For me, this is the most natural structure, but "podía" would be more appropriate. The action of doing clearly started and finished, but not the ability - 005faa61, Oct 26, 2013

Careful. The word "habilidades" is a feminine noun and requires a feminine article. I would suggest, "...a la mejor de mis habilidades."

In Spanish... since by now it is so obvious.... :D

Hice lo mejor (que pude) dentro de mis habilidades.
