Hi and welcome to the forum.
If this is your first event like this I recommend you just plan to do this as part of your training and do not alter the overall plan too much.
Plan to walk on many of the steeper/longer hills to keep your HR in Z2. Otherwise the recovery time you need after the race will be long and negatively affect the overall plan.
If you HR does get above Z2 for some bits that is to be expected when racing but if you spend 23km with you HR in Z3 it will take longer to recover and upset your aerobic development. If you need a target, try to limit the total time above AeT to 20% of the race time.
I hope this helps,
Scott
