Nervous? Yes. Reckless? No.
You're both going through the same development of experience & judgement everyone goes through on the way to becoming more experienced pilots. The process never stops - as long as you always have an 'out', just as you did. This experience will be one of many in your flying history. You will encounter other times where your **current** skills are challenged. Like this event you'll learn from them & be able to apply the knowledge another time.
Have fun & enjoy the development of your competency!
