One thing I noticed during those 3 seconds was that I didn't feel as hazy as I am in non-lucid dreams.

Yeah... the traditional excited yourself awake type phenomena. Nevertheless, you succeeded so congratulations! Try to get it in your head to take it slow. I have had 5 lucid dreams, of those 4 were less than 1 minute long each because I got in a rush. The long one (10 minutes) was because I was very set and focused on taking it slow. I gotta get that in my brain again... Last night I had a lucid dream where I pretty much decided to jump out of a moving car (through the roof) and go where I wanted to be. Problem is, I forgot to decide where I wanted to be... hehe I jumped through the roof into blackness... and woke up. Woops.
