Just how does one perform a *Go-Around* in a glider?

To perform at the Watsonville airshow, Drew Pierce had to demonstrate
to one of the organizers that the Duo Discus could do
a go-around from 200 feet if necessary (if someone or something
wandered onto the airfield).

I suppose that still air and a long runway means that
carrying the extra speed on the first pass for the possible go-around
wasn't a big deal. I've done a go around in the PW-5
(360) using extra speed and a low pass, and boy I JUST made it back
around, and I kicked myself later (nobody else was
around to kick me). I'd prefer something with more
inertia and less drag...
