The pace for this time should feel fairly comfortable and give you a nice confidence boost ahead of race day that the early stages will be enjoyable.
This is the Icklesham race (don’t have a preset page for it yet, hence why it says 45 mins tempo). My one concern would be that of all the runs in the plan this week, which one has the potential to cause the hill the most damage? Arguably the uneven trail run. But I understand your decision to want to run this one, given you’ve paid, but I did want to put that out there. I know Will & Nick were dangling some free entries around, so perhaps if you were concerned and did mention your circumstances they would be happy to carry your entry over to the next race. All that said, if you are fit, or decide the heel is good to go, have a great race, try and keep the RPE consistent, both up and down the hills. I’m sure it will be a lot of fun. I’m definitely keen to do one of these races one day, just need it to slot into my schedule better.
