Phredd,
  Had you been normally driving/braking previous to this incident?  Was 
the road wet (go through a puddle or heavy rain)?  I've had the brakes 
slip (for lack of a better term) when they were very wet.  It took a 
little longer to stop until they dried.  Is it possible one set of wheels 
were wet?  Had the brakes been worked on?  Maybe they had some grease 
left on the pad.  As you mentioned that they were OK afterwards, it would 
not seem to be a problem such as low brake fluid (did you check that?) or 
lack of grease on the pad slide (also for lack of better terminology).
  If you find out what happened it would be good to post it for the rest 
of us "hot" drivers.
