Generally the cliche "better late than never" is used by individuals that either procrastinate or are legitimately slow to accomplish tasks/assignments, but do somehow manage to eventually produce a final product. "To run or go at top speed, especially for a short distance", defines the quintessential sprinter. I am not a sprinter, there exist no fast twitch fibers in my universe, which includes, at times, the process of writing race reports. By no means do sprint distance races demand less coverage than the longer distance varieties. Shorter races provide a venue that meets many objectives, as: easier for the race director to plan, an entry level event for those new to triathlon, a race for those that prefer speed over distance, and finally, one that is most likely safer for all participants. "Go long or go home", another little quip sometimes heard by athletes doing long distance triathlons, usually bellowed out by a race observer that most likely has never "gone long". The sprinters however should be recognized for their perception in race selection, going fast for a short distance seems to allow the athlete to resume his/her day after the race and pursue a multi-threaded lifestyle. Whereas the 'go long or go home" motto, in reality, becomes "go long and go home and become disfunctional for a few days", ie. challenged by stairs. Hence, congratulations to all the astute finishers of the sprint triathlon. Local, semi-local and "fringe", ie. Gaviota, La Conchita, etc, area, results follow below. VB
