Talking about sprint speeds?

All this talk of sprints in the "Race 2 Replace" thread has me curious...

What is a good amateur sprint speed at the end of a race? I've clocked in at 32.5mph on flat ground solo with no wind and I thought "damn, I suck... no way I'm going to try the crits yet". Is 32.5mph really that bad? I figure I could probably squeak another 1-1.5mph out if I had some insentive or adrenalin pumping in a race situation but by myself about 32mph is all I'm good for.
