Make sure to bring a few sets of spare brake pads and split-pins, as well as small pair of pliers to change them.
And check your pads every lap - on a 12hr race last year my friend's pads wore all the way through the friction material, then through the backing pad, then started wearing into the pistons... you don't want to do that.
Incidentally I am wondering if it's possible to make a device, similar to a flint-catcher I suppose, that slices off excess mud before it leads to complete clogging of the chainring.
