Well you've still got time to make fixes to bike fit, riding form, whatever to it make it possible to do the the full ride. It's all part of the training.

But sometimes it just make sense to cut your losses and do the shorter distance. If you've got repetitive strain injuries, more repetition will just mean more injury. There's no shame if you realize you need to adjust your plans.
