Solid race to build on, Jeremy — you actually led the field in sector 3 at your best, and your lap times improved by 3.87s as the race went on, which tells me you were finding your rhythm rather than fading. Your opportunity is stringing those good sectors together on the same lap: there's a 9.05s gap between your best lap and your ideal lap, and sector 3 is the biggest swing factor there. Take that improving trend as your takeaway — you were still getting faster at lap 8, so next time trust that pace earlier in the race instead of easing into it.
