Default Gear Delaminating

Well,
It finally started to happen. I have the "Fiber Classics" version of the 33% 330L (gear with the plywood inserts). I was flying at my first contest this weekend and kinda bounced it a little. Up untill now I have been greasing it in so smooth it has not been an issue 20 flights later. I guess I was a little "dumb thumbed" at my first contest and I heard it "POP" when it came down. I guess it was harder then I should have landed, but now that it's split I hear it wont take long.
I flew it the rest of the weekend with no ill effects, but you can tell that side is much softer now. What did the rest of you guys do?
