another shifting question

After the recent oil change and more seat time my shifting skills are improving. both upshifting and downshifting. After a good 45 minute ride I start missing 2nd gear. It goes into neutral from 1st. My question is...is this me or the bike? Is the oil and motor/trans getting hot and need a little extra kick to get into gear or is it me getting tired and not realizing my weakness? I get into all the other gears just fine. up and down no problem. Its just from 1st to 2nd and only after about 45 min or so. When everything is "cold" no problems. Any suggestions? I am real comfortable with the shifter position so I really don't want to adjust that.
