I don't go out there to place second or third. A lot of people would be happy to be third at the Olympics. But am I really happy with it? No.
I was really happy to introduce Houston to a new sport, and I just want to let everybody know how interested I am to have relationships with people from my own city. I want to make a difference.
I'm very happy with my accomplishments. But at the same time, I feel like I left a lot of medals out there. I didn't skate perfect. I let myself down a few times, but I have to hold my head high.
I've had a pretty numb feeling ever since what happened. I guess because I'm not completely happy with the results I had, and that's why I'm continuing through 2010.
I'm going to go out there and compete like I always do, but at the same time I'm going to use it to develop speed for the first lap of my 1,500. I think that's a good thing. I think it's going to help me, so I'm happy Bart talked me into it.
