    Penalty Loop Podcast Episode 97 RJ's Stories from Canmore 2023-2024

    Penalty Loop Podcast Episode 97 RJ's Stories from Canmore 2023-2024

    In part 1 of our recap of the conclusion of the World Cup biathlon season in Canmore we have story time with RJ! He shares the tales of his weekend mixing and mingling with fans, athletes and coaches and gives us the sense of what it was like on the ground as the greatest biathletes in the world converged on Canada. In this episode we hear:
    - His day by day and race by race memories
    - Hear about some of the athletes that he was able to interview (interviews will be included in part 2). 
    This episode is far more about the general feel of the weekend and less discussion and analysis of the racing. But it was an absolutely joy to record so I hope you give it a listen!
