Bio
Charlotte Hart moved to Australia from England when she was 9 years old. Living on the Gold Coast, Hart’s parents wanted her to be confident in the surf, and she has loved surf lifesaving ever since. Throughout school Hart raced in a lot of triathlons and cross-country events, finishing 2nd at School Sport Australia Nationals in both sports when she was 16. Now with her foot on the line in the 2026/27 Shaw and Partners Iron Series, Hart’s main goal is to get to the Grand Eliminator and re-qualify. Hart is currently in my second year studying occupational therapy at university, and hopes to become a paediatric occupational therapist in the future.
Charlotte, which race format is your favourite?
I love any type of enduro racing because I love a long hard grind.
What is your best training hack?
Be consistent and don’t worry about what everyone else is doing.
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
Don’t try harder to go slower, sometimes less is more.
What is your race day routine?
Get up nice and early so I’m not rushing, have toast or a bagel for breakfast. If it’s a later race, a pool swim in the morning before heading down to the beach 1.5-2 hrs before racing to have a good warm up and get ready.
