Forgot to take the pitot cover off the Turbulent. ASI started to increase OK then was airborne - doing 140 kts, when the Vne is only 104. Realised immediately, but was still climbing, so wasn't stalling, so pushed the nose down a little bit to give a bit of fat, waited for the cows to look about the right size and set cruise power,turned downwind, and eventually on to finals, set normal approach power, threshold in windscreen looked OK, maintained steady glideslope, no sweat. ( except that I was - a bit ! )

How did I let myself get into that position ? Long story, basically let myself get distracted and out of sequence.
