Switching to Clipless Pedals 5 weeks before race

Thank you so much to everyone that answered my post. Your words of encouragement are very motivating. I am scheduled to be fit for the pedals and will have considerable time both using them first in a trainer and then will spend considerable time in a nearby parking lot clipping and unclipping and hopefully not falling too much. I am excited to feel the difference, especially on the hilly course of the Triathlon I am doing in November.

Is it a wise idea to switch to clipless pedals just 5 weeks before a race. Is this enough time to practice and get used to them. I am have been scared off by all the talk of falling, but I also am attracted by all the talk of how much better my ride will be.

I am considering making the switch to clipless pedals. My race is in 5 weeks. Is this enough time to practice and get used to the pedals? I hear they will really make a difference on the hilly course but I have been scared off until now with all the talk about falling.

Thanks for the help.
