Solid race, Chris — you finished P7 across 8 laps and you were actually getting faster as the race went on, dropping about 2 seconds by the end. That trend is worth remembering: it means you were finding your rhythm, not fading, so trust that warm-up process next time.
Your sector 2 is your rock — build the rest of your lap around that confidence. The clear opportunity is sector 1, where the inconsistency is costing you the most: your ideal lap of 35.31s versus your actual best of 36.31s shows a full second on the table, almost all of it there. Focus your next practice session on smoothing out sector 1 entries, and that consistency gain alone could move you up the order.
