The weather conditions today were less than optimal for bike racing (i.e. too windy), so I decided to see how long it would take me to complete the 2.5 mile loop on inline skates. The answer is 14m20s. :-P I'm sure I could have beat your record, but I didn't have the proper aerodynamic form. ;-)
The killer was the 100 ft. hill climb. My back was killing me, but I wasn't even halfway done. But on the downhill I impressed myself by hitting a top speed of 24mph (I was carrying my car's GPS). There were a couple of times I started to panic when I thought I was going to wipe out, but I maintained my composure.
