She highlighted how, while swimming the last few meters of the 400m freestyle, she was already thinking of winning her next race."I think tonight is the biggest night of the meet for me," she said. "In the last 100 [of the 400 free final] I was already thinking about the 200 IM, which is probably bad, but being able to manage that and mentally compartmentalise each race individually is a really important skill that I've learnt over this past couple of years. I swam 400m, had a fruit bar, got dressed and went back to the ready room!"She added:"I think I'm in the best shape of my life, and now I just have to put that into all of my races."
