Good job! 
After that kind of experience I generally feel like having accomplished something great.
 
I read an article in a moto-mag quit some time ago now that was explaining
that the difference between thinking "it's done, I'm on the ground" and struggling not fall down until
the end, and trying to manage makes an great difference. 
Clutching out to reduce the traction would have been an alternative. What you did is probably better
but more tricky in an emergency case.
