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.

    Ahmed, I think there are some smaller meets that allow this to occur informally, and also mark as exhibition. I don't know if that is competely illegal in USMS or something, but personally, I think it would be nice. One of our local meets has a "coconut relay" at the end of their meet, where you have to swim with an increasing # coconuts. no team restrictions, but then it is unofficial :banana: Friend relays would be cool expecially for those of us without a team or big travel contingents. I could fulfill Geeks dreams of anchoring his relay team...
