You won't do that again. :lol: The trim is part of the retracting flaps memory motion, automatic.

Assuming no big obstacles retracting flaps will ease the trim effort. Every 180/182 driver needs to do a takeoff with full flaps and landing trim so they know what to expect during a go-around.
My CFI always insists we come to a full stop, retract flaps, and reset trim when we leave the runway with the 180. It is a very good habit to get into, especially if you are moving fast and trying to get into a busy pattern. It is strange that a simple flow check would show a problem, even knowing that and having missed things in the past I still forget to do it sometimes. One of them human nature things I guess.

Steve,
Because of what you experienced I do the following:
Stop trimming on approach at 80 instead of 60ish.
On a go around add power followed by setting the flaps to 20 (10 if you have it).
Start trimming nose down(at least 5-8 rolls).
if trimming is difficult then unload the elevator while trimming.
Recheck to make sure you have full power.
