Work to improve for next time, but don't dwell too long on this one. Also, realize that your audience rarely perceives your mistakes as acutely as you do. I've written a couple of posts about this that might help: http://tinyurl.com/3l89w8 and http://tinyurl.com/3v3cua.

But please don’t beat yourself up over “irrational” fears. Fear is hard-wired into us humans, which is why screaming “Don’t be scared!” doesn’t help much! So be kind to yourself. Focus compassionately on root causes, rather than symptoms, and you will do great. Best of luck! Thanks for the kind words about my article! But please don’t beat yourself up over “irrational” fears.
