I never go into 1st gear til I'm fully stopped. It bothers the shit out of me when I see people forcing it into first when rolling to a stop. Just be easy on it and wait til your fully stopped. No reason to make your syncro's work any harder than they have to. Also when you do adjustments to the rod, make SMALL adjustments and test it out. Small adjustments will make a big difference. There is also supposed to be a little bit of slop at the top of the pedal travel. I think it was about an 1" of slop IIRC.
