Once again, Keith Code is right. In the introduction to TOTW II, he talks about riding at 75 percent of your ability so that you've got enough mental margin to make progress.
I wasn't doing that when I crashed. I was riding at more like 85-90 percent.
Time to hit the books again....

Oh wow, sorry to hear that you went down! I hope you are ok. Do you know what happened to cause the crash, besides was you say riding at a higher percentage of your ability and not leaving enough margin for error?
Lowside, high side, trail braking, exit of the corner, entrance, tank slapper? The first step in "hitting the books again" and improving is to sort out what you did wrong, what you could have done instead and then going from there.
I'll do what I can to help
