Ride it, do like 40 miles. Have the spokes tensioned. I ride bontrager 24 paired spoke wheels. I rode them for a bit had them trued and not a problem since then without an issue. I am maybe 30 lbs. lighter then you now. Ride them have the spokes re-tensioned and you won't have an issue. I think the mavic ksyrium are very high quality wheels. I would be more nervous with a wheel built on friday and not riden before the race. spokes loosen up a bit from initial flexing, i rode a 32 spoke 105 hub to alex rims they loosened up horribly at about 30 miles, so bad i had to stop and totally retrue the wheel on the side of the road. Why not just have a spoke replaced?
