Narrative:

While climbing out from 1d2 I may have penetrated the TCA from under the outer edge. The enclosed map shows my flight path. I was returning home from a business trip at night, and was eager to gain as much altitude as possible. While flying single engine at night I prefer to operate with as much altitude as practical and was timing my climb to pass through 3000' after the boundary. I believe I may have passed through 3000' about a mi inside the TCA boundary. The primary factor was my desire to gain altitude at night, secondary was fatigue after a long day.
