Sometimes even dropped to 8km/h. n The sun was shining directly on me(I live in a tropical weather). May I know what improvement here I need to do? Endurance? Intervals? need more food?

Was I exhausted?

What do I need to do next to hammer the 'upcoming' 100km+ rides without feeling dead?
Certainly not enough information here to make any kind of conclusive deduction.
Many things could be the root of your experience including dehydration, bonking (lack of available nutrition), virus, or lack of proper training.
