Nicely done! IMHO, EOC gets easier with time and a whole lot less scary as you learn to expect when the pedal is going to have power braking and when it's not. I was scared to death when I first tried it, but now it seems second nature. My foot has learned to sense where the pedal engages and I now reflexively push harder when I feel the pedal resist at a higher point. I discovered this winter that my ABS works even with the engine off and no power braking left. I've also learned there are just times when it's an unsafe practice and don't do it at all.
