So what exactly is a Zooming Guy?
The zoom was born when a student of Brighton High School passed a student of Timpview High School in an 800m race. As the Brighton runner passed the Timpview runner, he softly said "zoom". This is the precise moment in time when the zoom was created.
I was a teammate of the Timpview runner, and when I heard of this interaction I changed my name on Strava to be "zooming guy", in honor of the Brighton runner. It stayed that way for a few weeks, after which I got the funny idea of trying to get some of my teammates to join in and change their names as well. I was able to convince one fellow, however he agreed only on the condition that he was to become Zooming Guy 1, and I was to be Zooming Guy 2. I was eager to bring on new Zooming Guys, so I quickly agreed. From there, we quickly brought on Zooming Guy 3, and a few weeks later added Zooming Guy 4.
We later started a Strava club, and managed to bring on many more hundreds of Zooming Guys in the following months. We grew fast and zoomed quick, but our rapid success brought upon enemies.
The so-called "SpEeD dOoDs" emerged from the darkness, with the goal of converting followers of the zoom. They amassed a moderately sized following, but largely remained a gimmick within the founder's school, Davis High.
That basically brings us to today. Not much happened after the cloak of COVID, and we all went our seperate ways. But a Zooming Guy I remain, and always will remain, for life.
