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.

  • Well do your best on the first and do the other because you love the event. Why travel and miss out? Pfffttt! I skipping the 100 IM for the 50 back. Why travel and swim slow? :thhbbb: Besides, I got some other fish to fry that day. I'm contemplating swimming a few events I've never swum in SCM before. Of course, my SCM experience is so vast and varied ... it wouldn't be hard to find a new event. :lmao:
