What is your nutrition strategy on long rides? It sounds like that could have been the issue. I'm one of those people that knows better, but I still get myself into trouble here, particularly if it's not a hot day.

For a long distance ride like a century, you need to start taking fuel on right away so you don't get into a deficit that it's hard to bounce back from. Keep the fuel coming consistently, eating before you're hungry and drinking before you're thirsty.
