Raising Flaps While Gear is Retracting

How did you go from being so fast that the airplane ballooned into a climb at the flare,  to where you had to apply full throttle to just have a hard landing?  It takes a while to bleed off that much speed, perhaps ten seconds.

"How did you get from 10 feet to 500 feet per minute with an anemic rate of climb?"   

...In other words, I had good airspeed in ground effect, but I traded most of that energy when I made the initial climb.  As we started to climb above ground effect we discovered we had an unusually low climb rate...

  ...All I can say, is don't raise your flaps (all the way) and gear at the same time on a hot day, because you won't like the sensation.
