Narrative:

I took off in aircraft X with lighter than normal weight due to covid...no passengers. It was just me and about 1/3 tank of fuel. The plane climbed much faster than I am used to. Typically; I fly at gross with fuel and passengers. On initial climbout I may have ever so slightly clipped ZZZ airspace. I was with ATC; and given the 'own nav' instruction. I took that to mean I could continue my climb. However; that climb may have been just a little too fast. In the future; I need to be more careful when climbing when I'm significantly below gross.
