Also, as I time my count several times each season, I tend to be a slightly slow counter, never a fast counter.

Figured (incorrectly) that the timekeeper started the game clock late.

I was wrong, my error was for a completely different reason having nothing to do with a fast count or a slow starting game clock that I only realized well after the game.
