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 that are kinda like cash). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the GoPro Hero 8 Black to a Garmin Fenix watch to a massive pallet of nutrition gels, to the Favero Assioma power meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Actually, it’ll cover exactly the Wahoo KICKR CLIMB, since that’s on sale to $499 right now. Whatever floats your boat (Note: While they don’t technically sell boats, they do sell stand-up paddle boards…which, are kinda like boats).
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. F6), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that? Oh, and if you just want that amazing gadget t-shirt above, you can pick that up here. Or, become a DCR Supporter here!
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Sunday, December 29th, 2019 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time [Update – through Dec 31st when I remembered to turn this off]. 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.

Win or not, looking forward to more from you in 2020.
Thanks, Mick
Gopro … any version will do. Time to start making some videos ?

I really need a new cycling gps unit, preferably Edge 830, my old Edge 800 is really old and its battery is mostly useless (only lasts 3 to 4h). Thank you and Happy New Year
Definitely a new trainer (Neo or KICKR). My Vortex Smart is no longer getting the job done.
The assiomas
I wanted a FR945 but the mrs wants us to start saving for a child. Currently have a Garmin 920xt so moving up to a 945 would be huge upgrade, really want to have on wrist Hr to monitor resting heart rate and what stress work has on me during the day also.
Would like to upgrade to Garmin 1030 for my bike.
Power metre, so I can weep at my poor post-xmas W/kg.
I’d get the updated Neo 2 T with it. Because a Neo 2 isn’t enough.
a nice pair of favero assioma would be ideal to start the sporting year in the best way
I’d get a gopro for sure
A Fenix 6 cos it’s time to upgrade from the model 3
So many things to chose from. Mavic mini or go pro please Santa (Ray). Actually a running buggy would be awesome.
It would be a hard decision for me between the Garmin 945 and the Favero Assioma Duo.
I’d love a set of ASSIOMA duo pedals, I’d suggested to my partner I might get some after the Xmas expense had been paid for.
Image my surprise when on Christmas morning I opened a set of (flat, probably bmx) pedals… In response to my (obviously) bewildered face my partner said “I got you some of those pedals you were going on about”
Thanks darling
DCR I would really love a new Garmin fēnix 6X Multisport GPS Watch – Sapphire Edition!!! ??
Forerunner 945. I’d really like to measure how slow and steady I swim.
I would a Garmin Venu because it is the most versatile wearable out there at a cost that far less than the Fenix series.
I would do the Assioma pedals, had my eye on those for a while.
A new GPS unit as my trusty Edge 500 is getting less trusty.
a new garmin!
I would love a power meter so i can train verder and beat nu friends on the bike.
I’d get a new watch to replace my Vivoactive HR.
I’d love a wahoo kickr!
I am getting really unhappy with my Fenix 5+.. the OWS results are mediocre at best and no more real feature upgrades for a watch that is not much more than one year on my wrist..
So.. long story short: I‘d probably use it for an F6 and swear at Garmin for spending even more money with them even though they have in my mind not treated the 5+ customers in the right way..
A power meter crank is still on my wish list, because I ride in spd pedals.
A Fenix 6s pro for my wife, of course! She will be doing here first olympic distance this year!
I need a KICKR core as I liv in the frozen tundra
GoPro Hero 8 to get that smoothness in some videos or the Garmon Fenix. So many choices!!
Happy holidays Ray
Definitely I would like a power meter pedals, because is the time to train with that metric.
Thanks in advance and congrats
A New GoPro camera
i would buy some Big Agnes camping supplies to kick-start my trekking….
I did not find Assioma power pedals under the Christmas Tree so this needs to be corrected.
I did get what I’ve dreamed of ?? so what I need now is the wahoo kickr climb ?
I would get my wife a new watch. Probably 935 or something for triathlons.
apple watch want to leave the phone behind
Favero assioma power meter, because I’m still and probably will be waiting next Christmas for my IQ2 power meter. Really need them for the start of the season and the tour of Sufferlandria
I want an Edge 530 or probably another watch for my GF
Garmin edge
I’d like to have a bike navigation, such as the Garmin edge 830, because I tend to lose track while booking and find dead ends too much for comfort…
Looking to buy action cam probably Hero 8 Black
I would get the go pro hero 8 to record all my awesome adventures to come with all its new mods!
Any sort of power meter would be great for my bike.
I would definitely buy a set of power meter pedals!
I’d love a smart trainer, my dumb one is no fun even with power meter on my bike, just not the same.
Hey Ray, love your channel.
I’d like the Kickr Climb to help me keep the Zwift training going through the winter so I’m ready for Majorca in March for my 50th birthday!
Keep up the good work!
A new bike trainer!!! Thanks as always for your awesome work and giveaways!
I’d grab the Garmin 945 so I can track my workouts and progress while listening to stored music!
A Wahoo Kickr Climb, to prepare on the hometrainer for La Marmotte next year !

I’d love either a smart trainer to train for IM Choo or get the Normatec boots for better recovery.
I’d buy a running watch to kick-start my running
