inadequate prepositions

Hi teachers,

I don't know what prepositions go with 'inadequate'. Dictionary: I felt inadequate to the task.

Can you say:

I felt inadequate at delivering the speech.

Thanks

If you mean you felt that way while you were speaking, it's "I felt inadequate delivering the speech" or "I felt inadequate while delivering the speech."
