For some reason, we had to fight through every element. |
I ran out of money. They sent us our long (program) outfits but. . . they're holding our short program ones until we pay for them both. |
I think Katie and I really skated well together tonight. Of course, every time you skate out there you are together, but you are not always on the same plan. I think our minds were in the same place tonight. I felt very comfortable on the ice with her. I thought Katie was awesome. |
It was like a deer in front of headlights. I don't think we skated and performed anywhere near of what we were expecting to do. |
It was like a deer in the headlights. There's just some days when you and your partner aren't clicking. For some reason, we had to fight through every element in a negative way. |
It's hard to put words into what we're feeling right now. . . . For some reason, we had to fight through all our elements in a negative way. |
The mental struggle started earlier this year when Katie broke her foot in the summer and we missed three months of training. It was a fight to be ready for the nationals. |
We were devastated when it happened, but as soon as we could we made a positive out of a negative. We had more time to work on more things and new tricks and regroup. |
