I honestly thought I was going to do one of those horrifying splats, or worse, start rolling backwards! I was able to clip out in time, though, and walked the rest of the hill. I looked back and my friend was walking her bike up too, so I didn't feel so bad.
Well done. I love the bit about your husband helping thats not embarrassing thats really sweet.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
