Sounds like even if you ride a triple, might be a little over your head with so little experience and so little time to train. However, you never know what the motivated mind is capable of - just make sure your ego/confidence isn't in for a huge hit if you have to bail. Trying isn't going to kill you, but you might be sore for a while...just read up on right preparation/eating/drinking guidelines and you'll be fine no matter what the outcome. The only person who knows your motivation and level of fitness is you. It often helps mentally to drive the course first to understand where the trouble spots for you are likely to be. This will also give you a boost of confidence if you get over some of those spots feeling good.
