There are very few people I consider true sprinters. In pack sprints most people are kidding themselves and competing for something other than the win. This becomes even more true as you head up the categories. I can't figure out why, if you aren't going to win or have a good chance of winning a field sprint, you'd wait around for it. Especially in the 4's where they sprint like rats stuffed in someone's underwear half the time.

You don't even need upgrade points to get to a "3" anymore.

Attack. If that doesn't work, attack again. Train to attack. They are a low percentage deal but for most people sprints are a no percentage deal and I'd rather win a couple of races a year than have a great collection of 6th places.
