Meet the Coaches

TJ Caplinger, Marathon Coach

I started with Team in Training in 2006. I joined in honor of a high school and college friend who had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I'm proud to say she has now been cancer free for over 3 years!!!

Back in '06 I had no idea what a huge impact TNT would have on my life. I simply joined to support the cause and try something new. Now a few years later, I can see TNT is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I get the opportunity to meet, travel and train with some of the best people on the planet!

Bruce Tyler, Cycle Coach

I have been an avid recreational and competitive cyclist for about 24 years. Over that period I've cycled tons of miles training, racing or touring while competing in numerous road, mountain bike and cyclocross races. Lately though, I've done much less racing while focusing on coaching and century riding. Now I'm a veteran of coaching TNT and completing more centuries than I can count (plus a couple of weeklong 500-mile bicycle tours for good measure). I am a certified Team In Training Cycling Coach and have been coaching for LLS since 2004.

Victor Chevalier, Marathon Coach

Shortly after moving to Texas in 2004, I began to run, with no particular goal of a marathon in mind. A few years down the line in 2010, a friend of mine whose mother is suffering from Leukemia, introduced me to Team in Training at an alumni reunion. After talking to other families who had been afflicted with blood cancers as well, I decided to take on my first full marathon and join the fight in kicking cancer's butt.

Little did I know back then what amazing and inspirational people I'd meet along my marathon journey. After recently completing my 15^th marathon, I can officially say the TEAM got me hooked and the people I've met keep me going! With TNT making such a huge impact in my life, I've decided to give back the best way I know how, as a marathon coach. I hope to guide and inspire you as part of your journey, whether it's your first event or you're motivated to obtain a new personal record. I look forward to seeing you out there, GO TEAM!

Marissa Ramirez, Marathon Coach

I started with Team In Training as a partcipant in 2003. I had no connections, just received a flyer in the mail and decided to check it out. I realized the impact that the team had on those whose lives were affected by blood cancers and made some amazing lifelong friends. That has kept me with the team ever since. I have completed several seasons with TNT and have been a mentor, captain, coach, and everything in between.

I have completed the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego, Nike Women's Marathon, Honolulu Marathon, Achorage Marathon, as well as several other marathons and half marathons. I have also completed the Lonestar Triathlon with TNT. My favorite part of working with TNT is seeing all of the hard work everyone puts in throughout the season. It pays of when they reach the goal of crossing the finish line. Go Team!
