After a 30 minute test drive a noticed the front of the hood( when closed) was very hot to the touch. It had a newish OEM insulated hood pad installed.

Is this normal?

The temperature gauge was just under 100.

Not sure where you are in US but considering we are all still in late winter season 100C is way high of a coolant temperature. Mine hardly ever goes above 90c. It rides between 85c-90c. And I have not noticed that my hood get's that hot. I would check the thermostat and your radiator fan as well.
