Others will probably give you good advice on getting stronger.
One thing I discovered while training for my first century last fall was that you need to learn to eat. You need to know how to keep your power curve up, learning what to eat, how frequently etc. I started off with quarter of a PB&J just before the race, and continued with Bananas, Oatmeal&Raisin cookies, other quarters of the PB&J and Accelerade on a regular basis. Plenty of water too. I had a 2 liter Camelbak and another liter of water in backup.
Good luck.
