The 2005 US Nationals that starts Monday January 3 and will be Carl Swenson’s first race on US soil this season. The national team member left for Europe and World Cup racing in early November and returned right before Christmas. Carl is traditionally the best US skater and was close to both a medal and winning the 50-kilometer skate race at the 2003 Worlds. Those who can beat Carl in skating at National should do well!
