Went for my first century today. 103km, 1020m of climbing, 75% (wet) trails and gravel. Took me over 5 hours but who cares. Fueling went better than expected but still cramped with 15km to go but managed to pull trough.

With Those conditions and elevation gain on a gravel bike, 5 hours isn’t exactly poor.
That is excellent. Well done.
You did great. Not a slow ride at all for those conditions.
Start hydrating 48 hours ahead of big rides. And remember that you are dehydrated every morning. Start drinking the moment you wake up.
