Penalty Loop Biathlon Podcast Episode 36 Jordan interviews RJ Part 1

As discussed and announced a number of times (by us and others) it is time to pause the interviews with biathletes and coaches who have achieved amazing things in the world of biathlon, and go with two people that haven't.... us. But it allows you to learn a bit more about the two hosts of this podcast; their background, passion for biathlon and other things, and life in general.
This is the first part of the interview with Jordan being the interviewer and RJ the interviewee. Part 2 will be posted on Thursday.
We hope you have fun listening, and next week we'll switch back to an amazing guest, followed by two episodes of RJ interviewing Jordan.
Cheers!

In this episode, Jordan was unable to make it, so you're stuck with RJ talking about biathlon data! Data nerds pay attention, this episode will be just up your alley! He goes into detail on where the data comes from, how he gets it and uses it, some tips and tricks for other users and the tool he uses for analysis and visualization. And a well deserved shout-out to RealBiathlon.com
Have fun!
