I feel your pain. Similar thing happened to my CXP33 rim on a club training ride. Pothole, I think.FCN 2-4.

Exactly, it's when the rim is split that you need to think about replacing the wheel; this one just loosen the brakes off to get you home and then bend it back0 -

I've heard tell that there is nothing worse than a poorly executed rim job. It can leave you wobbling when riding and the discomfort is just a pain in the arse.
