Marathon San Anotnio - Jennifer Capra

Jennifer Capra's adventure with Team In Training began in December of 2003 when she responded to an informational flyer. Since then Jennifer has completed 7 half marathons with TNT and several full marathons including the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Maraton and the Honolulu Marathon. She has served as a mentor during several seasons, coached 3 marathon events with Team In Training and served as Hike Leader for two Grand Canyon hike groups. She is dedicated to supporting our participants both in training and fundraising. Leukemia first touched Jennifer in 1956 with the death of her grandfather.  Since then blood cancers continue to impact her life.  She has taught several students with Leukemia and, most recently, her uncle lost his fight with leukemia in October 2005. When not training for a TNT event, Jennifer teaches Math to 3rd through 5th graders in Harlandale I.S.D., loves to travel, and enjoys anything outdoors.  She is also a HUGE sports fanatic.

Marathon San Antonio - Ronda Ottmers
Ronda has run 5 marathons and 10 half marathons. She is an alumnus of the Nike Women's Marathon, San Diego Rock 'n' Roll, San Antonio Marathon and San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll. Standing at the finish line and cheering the teammates on the course has changed her life. She says that she is honored to be part of this team and look forward to sharing her experience with you. She joined TNT with a friend and it gave her a chance to meet new people and have a regular exercise program. She has collectively raised $8,000 for LLS and has come to realize that she can do this for herself while at the same time helping others.

When Ronda isn't training or fundraising for TNT, she works full time as a building designer, a mother of 2 (Zachary and Ashley), a softball coach for CYO, a member of the Parent Teacher Association at St. Monica's Catholic School, and provides music liturgy for St. Monica's Church and ACTS Team.

Team In Training has been a terrific experience! She looks forward to getting to know each and everyone you during her involvement as a coach, both through training and fundraising.

Marathon San Antonio - Marissa Ramirez
Marissa Ramirez started with Team In Training as a participant in 2003.  She had no connection, just received a flyer in the mail and decided to check it out.  She realized the impact that the team had on others and made some amazing lifelong friends and has been with the team ever since.  She has completed many seasons with TNT and has been a mentor, captain, coach and everything in between.  She has completed several marathons, half marathons, and a triathlon with TNT.  Her favorite part of working with TNT is seeing all of the hard work everyone puts in throughout the season pay off when they reach the goal of crossing the finish line.
