I never win anything, well at least not competitions to win useful things, (I even struggle to win a goldfish at the fair – not technically useful for me, but keeps the children happy!)….. so what a great surprise to get the email from Jason at Wiggle saying I’d won a prize for a review.
Dead chuffed. To be honest, I saw the prizes, and have used garmin kit before – and liked it, and thought it would be great to have a go, so pulled up my recent orders and did a few reviews – then thought a video review would be the best way of getting noticed……so I’ve got these new 2XU tights which are pretty good, and I ask the children if they think they’re any good, and to encourage them video me dancing like a loony and getting their comments…… and thus the video. Making the video with the children was great fun, and I didn’t really consider winning anything after that, but its a fantastic surprise.
Well, a fancy GPS watch will keep me on the straight and narrow – I’m sure we all like to think we’ve run/cycled further than we might actually have managed, and this gadget will bring the harsh reality of winter training speeds to life. Cant wait to use it and get fitter and faster for next years season….. (Hey I can even be one of those chaps who runs a 10k race and then tells the organiser the actual course measurement ….. how popular can a guy get???) Thanks to Jason and all at Wiggle!!

Wow – I’d won a prize in the review competition but I didn’t know because my spam box ate the email! Fortunately, Wiggle didn’t give up on me and left a message on the answer phone. However, having just staggered out of a hard gym session I had to listen to it twice, to be sure it wasn’t the figment of an exhausted imagination!
As a ‘Garmin junkie’ I was ecstatic to win the FR60 and avidly set about reading the Wiggle reviews, which only confirmed what a great prize it was (thanks folks!). And to put ‘icing on the Christmas cake’ it arrived the very next day, on Christmas Eve.
First impressions suggest very high quality, great looks and a really comfortable fit, but I’ll write a review of course when I’ve put it through its paces.
I’m incredibly impressed at the quality and quantity of Wiggle customer reviews and find them an indispensable aid to making buying decisions. I’m really pleased to do my bit to contribute to such a great site, with a superb user community.
Thanks Wiggle!

I used my Garmin 310XT for the first time this morning and it was excellent!
I ran one of my usual training routes through the woods and I was pleased to learn that my route was bang on what I thought it was!
There is so much more on the Garmin 310XT that I need to learn how to use but I think it will be a superb training tool to assist me in the build up to London in April.
Thanks again for choosing my feedback to win such an excellent tool.

I was surprised to hear that I had won a competition; it’s not something I’m used to. The guys at Wiggle are as efficient at giving prizes away as they are with customer service! On 21st December I received an email explaining that my review had been selected and asking me to reply. Then before I knew it, the Garmin Nuvi 1690 computer arrived in time for Christmas.
I had spent six months deciding on a new bike and finally settled on the Focus Cayo with the help of the reviews and answers to customer questions posted on the Wiggle website. I felt it was only fair to pass on my experiences with the new bike. The prospect of winning a Garmin computer for Christmas, trying my hand at writing a review in the style of bike magazines and shoot a video encouraged me to get out on the new bike (even if I had planned to keep it stored away until better weather). After a couple of cold winter cake-runs on the Fens and several ‘takes’ from my cameraman I felt ready to take on the challenge. I am overjoyed with the new bike and can’t wait for the better weather to switch over to it on a more permanent basis.
Hopefully, the new Garmin computer will encourage me to learn to drive! As supportive as my family and friends are regarding my cycling, I am getting to the point where the nudges in the direction of driving schools are becoming increasingly forceful… Don’t worry, I’ll still be a cyclist inside.
