Don't worry buddy, your strength will rebound quickly. That's a perk of linnear periodization. You start off lighter, then build up intensity through the mesocycle. Here's a paragraph I originally posted in Anuj's journal that applies to what you just did for the 15 rep mesocycle:

The extra energy stores do however carry over to other training phases so that more work can be done in them, this will make them more productive.
