How to persuade spouse you must go to a meet?

I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts? I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.

    i feel lucky that my wife enjoys joining me on the ow tour. pool events are another story. clare actually swam her first ow this year at coney island. a great event that offered several waves (masters, citizen, wet suit etc) and as such had a large number of participants. many of the swimmers that clare got to know throught the years were very encouraging and a good time was had by all. maybe the thing to do is find an event that you both can participate in. i just noticed that stud and muppets avatars are bookends......weird.
