That's about my average as well for a bit over 1300 hours.

Once, many years ago an small turboprop had to go around at Lansing

In our case, we were cleared into position and hold and not given
our take-off clearance when they sent the Gulfsteam around. We
offered to get off (would not have been a problem, they weren't
that close in).
