ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR AIRSPEED AND ALTITUDE. Read your MDA altitude out loud. Getting focus on the HSI or CDI can cause you to overlook the airspeed and altitude.

Jose and Arron, you guys are completely correct right up the the point where you execute the missed approach. At that point how you execute a missed approach in a 201 is not the same as you would in a M20C. The real challenge with a manual gear Mooney is that when flying the glide slope at 90kts you're already 20 mph faster than what is ideal for manual gear retraction. When you go missed and power up, you'll have to bring the nose up ( as Stevesm20b mentioned) and let speed bleed off to 80-90 mph before you raise the gear and the push the nose back down to complete the clean up and fess up.

I never knew that about a c model thanks for the knowledge. I knew the gear was manual but didn't realize the extra considerations required in a go around in a c model.
