Live and learn, right?
I wouldn't sweat it too much. Back in the early days of Trek CF bikes, I had worse looking damage than that to one of the CF main tubes on my 2100 (CF tubes bonded on Al lugs to Al stays and forks.) I raced that bike at 215 pounds and I'd probably still be riding it if some crapwad hadn't stolen it out of my basement.
