I've done about 20 centuries. Maybe twice I didn't come to a point at about 70 to 80 miles where I wondered what kind of idiot must I be to do something like this. Sometimes it's worse than others, but it almost always happens. Usually it gets better before the end of the ride, depending on the terrain, how well I've eaten and hydrated, heat, moon phase, whatever. Sounds like you may have pushed a little too hard in the early part of the ride. But I wouldn't worry. I think you are preparing well and you'll do fine.
