Check your QR. Is it the same one you've been using? I have also had some QRs (from one particular manufacturer...cough, cough, ALEX, cough...) that felt tight to close but slipped during hard efforts.
Heal up quick.
I don't know what kind of QR I had on it, and it's in the shop now. It sounds like this could be similar to what happened to me. LBS guy said that with a normal properly functioning road bike, it should be impossible to pull the wheel out of the dropout because of the design. He suspected an axle problem.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
