Lol, one of the reasons OG wants to compete Xcel Platinum this year is so that when we go to YMCA Nationals in June (we do a 1 week family vacay for it), she will get to have a workout session the very first day (Opening Ceremonies is in the Afternoon/ Evening and Optionals L7-10 and Xcel Platinum and Diamond are allowed to work out on the equipment they will compete on for an assigned time... L6 and Xcel Gold are not worthy of this honor, even though Gold was allowed in 2013 - she was the only Gold competing, so she didn't want to that year).
