Back to the Future

This has been the most troublesome Streak pressure I’ve ever had to think about. We have known for a year or more about our trip to Australia. At this point (15 years into the game), I'm dedicated to authenticity of The Streak. The 14 hour time difference is one thing to consider. I've managed that sort of thing in several other international trips. However, traveling to Australia presented my first time to cross the International Date Line. I really struggled with how to handle this.

In theory, Tuesday, June 12 got lost altogether. It became the day that never was as we flew over the Pacific Ocean. As I considered all the options of exercising in the airport, on the plane and so forth, it fell fresh on me when Shannan began setting her watch for the correct time and date in Australia. I decided to leave my watch alone. Thus, according to my trusty Iron Man Timex, we landed in Sydney at 6:00pm of the lost Tuesday, June 12. I took the day back, better yet, I held on to it. According to Shannan, on our return we'll have two Thursdays, both the June 28. That's just fine by me and my watch. I'll exercise twice. It won't be the first time.

Whatever the time or date, exercise!
