Subject: 4 weeks to tri - very out of shape!

Very overweight 57 yo female planning on attempting 2nd tri; completed 1st one a year ago - but I am very late and very inconsistent - I know that starting today I must train consistently.

My only goal (again) is to complete it, but it would be nice to increase my speeds slightly. 

Planning on doing the last 4 weeks of the 3x per week balanced plan, but I don't know if it will be enough, since the final week before the race will be an "easy" week.

Should I scratch plans for this tri, and schedule a different one later?

Or just get off my rear and see what happens?

Go for it! Having a tangable goal will keep you focused and working hard all the way till race day. Every race is a chance to learn something, and the feeling of completion will propel you into your next race.

Since you've done one before you have some idea what to expect. You know which parts were most challenging. Use that as a guide to train hard for the next month.

You can do it!
