Yes, after Half #1, one day off per hour of racing, then a quick peak phase and 1 week taper.
Should I take a week for recovery and then a short peak phase?

No, just a one week pre-Half #2 taper.
Should I extend my taper for the second race?

You won't need a tune up. Racing a shorty will just take away from valuable long bike, brick, or long run time.
Should I have a sprint or Oly tri in the middle as a tune-up?
I'm working towards my first season of half-IM tris, and I'm currently at week 15 of 20 for the first one in mid-July. I have another one 5wks after at the end of August.
How should I focus over those 5wks? Should I take a week for recovery and then a short peak phase? Should I extend my taper for the second race? Should I have a sprint or Oly tri in the middle as a tune-up?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
