Depending on how they are laid up, CF layups get anywhere from 150k to 800k
psi tensile strength and are a capable according to computer models of 1
million lbs. psi tensile strength. The secret is in the quality of layup
and the orientation of the fibers. Read Andy Marshall's book for details.

I believe that and the possibility of the way you did your lay-up. Did you
use a vacuum bag? That would compact the epoxy/CF!
VS 'Free Air' Lay-up....
