Attempting a go around from a botched simulated emergency landing neither the private pilot trainee or the flight instructor aboard an M20R was able to establish a climb and the aircraft came to earth well to the left of the runway and rolled down a hill before coming to rest in a 'pit'.

Narrative:
Near the end of the lesson my instructor asked that I perform a simulated 'engine out' landing at a nearby airport. Upon touchdown the plane bounced and a go around was instituted by providing full throttle. The plane was unable to gain positive rate of climb and began to drift slightly to the left. At that point I announced to the instructor that he was to take the controls; which he did. The instructor also attempted to gain altitude; but was unable. The plane continued to drift to the left (south) of the runway; touched down in the construction site a few hundred feet to the left side of the runway and continued to roll down the hill to settle at the bottom of the pit.
