Zappos.com did a little last minute sponsorship at the AFLAC Iron Girl Triathlon at Lake Las Vegas this past weekend. I managed to pull myself out of bed for the first time all week to help out at the expo. We asked Zoot Sports to come out and help represent Zappos as our vendor partner for this expo. Zoot is such a great company (even though they won't allow us to carry their running footwear yet - I know, low blow, but I had to say it!) with huge roots in Tri.
My athletic buyers and I here at Zappos are big fans of their story and product. Mike and Kevin, our representatives for Zoot, spent the whole weekend helping us out at the booth. Mike and Kevin are great guys and a lot of fun to hang around with. I love race expos. It's always great to get out there and hang with people in the industry and chat it up with the people doing the races...always cool and always inspiring. I wasn't feeling it this time around though. Being sick all week really put me in a lazy, pile of rocks mode. I really wasn't helpful at all during the expo - Thank goodness for Kelly, Gayle (Zappos.com Employee Extraordinaires) and the Zoot Sports reps being there!
