I guess my 1st rides and last rides aren’t optimal but my middle ones are.

I just bought an inflator for my compressor so maybe I’ll be more inclined to verify my pressure more often.
Good luck getting to 100 PSI with a micro pump. Have used my Topeak Race Rocket HP quite a bit before I went tubeless. On a 28 tire it took about 150 strokes to get it to around 65. The strokes take a lot more force as you go higher. I still carry the pump but haven't flatted since going tubeless about a year and a half ago. I was flatting 6-8 times a year before that.

As mentioned above, definitely get something with a hose.
