spam….
