So how fast can you go?

Speed Skating - It’s not everyone’s bag, but how fast can you go? Are you just a little curious? Like anyone that’s been to the Sk8school Skate Theory Class, I know that “Rockered” is not as fast as “Flat Setup” (If you don’t know what that is - well get yourself along to the theory next time its on!).However I still managed a respectable 31kmh on the sprint. How do I know? I used a GPS speedo application and just read the speed of my GPS enabled mobile phone display! It’s by no means totally accurate - I should think there’s a good +/- 4kmh on that, but it’s still a useful indication. Additionally holding your phone, so you can read it tends to cramp the flow (and therefore top speed) somewhat.

Quite looking forward to practising the same run, “Flat” to see what the speed improvement is…

Anyone else got a similar application  on their phone and tried the same? What’s the best you’ve done?
