I also later found out that San Diego is known as the worst airport to land in because you have to take such a steep approach at the airport (Lindbergh Field).
That's probably another reason we'd be going way too fast.

They have spoilers which can slow down the plane. Additionally, they can leave the engines idle and pull the nose up a bit to brake even more. The only reason you were going fast is because since you didn't have flaps, going slow would cause the aircraft to stall and fall like a rock to the ground.
