Keep adding water, stirring well and taking the mash temp until you hit your final rest temp. Beware that it always takes more boiling water to raise your mash temps than you think.

Have you considered a 131F protein rest? 131 is at the upper range of protease activity and its not as big a jump so its easier to get up to saccharafication temps.
