Next time

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 75 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 75 ft, 30 ft earlier than the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

See Arrival Landing

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.
