My daughter is a triathlete who competes for Alabama’s club team. She also takes about 18 hours a semester in order to do a double major. I will be honest and say that she struggled this year (her sophomore year and second year in a sorority) to balance her training, her studying, and her sorority requirements. I don’t think she handled it as well as she should have – maybe if she had talked to those in charge and explained her training needs a little better they would have been more flexible. In the end, she was called up before her sorority’s judicial board and we ended up having to pay a fine because she missed some chapter meetings and service hour opportunities. I didn’t mind paying, because she missed the events so that she could participate in some of the group rides offered at the local bike store (it’s not safe for her to ride on her own outside Tuscaloosa city limits). I think both activities have great value for her, and we just do what it takes to make it work.
