Some good comments! Just some food for thought, how many of you would have gone around with 500meters of available tarmac runway and doing 80knots at 20ft? If you over-run you risk running into the wet grass at the airfield and turning over. That's why I elected to go-around besides it was floating and would keep floating - it's a DA40!!
I think at my speed, I was chewing up 41 meters per second (80 knots = 92mph) So by the time I elected to go-around 350-400meters of runway was available.
I am competent. I love a personal dig! Nobody is infallible, so mistakes do happen. It's how we can learn from them! Hence why I posted it online because I share my flying experiences and adventures safely.

Or no flaps
Are you two making an assumption that the pilot is competent? That could be a factor worth considering.
