Cheq, I have had exactly the same thing in the past. Its a strange phenomenon that I can't describe, kind of a weird feeling before your flight, which usually starts on your way on the airfield in the car. There is a strange feeling of "something isn't right" and you can't quite seem to put your finger on what it is. It can be illness, as in your case, but I believe there is something else to it also - I think Whirlybird was talking about this a while ago.............
The way to get over it is do exactly what you have done - reflect. By writing it up and identifying your actions, you have improved (my own diary helps me when I read back on some of the stuff!!).
So, onwards and upwards along this massive, never ending learning curve!!
