S-Works tire in the rear? Sounds to me like a recipe for flats. Those are pretty thin, aren't they? I ran Specialized tires on an XC bike for a long time -- Ground Control mainly -- and learned quickly that the weight penalty for grid is well worth it, at least for a bigger guy like me.
I'd love to do the BC bike race someday. Great to read about your preparations and I look forward to hearing how it goes. Have a great race!
