Experience is the key, by far.
Why? Well you cannot properly adapt without knowing what needs to be changed alot, what needs to be changed some and what does not need any changing. How are you going to know these things? Well...experience.
If you do not know what to do in normal circumstances, how in the world are you going to know what to do in unordinary circumstances.
In order to adapt, you must know what needs to be changed and without experience or somewhere there guiding you, you will not know what it is that needs to be changed.
Mind you, you can get lucky with what you do in the beginning, but luck eventually runs out.
You just showed that both experience and adaptation come together.
No matter how much exp you have, if you don't know how to change and when to change you are pretty much screwed.
