Her gruelling training routine included four- to six-hour sessions on Saturdays, followed by another two to three hours on Sundays.

To prepare for the humidity, Charles also spent time in a sauna and incorporated heat conditioning into her training.

With her final competition of the year complete, Charles plans to take time to recover.

“I am just going to take some time to enjoy my success from the season,” she said.

She plans to choose her races for 2027 in the new year.

Looking back on 2026, Charles said one of her biggest highlights was finishing Ironman Canada in less than 10 hours.
