Don't make a habit of slowing during cornering, it can bite you back, get the habit of slowing to a suitable speed before you need to get off the vertical, if you find that a corner felt slow, it's OK - you can go back and have another try at it. If you habitually go in hot, the reverse ain't so easy.
