A lot of good replies here.
My only addition would be to get the check-list out and go through it methodically after an incident like this.
With the stress that an incident places on you it is all too easy to miss / mix / do the incorrect actions. IMHO, after an "incident" and if it is safe and sensible to remain in the ac - Get clear of the runway (if safe / sensible). Tell ATC that you will be holding for a couple of mins, take a couple of deep breaths and get the cards out to check that the ac is set up correctly for the app & landing and to ensure that the post landing and taxy back checks are correct (and the shut down checks once "back on the chocks").
It has saved many a co@k-up for me after the brain has gone wibble post an "incident" (& I have thousands of hours in the fast pointy metal as well a puddle-jumpers).
Overall mon brave, sounds like you made all the correct decisions
