One thing I've learned is that - as long as you're OK that's all that counts.
Even though your pride takes a hit and it sucks to have to run consider yourself lucky. Things could have gone much worse. "Revenge" is a tempting concept but a futile one. But I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't feel the same way right after it happened.
As you play it over and over in your head - you should realize that, even all the training in the world, and all the concealed weapons possible might have helped but will never guarantee this could never happen.
I've had a similar experience in the past. It just makes me more cautious of my surroundings in the future. It's second nature for me nowadays to check my angles at doorways, to know my surroundings, know my escape routes, know the make/model of the car following me for the past 30 miles etc. It doesn't mean I'm paranoid - I've just trained enough so I don't have to think about it consciously.
I agree that you're probably not going to have the opportunity to get "revenge." But it takes time to suck it up. I feel for you, man. You'll be fine.
