It's none of my business of course, but this just seems an idiosyncratic choice of bike for the job at hand. I generally applaud idiosyncrasies in bike choice but this seems a bit left field for the sake of it.
I somehow doubt that a thin tubed, stiff, race bike would be terribly comfy for long, long distances, and you lose the piece of mind of being able to fix it if it breaks.
It's presumably a pricey bike, and I'd have thought that something something in steel with race geo (if that's what you want, something slightly more relaxed might be more suitable) that's been built to fit you could be got for a similar price.
