A couple of weeks ago I got lit at a party to celebrate my high ACT score. Long story short, some dumba$$ posted a picture of me on Facebook and my coach saw it. He was really pissed and suspended me from not one, not two, but THREE RACES!! I’m the #2 or #3 and the team really needs me! Now you might say that I can benefit from this because I get to skip the meaningless opening races which is true to some extent BUT my coach is forcing me to do either TT on Fridays or race against JV. I’m trying to walk-on a college team since I just started running year round last year and I’m missing out on some decently competitive invites while wasting a racing effort. What gives? Is my coach in the right for doing this? I know a ton of runners that have a good night out and run just as well as they would otherwise so don’t say that I shouldn’t try to have a decent social life over the SUMMER.
