Quotes by Libby Lenton
If I'm put in that position, I'll be happy. But I've had some experience with having great results and then having to back it up the next day, and not doing so well as I would have liked.
I probably came into this a bit more nervous than I thought I would. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do something a bit special. But I'm happy to be on the team for the Commonwealth Games now.
I never say anything is impossible. But I am just focusing on reaffirming what I did at the Commonwealth Games. I am here to learn from all of my races and see what I can do after such a big program at the Commonwealth Games. I haven't had a chance to come down from my achievements.
It was probably one of the scariest finals that I ever had to swim in because I've had my toughest competition here. I've really struggled in the past racing Jodie and Alice. That's the one thing I wanted to change in this race.
It's been very hard to sustain my intensity but that was a good time in a good field so to win was great.
It's so exciting to win, it's something that I've been working towards for quite a few years now, coming second to Jodie quite often, so to get a national championship in that event is very exciting for me.
It should be some real good racing tonight. Alice and Jodie are both swimming better than they were at trials and I feel better than I was at trials at the same time, there will be some very good racing tonight and tomorrow night.
It's a pretty tough program. You don't know how you will handle it until you do it. Other than that, I'm really happy with how I did tonight. Tonight was all about making the final, I'm sure all the Australian girls were the same.
