The Didn’t Get What You Wanted $500 Gadget Giveaway

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.

    I could rally use a Fenix 6 for trail running through the canyon at Sliver Falls Park and for exploring the woods.

  4. Richard Whiteman

    Wahoo Kickr Climb to complete the pain cave!

  5. The battery of my current bike computer is quickly dying, so I will go for a new Edge 1030 or 830

  6. Tim

    Is love the triathlon bundle of the garmin 945. I know it’s more than $500 but I can swing the rest. Just can’t swing the whole thing myself. :-)

  7. Dom Rief

    I’d get a Wahoo Kickr or Tacx Neo

    Thanks
    D

  8. Hugues Tremblay

    Probably a new running watch, just because

  9. Eric Jones

    I’ve almost pulled the trigger on the Assioma pedals so many times. I had them in the cart on Clever Trainings BF sale and decided to use the 20% off on a new trainer instead. It would be the pedals for sure with this.

  10. Vid Balek

    I would buy garmin varia radar and garmin edge! Happy new year!

  11. Paul Szendrey

    I’d love to replace my old Garmin with a Garmin fenix 5S. I do a lot of trail running and road cycling and having a GPS watch is a necessity for tracking miles and effort.

  12. Dean Grove

    I’d probably get the Favero Assioma power meter pedals, simply cause that’s still something I don’t have and with the IQ2 Power meter being…in some weird state or another I’d like a power meter.

  13. Gav

    I would like a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro as an upgrade to my Fenix 5

  14. Chris Mulford

    I’d probably get some Garmin Vector peddles because I want them badly but can’t justify the extra expense.

  15. Michael Snook

    I would get the Gopro Hero7 Black to record and share my rides and to publicly shame drivists who drive and park in bike lanes. Happy Holidays!

  16. Roger Dennis

    New power meter would be sweet

  17. Calvin

    I’d like to get a Garmin Fenix to support my tri aspirations.

  20. Richard Roberts

    I’d like a drone so I can bore my missus with beautifully shot footage of me doing the most mundane of activities!

  21. Simon gordon

    I’d like a set of power peddles

  22. Patrick

    A power meter of some kind. I’ve been riding for 10 years and I’ve seen everyone around me get one but I never had the means to do so myself.

  23. Andrew

    I’d use it towards a trainer. Not sure which one yet.

  24. Steven Harben

    I would use the money for a set of assioma power meter pedals.

  25. Peter Z.

    An Edge 530 so I can stop trying to read a tiny watch screen when riding. Or maybe a FR945 to help me work towards attempting a triathlon.

  26. Greg

    I would get a Garmin Edge 530 and a Garmin Varia radar light because my head unit is old and I often cannot hear cars coming up behind me

  27. Arnd

    It’s time for a well overdue upgrade ???

  32. Krispijn

  39. Bourlier

    Wahoo kickr climb: I don’t need it but I definitely want to try it. Having it for free is the only option :)

  41. Alessandro Rossi

    I would go for the Favero assioma, I’m still missing a power meter and they look wonderful

  42. Karina Vergara

    The Garmin 945 to get some music to push me to the next level with a full Ironman. Or the Wahoo Kickr to take my cave to the next level. Thanks!

    Probably put it toward favero pedals.

  44. peter

    I’d be content with the Garmin 245 Music.

  48. Devin Smith

    New multi-sport watch, because it’s time to upgrade.

  49. David Sidloff

    The Wahoo KICKR CLIMB, anything to elevate my training ?.

  50. Mick Chappel

    I would add the wahoo headwind to my indoor training as after a nasty crash on Sa Calobra in Majorca left me injured and off the bike for months I can see that the next 12 months might have me stuck getting fit inside till my family give me the green light to go back in the real world

  51. Eric

    I’d love a new Fenis watch to replace current (and dying) 910XT…

    I’d get a garmin fenix to use the race pacing feature in my spring marathon.

  54. Michael Igoe

    I like the idea of a boat!

  55. Jeff H

    I’d love either a Kickr Climb or a power meter! IM number four is this year and I need to step it up ’cause I’m getting old- and we all know that gadgets are the way to make that happen. :-)

  56. Mike Schaefer

    Hyperice Hypervolt Plus because it would aid in recovery and it’s likely something i’ll never buy for myself :)

  64. jbrandw

    Edge 830 because my new Vector 3 pedals won’t pair properly/consistently with iOS Garmin Connect Mobile app. Work fine with BLE for trainer road and Ant+ on F945 but no GCM app… come on Garmin!

  65. Mitch W

    Thanks DC… I would use it toward the Elite Nero smart rollers

  66. Simon Raglione-Hall

  77. Garmin Vectors! I need to know how little power I produce and realise that the one time a broke a chain on a climb in Laos it was mechanical failure rather than hulk-like watts!

  78. DLinLV

    2 or 3 Garmin Forerunner 45 for my child athletes.

    I coach kids as young as 7 to run half marathons, 2 races per year. Launchteam.org

    Wahoo Kickr Climb and any Garmin! Fitbit bit the dust and my last Garmin is soooo old.

  80. John Heaton

    Favero Assioma power meter pedals because they didn’t make their way into my Xmas stocking this year !

  81. R.J. Kingston

    The kickr climb would help the indoor sessions in snowy Canada

  82. Markus Walenta

    A Wahoo Kickr Climb as an addition to my kickr for making indoor rides even more intresting

  83. Michael Szlezak

    I’d treat myself to Garmin Fenix 6… yeap – definitely

  90. Catherine Burnett

    I currently wear a Polar 200 for daily tracking and use old Garmin 910s for indoor (no GPS) and outdoor activities. Oh, plus a Garmin Edge 500 for cycling. I *need* something that will be a one stop/all tracking/all activities device! I’m leaning toward the Garmin Fenix 6 (but, if you think there’s something else that will meet my need, I’ll take that one!) Thanks, Ray! Happy holidays to you and the fam!

  96. Eric Gottlieb

    I’d buy the Assioma Duo power meter so I can be lazy and stop swapping my existing pedals between bikes!

  97. Grant King

    It’d have to be a Wahoo Kickr Climb as i’ve turned into a fairweather cyclist recently and this would help me through the winter months

  98. J.Vollmer

    I would love to get a mi walkingpad, but I doubt CleverTraining offer those, so I’d probably settle for a 945.

  99. Cdl

    Garmin fenix 6 pro
