The Lost Hero opens with Jason, Piper, and Leo wrecking the Grand Canyon Skywalk in true demigod fashion. After driving off a few monsters, Annabeth and Butch arrive to bring them to Camp Half-Blood.
Cue internal relationship monologue from Piper. However, this runs through her mind at the same time that the following conversation goes down.
In that last paragraph, Piper didn't black out; she simply couldn't see temporarily. This couldn't have lasted a more than a few seconds, or she'd have freaked out.
As for the entire conversation, it lasts for pretty much from their departure to their arrival at "a totally different place", which happens to be Camp Half-Blood. This couldn't have lasted more than a few minutes.
I ran through this conversation with my friend without telling him what it was for to ensure that it would sound natural. It never took more than 2 minutes, so I'll use 3 minutes to account for Piper's loss of eyesight and to consider a low-end.
Camp Half-Blood is in the Long Island sound.
Using this site, I get the distance from the Grand Canyon to Long Island to be 3413.86km.
3413860/(3*60)=18965m/s
or about mach 56.
Any god worth his beans is going to be faster than a pegasus. Percy as a 12-year-old with little training can combat Ares. At 13 he can face Atlas without dying horribly. At 14 he shits on Phobos. Most impressively, however, 15 years has him absolutely wrecking Hades and Hyperion and even combating Kronos. Then, at 16, Percy murders Polybotes, who fights with Poseidon. You probably know where I'm going with this :zaru
