It's called "buzzer brain". Newer shooters tend to be most afflicted, but even experienced shooters get tripped up occasionally.
Things will seem less chaotic as you participate more, so you'll be able to relax and visualize yourself running the stage beforehand. It can take a while to get to that point, though. Be patient. In the meantime, dry fire. Regular dry fire drills help ingrain gun handling skills, so draws and reloads etc become one less thing to think about during the match.
As you've discovered, this type of shooting, especially with a little pressure, is far different from most typical range outings. Those who can leave their ego in the car become much better shooters, though.
Glad you had a good time.
