In my opinion, provided you have a solid base and are fit you will probably have two good races.

Maybe one thing to consider is practicing some very pro-active recovery techniques after the first 1/2. Massage, excellent nutrition, good sleep, light training to stay loose, another massage. What you do between the two events will have a lot to say about the quality of your second event. You can do it though, Good Luck! I bet you'll do fine!

I consider myself a newbie in this sport (for how many years can I keep calling myself that?? <grin>). I did my first 1/2 last summer and I easily could have done another one the next weekend. No recovery problems whatsoever. I don't think you'll have a problem at all, especially since the first one will be at a relatively easy pace.
