Durn thermals over the
runway kept the plane from landing, just didn't want to stop flying
even with my airspeed at 55 knots over the numbers.

If the airplane is empty, with one on board, re-calculate your speeds
based on the actual aircraft weight, not on the max gross weight book
values, and fly those speeds.

Another trick is to take out one notch of flaps while simultaneously
raising (electric flap and trim motors run at the same speed) the nose
once you have crossed the threshhold and are in the flair.
