Pre-Competition Embouchure Fatigue

Hi, I've been playing the soprano clarinet for the past six years, and I'm preparing for my state's annual regional competition. I always get a little under the weather about a week before things like this, which causes my embouchure to weaken rapidly. This has never been a problem before, because I usually play only five minutes songs, but this year, I'm doing Bernstein's 10 minute Sonata for Clarinet and Piano, and I can't play all the way through it before my corners give out! The competition is in five days (Saturday the 6th).
Thanks!
