PURE nightclub sponsored an event for the 2009 Corporate Challenge closing ceremonies last Saturday Night, and gave our Zappos Help Desk several tickets to hand out to Team Members. Each ticket admitted 2 people and it was first come, first serve, so needless to say, they went fast! We definitely appreciate an excuse to get out and get our groove on outside of the office with coworkers any chance we get, so we would like to say Thank You to PURE Nightclub for the perfect opportunity.



Picture above are just a few of the lovely Zappos.com Ladies who made an appearance!

The Corporate Challenge is well on its way, and it's not that Zappos isn't made up of a group of champions, it's just that we haven't received a gold medal in any Corporate Challenge event until now. That's right, our first gold medal was awarded to Scott S. in Finance for the Bowhunter Freestyle Limited B Division.

The only archery related thing that I know how to do is watch Men in Tights, so needless to say, I am very impressed. Congrats to Scott S. for his medal and an honorable mention to Meg M., JoAna F., and Frank Z., for representing Zappos Archery team. I'm not quite sure where you guy practice all year long or as to why all of you just so happen to have a bow and some arrows laying around in your garage - and quite frankly, I don't want to know - but I'm sure glad your obsessions with 50lb draw bows came in handy for the Corporate Challenge.

The speed walking event for this year's Corporate Challenge was a lot more popular than we thought it would be. So, in order to decide who gets to represent Zappos at the speed walking event, we held a walk off. Our first group of walkers fighting for the spot in their age group really weren't bringing the heat, but when husband and wife duo, Rebecca and Alfred started their time trial they cranked the competition up to an 11 - an 11 minute mile that is.
