Yes, you might try our Tactics Training (http://www.chess.com/tactics) so that you will be able to spot things quickly in games. Also, as you have stated practicing in quicker time controls may also be good. For this you can try out our Live Chess play (http://www.chess.com/play/live.html)

skibum777> other then getting used to quick settings?

Since you're in the United States I assume these are USCF-rated events. Are you using a delay clock so you always have at least 5 seconds / move?
