Well here in Brazil we use the word sprint to mean "desesperatly  
running in one direction." like I regard that there are two ways of  
running, you can run to someplace or you can run from some thing. So  
some weeks ago, when some very creative brazilian almost hammed me  
over with his pickup truck and after me cursing him by being a bad  
driver, he stopped his car and went out carrying a very big pistol, I  
entered sprint mode or "run for your life mode" and manage to run  
more than a km in less than two minutes...

That's how I classify sprints. Code sprints are similar in the  
analogy that you code as if your life depended on that...
