My brisket stalled at 152 for 3 hours at a comp in Waco and I panicked and wrapped it too early

I was running a 22 inch WSM at the Heart of Texas BBQ Cookoff last month, hit the stall hard at 152 and wrapped in butcher paper way before it was ready, and the flat came out dry as a cracker, so has anyone else jumped the gun on the wrap and how do you talk yourself into waiting?
