Annette Melecio

Windsor Mill, MD

Annette Melecio is an active-duty U.S. Army soldier, mother of two, and a 14-time IRONMAN finisher whose journey has taken her to the start line of the IRONMAN World Championship. She's also an avid cyclist: in September 2025 she rode roughly 700 miles across Wisconsin and Michigan with Team ONE MILE to support children of fallen service members. When weather canceled Selma to Montgomery, she ran the 51 miles anyway. For Annette, the finish line is never out of reach.
