I did ujayii breath for the first time today throughout the practice, I never did that before. Now my throught is a little scratchy, it maybe getting sore.

Did I do it wrong?

Possibly.......so you could be getting a cold.....
Ujayi breath should not be loud or sound like a steam train.....it is a gentle contraction in the throat not a strong tension....the breath should sound/feel more like a gentle sea washing up and down on the beach..........
If it feels like you are tensing and forcing then yes you are doing it wrong.

Is it normal for someone who does it for the first time (for an hour and a half straight) to get a scratchy throat? It's a little uncomfortable but it's not sore, I think my throat became very dry or something, I didn't drink anything the whole time.

no it should not hurt you....you probably over did it.
Try softer next time.
