1. Get an idea of how far you're comfortable riding in a day, and leave room for the unexpected. I've actually been able to finish a 2500 and 4800 mile ride on the day I planned to, but I did so by adjusting my break days and riding time towards the end.
2. Have options for places to stay at night. Since you've already been between your start and finish locations, this should be pretty easy. Basically, make sure you don't end up running out of daylight hours away from someplace to sleep. I prefer to try and leave myself multiple choices, to compensate for good winds, strong riding, distractions or whatever else might come up.
3. Same as 2 but with food and water. Have enough with you that you aren't relying on any one place to resupply unless you're positive that you'll be able to. I spent one night drinking water I got out of an irrigation ditch, and while it turned out okay (I filtered and boiled it), I wouldn't want to do so again if I could help it.
4. Take your time and enjoy the ride. One of the reasons I like traveling by bicycle so much is how intimately you get acquainted with the land you travel through. Stop, take pictures, look back and where you've come from and ahead at where you're going and if possible, spend nights in places which are different from where you might stay anywhere else.
