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.
Oh yay! I finally get to meet the famed Fort. If it makes you feel any better, I concur that it may be one of the least pleasant orders of events I've ever seen. (Really. The 100 fly, 200 medley, 200 free and 50 fly all needed to be in a row?!)
Not that it matters. Except at Nats, our team is big on lots of events so I'll be doing 6 (counting relays if I am in both) on Saturday and 5 Sunday (same caveat). No 200 fly though. Probably. Unless I give in to my coaches and the cheap ego biscuits of doing well in a small field.
As for travel, Jet Blue usually has decent fares to Boston from NYC. Probably DC too.
