An addition to the information provided by Toni Durizzi would by to fly
three equal length legs in an equalateral triangle. Average the three times
and calculate the airspeed.  This will compensate for head and crosswind
components.  A two way east-west direction or other direction does not
eliminate cross wind components and your calculated speed would be slower
because you would be crabbing your plane in both directions.  The three legs
eliminate this problem.
