Hanging out in the Pack

I raced today and passed up all my teammates in the final sprint. After the race they were making jokes that I never go to the front of the pack to pull instead I just hang out in the middle until the final lap. Is it considered chicken sh$t for someone to not ride in the front of the pack and end up placing high in the race.

After a few races I come to know my weaknesses and a major one is recovery. For some reason it is pretty hard for me to recover from riding in front of the pack. Knowing this, I choose to stay hidden until the final lap. It's been working for me so why change it.
