Point well taken. I'm fairly new to the BFs and not sure what the local colloquialisms are and how they are defined. Back in my running days in x-country 400 meters could be a sprint. It all depends on your definition of sprint. I'll mind my verbiage more in the future to make it more BF appropriate.
