Yeah, the position that works for a ~6h ride (with hands on tops) is probably a smidge too low for 12h-15h a day for Audax. If you hand position is too low and you're putting too much weight on the hands it will just lead to pain in the hands/wrists.
Like others I solved this with aerobars, but I rarely actually use them properly (i.e. with my elbows on the pads) but often ride along holding the pads lightly with my hands, that helps raise my hands up an inch or two so I don't put as much weight on them.
