Engine power loss at 150 feet

Had a loss of power at 150 feet. Option 1 was land straight ahead however my concern was the boundary fence just off the end of the threshold if I floated long. Option 2 was the grass strip parallel with the main runway but it has been extremely wet and boggy from a lot of rain in the area. Given I had partial power, I chose a gentle coordinated turn and landed on the cross runway with a slight tailwind. We are spoiled for outlanding options where I fly but the past training I received which automatically kicked in was what contributed to an uneventful outcome.
