Sounds like a good learning experience, even just writing it up.

Definitely practice releasing and lowering with a reverso/guide if that's what you were using, and do it somewhere safe. A pack full of rocks works well as "unconscious second". Personally I gave up on using a guide for anything except skinny double ropes some time back, for exactly the reason you have discovered, and have come to prefer a simple munter hitch for bringing up or lowering a second. It's worth knowing how to do that too, you may be surprised how well it works.
