Any idea on what the strike speed is for a Burmese Python?

Yesterday I was handling one of my friend's Burmse pythons. She's 6-7 feet long. She's usually a very friendly and tolerant snake, she had need fed 2 days before, & had just washed my hands. The only thing on them was possibly blueberry & cherry smell from my smoothie. Anyways I was holding her when all of a sudden she just up and struck at my hand. She connected, but didn't constrict. I didn't jerk away & gently removed her teeth from my hand. I'm cleaning it well, hydrogen peroxide and neosporin. It's super sore now and not bruised a ton, it just hurts a lot more than I thought tiny pin pricks would. How strong is their bite force and how fast is their strike? Someone compared it to a boxer's jab or right hook. Is that true?
