Caulking the tub took me 3 full days, is that normal or am I doing it backwards?

I spent Monday scraping old silicone, Tuesday applying new beads, and Wednesday redoing the corners because I didn't tape them right, so do you guys mask off first or just freehand and wipe, and how long did your first tub job actually take?

Took me three days too the first time, but mostly because my cat kept sitting in the wet silicone. Every time I turned around he was parked right where I needed to run the bead. Ended up scraping the whole thing off on day two and starting fresh. Now I just close the bathroom door and let him yell at me from the hallway.
