In Over My Head?

Noob here, never toured before. Have been working all summer and decided to take a week off before I go back to school. Bought a bike, acquiring all the gear and I'm planning on a 600 mile trip in 6 days. Am I dumb? Haven't rode a bike at all really the whole summer. How will I fare attempting this? Granted, I am in good shape, and I'm young and determined so I have that going for me. My main worry is waking up after the first day of 100 miles and not being able to stand up. Also worried about ass complications. I have ridden 100 miles in a day before (last summer) but never consecutive days of any significant distance. Anyone spontaneously go on a tour this distance with little prep? Would love tips no matter how big or small. Or if you want to dissuade me that's fine too I am willing to face my ignorance. Thanks.
