What on earth are you trying to do flying at 10 knots over the stall speed while doing a performance landing?

Do you know how much extra energy you having to get rid of by carrying an extra 16% speed?

No wonder you think those fields are tight. Try doing a glide appoach at a more suitable 63knts and see how little runway you require.
