Congratulations on getting through it! A massage sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. I'd like to look into one for myself, matter of fact, and I haven't been doing anything more strenuous than dogsitting. ;)
I didn't finish my first century either; no shame in that ... as you say, work on the climbing and get more miles into your legs, you'll do fine next time.
Yeah, I'm gonna be buying myself one of those 'lift your rear wheel off the floor and put it on the roller' devices to practice riding indoors all winter. The Montauk Century's in May and it's reputedly the easiest century in the NYC area. Plus, they start training rides for it as early as February.
