I got so far and I knew that at some point I would kind of level off and have to focus on different things. I sort of feel like I'm getting to that point now: it's more patience now, and experience, and time.

When I started skating four years ago my goal was Olympic trials this year and I made that. So I guess right now my plan is another four years.

I feel like I've sort of exhausted my raw talent. This year it's been a little more of a struggle than the last few years.
