Narrative:

Became distraction by runway change (for winds) required 360 degree turn away from airport after initial gumps and did not go back to omitted items (undercarriage) -- gear left up to maintain blue line speed and failed to do final check while lining up on left to right crosswind on final. Lesson -- never again leave out a gumps item and always do short final rechk!
