Narrative:
We were approaching abq from the southeast; and were cleared the visual for runway 3 from too high and too fast of a position. This was the end of our day and had taken a lengthy delay leaving [the departure airport]; we unwisely tried to make the approach work; but below 1;000 feet I knew that I was forcing a bad situation and initiated a go-around. We got vectors around and landed on runway 8.we had flown a transcontinental red eye; short adequate rest at best; then flew through a high work load weather event on the east coast. Our flight to abq got delayed by 1:24 due to catering and ground crew issues. All told; after flying 11:59 in a twenty four period that involved a red eye; I was more tired than I realized and it had a definite impact on my judgement.
