Not a lot of people can run 11mph for any distance, though.

They can only do that for about half of one body length though. It's not really a run, so much as a spring forward to surprise something with their murder mouth, and then pull it back into the water.

No, sorry, that's not true. And another one.

TL;DR;

They can run 35mph in that short sprint you're talking about. Then they can run at a slower (though faster than most humans) pace for a sustained period of roughly 100 feet (30ish meters for the non-'mericans).

No, that's 30mph that they can only do for a few feet.
