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.

    You must be on the same team for relays. This is where Canadian Masters Swimming is more flexible www.mastersswimmingcanada.ca/MSCRules20060220.pdf Rule 5.02 will allow teams (at the discretion of the Meet Manager) to be formed of swimmers not belonging to the same club (I'm unattached, thus my interest in this). Such teams will be considered as an "exhibition" team and results will not count towards records or Top 20. I suggested this to the Club that organizes the one (and only) Masters annual LCM event in Ottawa and they will try to form such a team (or more?) during next February's meet (Winterlude 2008). Should be fun to do two 50 frees LCM in one meet.
