Gear review & route review

Hi all, I am planning to do the TMB from 4/7 until 10/7. I am looking for feedback on my gearlist and route. I will do the route in 7 days starting in Les Valettes close to Martigny and will do the route anti clockwise. I won't use huts but will use my tent.

From To Distance Elevation meters Descending
Martigny / Les Valettes Col de Balme 21,1 2290 740
Col de Balme Refuge Bellachat 24,7 1580 1650
Refuge Bellachat Camping du Pontet 28,3 1170 2110
Camping du Pontet Refuge des Mottets 22,6 1640 940
Refuge des Mottets Camping Grandes Jorasses 23,6 1100 1780
Camping Grandes Jorasses Camping la fouly 25,2 1370 1380
Camping la fouly Martigny / Les Valettes 23,1 530 1480

Is this a realistic route for someone who is experienced in hiking and trekking with a tent? For reference I did part of the Westweg in the Black forest last autumn averaging 1000-1200 elevation meters and 35KM a day. Currently my gear is +-2/3kg lighter and my condition/endurance is slightly better.
