That's because you're breathing diferently by the time you get there and you're experiencing lip fatigue from embouchure instability. It's a classic thing. The breathing is the place to start, though. Big breaths to maintain relaxation all the time! The breath you take when you take a running start at it is different form sneaking in sips and then trying to support the embouchure with those sips.
