Until I've got the bike pointed is my answer for both.

However, because I've been letting off before really getting the bike pointed where it ought to be going, I wind up making more than one input. I've held pressure until I've got the bike pointed but it's not pointing the right way. I'll be LOOKING a the apex, but I won't have steered the bike enough to GET to the apex.

After this instructional session, I started thinking more about "getting there," thinking to go TO the apex, not just go by it.
