Y'know what? I totally do this too. I blitz through, riding the high of the story, and then when I re-read it, I realize the whole thing lurches around like Frankenstein on a crack bender.
So then I go back in and add scenery descriptions and depict my character's emotions, because those are the things I always forget in the first draft. And description acts like a throttle to slow down the pace of the story.
What's on the page can be fixed. Have faith in yourself; you can make it work.
