Default RE: Time to fly a Sequence. Do you record it? Intermediate?

When I fly the new Intermediate Sequence with my Osiris 62, I have the timer set for 5 min on my Airtronics SD-10G, I can complete the Sequence and make one knife edge pass across the field, land and taxi back to the pit and then my timer goes off. If the wind is fairly strong, I can still complete the Sequence, but don't have enough time for any more aerobatics. The timer will be going off when I start my landing approach.
I fly a fairly tight pattern, and I like the way the new Intermediate Sequence flows, and It's fairly easy to keep every thing in the box. I estimate that my Osiris is flying at about 70mph. I may change the prop and go to a larger diameter with less pitch and see if I like the way the Osiris flys the Sequence with less speed. It should also give me more down line braking.
