Narrative:
ATC asked us to maintain 190 [knots] to zzzzz; I realized that might be a little tight; but I thought it would work if configured a little early. I was referencing the radar altimeter throughout and as the speed was not coming off as I would have liked I believed it to be manageable. I thought I had an additional 300-400 feet to configure to flaps 30 for landing; when I heard the 1;000 foot call. I [immediately] executed a go-around for being unstable.cause - 1) length of time between flights. 2) long day. 3) high rate of speed to FAF.knowing how little I have been working; I should have been a little more aggressive in my sa (situational awareness) and planning.
