Narrative:
I was flying a left closed traffic pattern for runway 36. I was monitoring the CTAF radio and I was trying to provide myself situational awareness in the pattern. I was descending and called turning my base leg. When I called my base leg a piper seminole announced that they were on a 4 mile final on the ILS runway 36; I believe they called before but I probably missed the radio call. I replied on the radio saying that I would hurry up for the seminole but I failed to realize how quickly the aircraft was coming in. When I touched down I heard the seminole call for a go around; and I was performing a touch n go. In my mind I noted that the plane could possibly be above me; so I climbed out but leveled off at around 500ft AGL because I still could not see the plane. As this is happening I hear a pilot on final call and say there is a plane right above me; and as he said that I saw the seminole about 200ft above me. With that radio call I saw the plane; we both had visual contact; and the seminole decided to turn crosswind and I extended my upwind leg until the other plane turned downwind.I think a contributing factor was the strong winds and moderate turbulence in the pattern; and I was fixated on flying more than listening to the radios. I also should have looked longer at the final approach vector before turning on my base leg. The largest mistake however was doing a touch n go while another plane was performing a go around. I misjudged the distances involved and I should have made a full stop landing.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: C172 pilot and PA-44 had near miss after the landing C172 pilot performed a touch and go while the PA-44 pilot executed a go-around over him. The C172 pilot had misjudged the PA-44's approach speed.
