Narrative:
First officer was flying a very demanding approach due to high crosswinds. After landing; I was taking control of the aircraft to make a high speed turnoff. Tower asked us what gate we were going to; as I was calling for 'flaps up' and slowing the aircraft on the high speed taxiway. At this time; we were issued instructions to turn right on taxiway a and hold short of taxiway A5. These instructions from tower were being issued as we were completing our after landing flows. Since we were both busy; while the tower was issuing these instructions; I was not able to write them down as I normally do. Once I got the aircraft slowed down on taxiway a; I incorrectly thought I was supposed to hold short of runway 26R at taxiway A5; when we were supposed to hold short of taxiway A5 on taxiway a; as the tower controller queried us why were not holding short of taxiway A5. There was also a lot of activity on the tower control radio.
