Any personal stories from those who made the jump from 70.3 to 140.6 triathlons? I’ve completed 3 70.3s in the last calendar year and probably have enough base fitness to train up for the Florida full.

Bike volume in long distance triathlon is key. For fulls I’m really only running 30 miles a week. But biking 150-200. I would get in 2 pool swims per week (~3k each) and then some open water work (not every week) on the weekends. You can probably get away with a bit less volume depending on how well you want to do / current fitness level

You’ll be totally fine. I’ve only done one 70.3 and one 140.6 and did them a few years apart. Same $hit, just more of it. Of course you’ll need more concentration on fueling during training and the race. If there was anything else I would have done differently it’s more strength and mobility work. More recovery especially considering how solid a base you likely have.

I wasn’t a beginner but never did that distance. I started a few weeks ahead in terms of time/distance because I had more base fitness then they assume you have but after about 5 weeks I started following pretty close

Should I complain to a firm's HR if the interviewers laughed at my answer during an interview? Maybe it sounded scripted but it was still heartfelt and genuine: my immigration story and how that made me appreciate the rule of law. I said it soo many times during OCI's that maybe it eventually sounded robotic, but for the interviewers to laugh and one to say sarcastically "nice elevator pitch", I thought was rude. Thoughts?

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range.
