Probably didn't hurt it much if it didn't hurt you.

Ha! Just shoot at a 1/500 and 12.5 (this has to be an uncoated Summar) and
the Tri-X will handle the overexposure fine. If you shoot the whole roll
outdoors in the sun, drop back 20% on your dev time. What dev? If D76 1:1,
use 8 min instead of 10 and you'll be fine.
