Subject: A week break in a 17 week program

I'm scheduled to start a 17 week HIM training program shortly.  But, I will be out of town for all of week 4.  I may be able to run some, but I will have no bike and probably no pool. Should I just start the program a week early and move weeks 1-4 up a week and then start with week 5 when I get back?  Or maybe move weeks 1-3 up 2 weeks and do week 3 again when I return?  Advice?

personally, I don't think it would matter much what you do. starting a week early maybe the best. I would however run as much as possible during that "off" week.

Wouldn't week 4 be a recovery week anyway? 17 weeks is kind of an odd number so I'm just wondering aloud here. If it were me and if it wasn't a recovery week I would bump weeks 1-4 back one week. Is it possible to over-prepare for a HIM?
