People ask me 'what was going through your mind in the race?' and I don't know. I try and ...let my body do what it knows
Compared to how I have raced before and how I have competed, the success that I have had, this does look like doom compared to it.
There is water in every lane, so it is OK.
I thought I could, and thought I would, swim a lot quicker - much quicker.
Part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay.
I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.
