After the training we spent a week apart: Vanessa in St. Louis, Brian in Colorado and Sunday at the WSA shoe show in Las Vegas, where she got to see her family again. A good week! When we got back together in Des Moines, we loaded in the trusty minivan and traveled across the country to the great and glorious city of Salt Lake City. We were off to attend the Summer 2006 Outdoor Retailer Market. Always a interesting experience.
We got there early for training meetings and spent a day preparing before the onslaught of appointments and vendors. The beauty of the show is seeing old friends...and some people in Spandex! Hence this little series of pictures. Montrail threw a booth party on Thursday evening which included sprint races on the side of the booth. Timmy O'Neill, shown here in this sexy little running outfit, helped judge and lead off the races.
Jay, our Montrail sales manager, doing his managerial duties of drinking the Coors to promote the party. Beer hat...yes, please.
Timmy, lining up the racing participants with Jay supervising, or something...
And sponsered climber Brittany Griffith, donned a beautiful lilac spandex suit for the cause. Everyone had a great time! Thanks guys.
