When running about 70 mpw though at a much slower pace than you, I have raced half-marathons a week apart and ran better in the second race than in the first. If you were accustomed to running that distance, I'd say 5 days is enough recovery before resuming workouts, given your high weekly mileage. The wild card is that you haven't raced that distance before, so it's a little hard to know what to expect.

Jack Daniels calls for a day of easy running per 3k raced which works quite well for me. So you can have your next hard session in 6-7 days.

Anyways, if you already started to taper just go for it. The recovery week afterwards is a great mental break
