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.

  • Does it HAVE to be swimmers from the same team in a relay? Also, does the classic even HAVE relays? Of all the things I loved about swimming meets, relays were the #1 Paul You must be on the same team for relays. But no relays at Sprint Classic. Stud and I were discussing his upcoming events at the NE Champs though, not the Classic. The 200 fly is midway between the 50 and 100 BR, so it's be a good event for him.
