Wow, a pound of corned beef...
I buy a pound of roast beef for sandwiches and it last 3 - 4 days..
A pound of corned beef, no less...
Your coronary arteries closed 1/3 that day and your blood became molasses...
It is a good thing you survived the ride...
Ya, look at it that way...
Be proud you were able to eat a pound of corned beef and finish a century...
Holy *****, that's an accomplishment...

7,000 calories for a century is a bogus number. Let me guess, you have a Garmin. If you really want to know calories expended, you have to use a HRM (and a computer that actually uses it to do the calculation).
In any case, you should never exceed about 250-300 calories per hour unless you're into GI distress for fun. You just can't absorb any more than that.

I have no idea about eating corned beef on a century but I do know this:
1) Everybody who is anybody knows that the Mill Basin deli in Brooklyn has the best corned beef.
2) Corned beef is just for people too weak to eat pastrami.

apparently there's a deli in Jersey just off from the bridge from Manhattan - that Robert Di Neiro often goes to - apparently it's kick-butt really good food.

In addtion to the other digestive issues noted, the problem was likely that you were dehydrated prior to eating the CBS, long before you felt thirsty in the 2nd half. Your body wanted water and you gave it meat, which made it need more water. Often a feeling of food craving after (or in your case during) a ride is really water craving in disguise.
How much water did you drink in the 1st half before lunch and what was the temp in Ohio during this century (wasn't it quite hot this weekend in the midwest?)

Hey, at least I didn't eat the pickle.... Seriously though, I burned over 7,000 calories on that ride so the last thing on my mind was eating too much. By your calculations, I ingested 1,136 (Corned Beef) + 200 (2 packs of GU) + 230 (1 CLIF bar) + 150 (3 Gatorades) + 100 (banana) = 1800 total calories. Hey I guess I'm helping OH move to the 14th fattest state.
The rule of thumb is 40 calories per mile. A little less if you're drafting, it's flat, or you're a flyweight. A little more if you're hammering by yourself into the wind, up big hills, or you're a Clydesdale.
