👟 Also Meet: Melba Lopez

Melba Lopez – Triathlete, USAT Coach, Encourager


I didn’t grow up thinking I could be a triathlete. In fact, I believed I was too big for this sport. I remember reading The Fat Triathlete and thinking, Could that be me? Could I really do this?

Eventually, I gathered the courage to register for my first triathlon—but I hadn’t trained nearly enough. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable with me racing, so I didn’t show up. I regretted it deeply.


But I didn’t let that be the end of my story. I trained, showed up, and finished my very first triathlon in November 2016 at the Captain Hiram’s River Challenge.


As a former high school swimmer, I expected the swim to be easy—but open water humbled me fast. Still, I pushed through, conquered the swim, and went on to finish the bike and run. I may have been one of the last to cross the line, but I was hooked.


Since then, I’ve completed everything from sprint triathlons to Ironman distances. Triathlon has changed how I see my body and what it’s capable of. It brings me joy—not because of how I look, but because of how I feel.


I became a coach to help others discover that same joy. Whether you’re brand new to endurance sports or working toward your next big goal, I’m here to help you believe in your ability, train with purpose, and chase the finish line with confidence.
