Skating track?

It's a very windy day. Strong wind had piled snow on the skating track at some parts of the course. Mostly the snow had just made the track narrower, but at one spot the entire track was covered with snow and I had to walk about 50 metres on snow wearing the skates.

Of course skating on a hard headwind was painfully slow but in tailwind I could skate really fast. Since the ice surface is a bit bumpy reaching such a speed was actually a bit scary. Scary but enjoyable. I skated 23 kilometres today. Glad the ice is again in such a condition that skating is enjoyable.
