If found your comment about how some took the event seriously and some did not. So I took special note of the skates everyone was using. Certainly if you go to the expense of purchasing the long bladed speed skates, you are serious. The hockey skaters may or may not be serious but they are having fun as well. A fun time was had by all, including the photographer.
