HIM before IM.

1 week bad. 2 weeks. maybe not as bad (a lot of pros do it). 3 weeks. Okay idea. 4 weeks. good idea. 5 weeks. great idea. 6 weeks. Brilliant idea.

Depends, but if you have to ask…bad idea.

Ironman races aren’t very hard. I’d highly recommend doing a half ironman distance race the weekend before, and also a track session the night before. You’ll be fine! Give it a try.
