"For me to be able to achieve so highly, I guess is to not make it about the results, but for me to be able to do it, to reach more into myself to have reached that potential. It's just trying to be better than I was the day before."
Coming into such intense competition on the world stage, Carrington says she still battles with nerves and fears - but has found ways to deal with them.
Before a race, she faces down the fear by looking down the lane into the water and feeling grateful for the opportunity to compete.
"This is something someone said to me that really resonated, it was just to look down and think what a privilege it is to be feeling these nerves or be feeling how scary it is in that moment. So for me it was just about being grateful in that moment and from there it was like yep, let's do what I can.
"I think if for me, things that scare me the most are the things that I need to figure out and I guess sometimes they're telling you the truth, you know, that sometimes we don't want to hear.
"And ultimately those scary things you don't want to look at or shy away from, there's some gold on the other side of it. "
With the Olympics finishing tomorrow, Carrington now faces the journey back to New Zealand and two weeks in MIQ, which she's seeing as an opportunity to decompress and reflect.
"We've got a couple more days here with the team, so I'll soak up a little more social time before we head back to MIQ. I think I'll figure it out. Obviously having a good routine is going to be something really important."
But what she's most looking forward to is heading back to her hometown of Ōhope to celebrate with her family, friends and, most importantly, her dog.
"I mean it'll be exactly the same as I left it I'm pretty sure, which is awesome and it's just more getting home to that place, it's just a beautiful place to be."
